In addition to PK’s day-to-day advocacy work, we also focus on a number of specific issue areas, and work to find long-term solutions.
Empowering Creators in the Digital Age
Making Copyright and Technology Work for Artists.
The “Empowering Creators” project was designed to address the impact of new digital technologies and increasingly restrictive copyright policies on the ability of artists to create. Digital technologies have the potential to allow creators to distribute and promote their works inexpensively and ubiquitously.The Global Knowledge Initiative
Championing the Public’s stake in International Intellectual Property Rights
As the Internet begins to knit nation-states and commerce into a tighter international fabric, new efforts are afoot to change the international intellectual property laws that will govern e-commerce and Internet communications. The outcome of these deliberations will have profound consequences for some of the most basic legal values in American society: free speech, consumer protection, product liability, transparency in government.The Open Access Project
Promoting the Free and Unrestricted World-Wide Electronic Distribution of Peer-Reviewed Journal Literature
The core goal of PK’s Open Access Project is to promote increased use of open access publishing, through education and public policy advocacy, by the private and the public sectors.The WiFi Project
PK sponsors OpenPark.net, a non profit organization founded to bring wireless Internet access to the the public on the National Mall.
