'''infoAnarchy''' was a [[wiki]] taking a stance against [[censorship]], [[copyright]]s, [[patent]]s and even excessive enforcement of [[trademark]]s. The website promoted and discussed the subversion of [[intellectual property]] using tools like [[peer-to-peer]] [[file sharing]], and has frequently made reference to alternative economic models like the idea of a "[[gift economy]]." All of infoAnarchy's text is automatically placed in the [[public domain]].

== History ==
+
The idea for infoAnarchy came from an idea posted on ShouldExist.org.{{ref|ShouldExist}}
+
 
+
Since 2006, the website and the wiki have been suffering maintenance problems, including off-line periods.  A portion of the articles has been cloned into [[Anarchopedia]], and continues to exist.

== InfoAnarchy wiki ==
+
The '''infoAnarchy [[wiki]]''' (or "iA wiki" for short) is a collection of openly editable pages on the subject of information retrieval, distribution and management. It is part of the [[infoAnarchy]] website. The Wiki's [[mission statement]] says:
+
 
+
: Information related to [[file sharing]], [[copyright]], the [[gift economy]], [[cyber liberties]], [[peer to peer research]], [[information tool]]s, and similar topics which are discussed on infoAnarchy.{{ref|Wiki}}
+
 
+
The website' slogan is "Which future do you want to live in?" This alludes to the perspective that, if traditional [[intellectual property]] laws are rigidly enforced, the [[digital commons]] of the [[Internet]] might be destroyed.
+
 
+
The infoAnarchy Wiki uses the [[MediaWiki]] software (similar to [[Wikipedia]]). The rest of the infoAnarchy website is based on [[Scoop (software)|Scoop]]. All content contributed to the Wiki is in the [[public domain]] and may therefore be freely used for any purpose.
+
 
+
Articles on infoAnarchy wiki tend to be less verbose than those on other wiki or websites.  A distinctive feature is the "See also:" line introducing every article.
