| Abstract: | It has been theorized by scholars how the Web is changing leisure experiences. This essay goes on by discussing the Web and shifting notions of leisure, labour and intellectual property. Much online activity is described under the umbrella term of 'piracy'. By discussing online cultural production in terms of what Pekka Himanen calls 'the hacker ethic', we can rethink rhetorics of piracy and better understand the positive and negative aspects of online activities etc. |
