In their own words

“COMMUNIA advocates for policies that expand the public domain and increase access to and reuse of culture and knowledge. We seek to limit the scope of exclusive copyright to sensible proportions that do not place unnecessary restrictions on access and use. The COMMUNIA Association for the Public Domain is a network of activists, researchers and practitioners from across the EU.…”
