In addition to being a technology, we consider the Internet as a historical era in which citizens have an obligation to harness its potential to democratize society, empower ourselves as individuals, and facilitate access to knowledge without intermediaries.
From our inception, at Xnet, we have been pioneers and have dedicated a significant part of our work to the development and use of digital tools, communication strategies, advocacy devices, and viral campaigns to exert pressure on various fronts, promoting the formation of an active and responsible citizenry in governance. We have played a promoting and active role in key events like the 15M movement in 2011 and many others.
Since 2018, we have been organizing the Postgraduate Program in Technopolitics and Rights in the Digital Era in Barcelona.
For several years, we have been working on tools and methodologies that the Internet teaches us, applying them to new forms of political self-organization based on pragmatism, defending justice, and effectively updating democracy in the analog world.
Our efforts revolve around translating the distributed (and NOT horizontal) governance of the network into an updated global governance.

Become a Banker (Hazte Banquero) – Black Cards: everything they wanted to hide from you, told in their own words. This show is a true story and, as such, it is dramatic but, most of all, it is absurd and atrociously comical.
Sustainable Economy Act will harm Internet Is the End of Impunity The summits of ministers are no longer what they were, videos, pictures, events and press clippings

Big Christmas Pack. Leaving from SGAE takes between 1 and 3 years. Almost as getting out of a religious organization. Do you need help? ¡Merry Christmas!

On how public funds must have an impact on the public realm and not be privatized. The Woody Allen film Vicky Cristina Barcelona was generously funded by Barcelona City Council. Even when they are intended for commercial exploitation, the products of developments financed by public funds should always be published under free licenses to an […]
Fair distribution of Royalties and reform of royalties management and collecting societies. At the moment, royalties management societies are a monopoly that hinder the circulation of culture and the returns to its authors. *Ref.: point 2 Legal Demands, paragraph B.

Artists must be able to live from their work if they wish to do so. The traffic in authors rights by publishers, recording companies and royalties management societies does not protect the interests of authors.

Every year, private US industry lobbies exert an invasive pressure on the Spanish Executive through their Special 301 Report on countries that require special surveillance because of their disobedience to the interests of Hollywood entertainment multinationals. This report names Spain as one of its top offenders and stigmatizes the whole of Spanish society as pirates. […]

In Spain, the SGAE charges hairdressing salons for having the radio on, and they charge radio stations for broadcasting the same content. They use a flat fee that disregards whether the material broadcast is part of its repertory or not. They charge for everything, twice over. STOP ACTA http://d-evolution.fcforum.net/

Forum 2004 is already here. Thanks a lot. This motto was all around Barcelona by the time this map hit the streets on March 19, 2004. But, what is this Forum really about?
Silence is gold
