Digital rights

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term "Digital Rights" is indicative of the freedom of individuals to perform actions involving the use of a computer, electronic device, or a communications network. The term is particularly related to a set of actions which would normally be permitted in accordance with the rights of individuals as they exist in any other aspect of life but which have been impacted by a change to digital technology.

In 2005 the UK's Open Rights Group published a mind-map diagram documenting the range of organisations and people active in the cause of preserving digital rights in the UK. The diagram related groups, individuals, and web sites to interest areas.
