http://www.egs.edu/ John Perry Barlow speaking about the Independence Declaration of Cyberspace, founding the Electronic Frontier Foundation EFF with John Gilmore and Mitch Kapor. John Perry Barlow discussing surveillance and censorship, and talking about hackers, hacking, privacy, Grateful Dead, piracy, civil liberties, law, police, FBI, Unites States Secret Service, freedom of information, code, programs, open source, digital rights. John Perry Barlow is an American poet, essayist, retired Wyoming cattle rancher, political activist and former lyricist for the Grateful Dead. Public open lecture with students of the European Graduate School EGS, Media and Communication Studies department program, Saas-Fee, Switzerland, Europe, 2006.
Born October 3, 1947, in Sublette County, Wyoming, John Perry Barlow Barlow attended elementary school in a one room schoolhouse. He was a student at the Fountain Valley School in Colorado. There Barlow met Bob Weir, who would later join the music group the Grateful Dead.
He is a former chairman of the Sublette County Republican Party and served as campaign manager for Dick Cheney during his 1978 Congressional campaign. By the early 2000s, Barlow was unable to reconcile his ardent libertarianism with the prevailing nonconservative movement and "didn't feel tempted to vote for Bush;" he joined the Democratic Party and publicly committed himself to outright political activism for the first time since his spell with the Republican Party. Barlow has subsequently declared that he is a Republican.
In 1986, Barlow joined The WELL online community, then known for a strong deadhead presence. He served on the company's board for directors for several years. In 1990, Barlow founded the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) along with fellow digital rights activists John Gilmore and Mitch Kapor. As a founder of EFF, Barlow helped publicize the Secret Service raid on Steve Jackson Games. Barlow's involvement is later documented in the non-fiction book T he Hacker Crackdown: Law and Disorder on the Electronic Frontier (1992) by Bruce Sterling[2]. EFF later sponsored the ground-breaking case Steve Jackson Games, Inc. v. United States Secret Service. Steve Jackson Games won the case in 1993. Barlow currently serves as vice-chairman of the EFF's board of directors.
From 1971 until 1995, John Perry Barlow wrote lyrics for the Grateful Dead, mostly through his relationship with Bob Weir. Amongst others, John Perry Barlow's songs for Grateful Dead include Cassidy (about Neal Cassady or Ellen Cassidy), Estimated Prophet, Black-Throated Wind, Hell in a Bucket, Mexicali Blues, The Music Never Stopped, and Throwing Stones.
His writings include A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace and The Economy of Ideas - widely circulated articles providing a vision for human creativity online. John Perry Barlow has written extensively for Wired Magazine, as well The New York Times, Nerve and Communications of the ACM.
