Take a look at the Wikipedia page for "ethics" just to get an overview and figure out what directions you might be interested in exploring. Probably a good book to start to think about the ethical sides of remix is Charles Ess's recent book <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=k1Rx4cXrPaUC&dq=charles+ess&source=gbs_navlinks_s" rel="nofollow">Digital Media Ethics</a>, which has a chapter on Copying and Distributing in Digital Media. Then of course in addition you'll have all the popular and scholarly discussion about copyright, copyleft, creative commons, open source, etc - which may be what you want to concentrate on, but you will need some ethical theory as well. Charles Ess is actually coming to Bergen in October, and is giving a talk for us on Wednesday October 21 at 12:15 - and one at Infomedia the day before. He's an ethics professor who's specialised in the internet for a couple of decades, so would certainly be a good person to talk with about these issues :) The University Library doesn't have Ess's book yet (I just asked them to buy it) but you can borrow it from my office for a few days if you like. Should be a fun project - I'm looking forward to learning more!!
