The FREESOULS project is a work of photography at the limits of copyright law. In 2007 Japanese venture capitalist and photographer (and now CEO of Creative Commons) Joichi Ito began a mission to capture portraits and release them under a free license: an artistic endeavor with an activist agenda. These 296 photographs make up a portrait of a free culture community, while the essays, by some of the leading theorists of the movement, advance strong statements at the intersection of art and commerce, theory and law. FREESOULS has been independently published as an artist's book in two limited editions.
