High-tech poem. The global hackerwarfare has begun. One part of it is known as cryptowarfare or cryptowar. As a consequence, people will look after easy and reliable encryption techniques - cryptez or cryptfree – thus creating large movements like cryptolibre ! Open source will contribute through cryptopen or opencryptology. Such techniques of course scare the imperialist organisation echelonsa… In a near future, such fights will be observed in the field of nanotechnology. Social movements will emerge, with consumer indications such as nano-free or nonanotech slogans . Indeed, the nanobioinfo revolution is yet to come, with its nightmare of nanobiowar. For now, we only face the unbelievable power on the wordlwide cognitive sphere by the rapidly evolving googleplex and even yahooplex. The horizon of these new challenges are far beyond intellectual property : it deals with knowledge property.
