The Really Free School..After Occupying the House of Guy Richie in Snooty Fitzroy Square ( London) for a While, a court Order was issued for the occupiers to leave.

Today ( Friday) saw all the Schools Books, desks, furniture, piano in a heap ...outside Ritchie's house.
Around the Chattel Was a Party going on with food, drink as well as People singing all the old songs whilst Police guarded the Rich Richie's front door.

Suddenly the call went out to all to pick up a piece of furniture about 100 people started to carry it through the streets of the West End in a Ritual Procession.

Was an amazing Sight ! Eventually arriving at a Squatted empty Pub in Rathbone Place
( near oxford St) Where Food and drink were served.

sure it's a creative process, sure you might want to make a living out of it, sure you've spent money on tools to produce them...but the same can be said of words, and much more, where people in the protest movements do NOT copyright them, in fact go out of their way to offer them up (not to the commercial world, hence Creative Commons) to the world for people to do as they will.

Call me old school, call me copyleft, but I'm anti-copyright

I get the copyleft thing but how can you otherwise make sure your pics don't get used by the Daily Mail or turn up on some advert for shit? Genuine question if anyone can help.

The tool you need to make your work available for copyleft licence is:  http://creativecommons.org.uk/

CC offers a number of recognised licenses so, for example, you can license your work for anyone to use providing they aren't making money out of it.... so that stops the Mail... or you can say anyone can use it for anything.

CC applies to any work/material, not just pics.

Of course, the Mail (et al) are cunts so may just use it anyway :)

what kind of pathetic free school is this? first sign of police and you scarper. fuck their court orders! what happened to the culture of resistance among squatters? I heard that these are the same people who made "a deal" with the millionaire owners of the last place they were in to leave without any problems or attempt at resisting.

section 6 is their law. its not ours. don't try an claim it. what is ours is our power and strength in numbers and unity. get out of central london and come to the communities where the poeple are at - not the rich elite.

but -these squatters are probably the kids oft he rich elite anyway.

(or do I mean troll)

I'm sorry the actions of the really free school do not measure up to your high ideals and radical stance. I forgot this is indymedia uk, where you should always slag off what other people are doing and claim the moral highground.

What ever happened to a diversity of tactics?

100 people helping to move kit from one house to another place and occupying it to continue the high profile project of the free school, which has now hosted hundreds of events, and continues to do so... yeah man, it's rubbish isn't it!

Oh yeah, and these are the same free school people that have hosted several all day skillshare and practical workshop events about squatting.

And of course everyone who lives in central london is rich, of course.

thanks for the apology. you're right, they don't measure up. you put signs up on your windows: " strike. occupy. resist"
you forget your own basic words, and there is a complete lack of resistance. you move when the plod come and ask you to scarper with their court order. how very nice and english of you. and in the last place you "returned the place undamaged without its owner having to go to court to seek possession". again, how nice of you, making sure the millionaire property owners are not inconvenienced.

times are going to get harder. we need to get harder in response. take what you want from what i say. i did the whole central london squatting/free school/workshop thing years ago. just trying to pass on some friendly advice and criticism.
