We will discuss the following points:

In particular, we will present how the various initiatives played out, how they impacted on Wikimedia projects, evaluate their pros and cons, possibly give out some good advice on how to replicate them in your own country and/or community... and, why not, listen to some of the music we managed to liberate!
