Summary
A range of tactics has been tested to escape authorship-related prosecution in oppressive regimes. One recent example forming part of the Piracy Project, exercises the "I am Spartacus" strategy. After the release of an unpublished manuscript, "000Kitap, Dokunan Yanar," presenting links between the Gulen movement and the Turkish police forces, the author, independent journalist Ahmet Şik and his colleague Nedim Sener, were imprisoned before the book could be published. The banned manuscript had been posted on the Internet and got downloaded over a hundred thousand times. During his time in jail, facing charges of terrorism, a printed copy of the book circulated attributing authorship to 127 names listed on the back cover. Here the dispersal of signature becomes a tactic for free speech in oppressive regimes.
