To effectively change democracy in America we must uniquely understand the problem. At Glassbooth we have taken great care to look deep into the heart of American democracy. Our findings led us to surprising and troubling trends that became the foundation of an organization. We believe these findings are actionable opportunities to create new solutions in a changing political environment. Glassbooth is the place where innovation and democracy meet.

ClipAid.com was started in the November of 200. The way the site works is simple. We post videos, pictures, and other interesting content, and our raise funds through paid advertisements. The money earned through these advertisements than goes to support the United Nation’s World Food Program. The inspiration comes from FreeRice.com, a site where users can answer vocabulary questions and donate grains of rice for every question they correctly answer. At ClipAid, you donate for watching videos and pictures.

Free culture at NYU is a chapter of a national student movement exploring the nature of innovation in the context of American Copyright law and media distribution. Free Culture is dedicated to the promotion of thoughtful and progressive discourse and debate, as well as relevant social activism. We stand behind the principles of a “common sense” approach to intellectual property rights as presented by Lawrence Lessig in his book “Free Culture”. We hope to serve those members of the NYU community with an intent in preserving an open exchange of creative issues.
