Support-me

The Chronicle of culture and law's site has demanded several weeks of intense work, but this project is the culmination of over ten years of sustained efforts. I've worked on this project all by myself and funded it entirely out of my pocket. I wrote all the texts published on the site and entered all the references drawn from my own readings and research in the database. And I didn't mention yet the hours devoted to the design of the various sites published over the years, a design that is the result of the long and patient work of an amateur.

Establishing such a site and keeping it up to date bear costs related to software, equipment, domain names, hosting, etc. There's also the costs generated by thousands of hours of work over more than a decade. That's why I appeal to your generosity by suggesting a small donation through PayPal in a totally secure way.

You don't have to have a PayPal account to make a donation, a simple credit card is enough. I have access to no personal data related to the payment during the course of the transaction. I hope that your contributions will allow me to continue developing this site. Thank you in advance and I hope that we can all together make culture and law a recognised legal fields.

You can contribute the amount of your choice using these buttons: 5 € 10 € 25 € 100 € _ _ _ €

A multidisciplinary approach

This site focuses mainly on arts, culture, communication, journalism, media, information technology and social media through a multidisciplinary approach. I tackle problems related to freedom of expression, legal constraints that affect culture and communication industries and cultural policies, among other things.
