Indeks 73 Initiative has published the English version of the report "Freedom of artistic expression and free access to culture".

The report is a result of a national survey among the cultural producers was carried out via Internet between 24 September and 5 November 2008. The goals of the survey were:

• to examine the level of legal awareness concerning freedom of artistic creation and free access to cultural works (particularly their knowledge of Article 73 of the Polish Constitution),
• to diagnose the reasons and circumstances of restricting artistic freedom and to evaluate the scope of censorship in Poland,
• to examine how the public interest is interpreted and implemented in cultural institutions,
• to examine the level of awareness concerning free access to culture,
• to collect and examine opinions concerning the existing copyright law,
• to check to what extent artists are willing to openly share their works (for example on Creative Commons licences).
