W5.1 Free-culture movement -CAI YAYU

 1.Summary

The Free Culture Movement (FCM) is a series of social movements that promote open, free and equal production, dissemination and access to culture. At the heart of this movement is the idea that knowledge and culture should be public property and that all people should have equal access and freedom to create, disseminate and use them.
The Free Culture movement stems from the opposition to the privatisation and patenting of knowledge and culture. The privatisation of knowledge and culture has grown over the last few decades, with many companies and organisations trying to control cultural production and dissemination through patents, copyright and other legal means. This trend has led to cultural production becoming increasingly centralised and monopolised, with less and less participation by ordinary people.
Proponents of the free culture movement argue that this trend has had a detrimental effect on cultural innovation and social progress. They argue that knowledge and culture should be shared, not privately owned. They argue that people should have the right to use other people's works in their own, as well as to use and adapt works that are no longer protected by copyright in the public domain. These proponents believe that only through sharing and collaboration can cultural production and innovation be made freer and more prosperous.

2. Interesting point

Creative Commons (CC) is a not-for-profit organisationIts main aim is to increase the accessibility of creative works as a basis for others to create and share them, and to find appropriate legislation to ensure this.
Creative Commons offers a wide range of licensing options and combinations of terms that allow creators to share their creations with the public, granting others the right to redistribute them, while retaining certain other rights.
This can be in the form of open content or the public domain.Creative Commons was created to avoid the problems of modern intellectual property and copyright law with respect to sharing information.

3. Discussion point

In the age of knowledge sharing, how can we guarantee the genuine article?


Comments

  1. Strengthen the awareness of intellectual property rights and reinforce the related regulations of intellectual property rights to clarify the guidelines and application scope of knowledge sharing.
