W7 : Why free culture matter ?
In a platform like Wikipedia,
where everyone is able to share their knowledge and have access of others one knowledge,
we can see that the “Free culture” is applicated. But in some works, on Wikimedia
for example for the pictures when you decide to post they ask you if it is your
own work and if you want a license on it, or if you want to let other users use
your pictures.
In the text the author
is talking about copyright and its relation with free culture. If I have well
understand the text, free culture matter because copyright can stop other people
creativity by denying them the
right to copy the work but also the right to use it, to produce new things,
original works that may be seen as deriving in some way from the work under
copyright.
For me it is true but
copyright is to protect the personal work of someone, to stop other people to steal
it or take benefits from it. So in a some way, I think that free culture matters
only if a person want to share and let others individuals use their work. Free
culture is depending on an individual vision in my opinion, so it only matters
when a person think that it’s okay to copy his work.
