W7. Why Free Culture matters? - ChaeHyeon Lee

Why Free Culture matters? Free culture is related to copyright. If you search for ‘Free Culture in Wikipedia, you can find a free culture movement. The Free Cultural Movement is a social movement that promotes the freedom to distribute and modify creative works using free content on the Internet and other media. The movement opposes excessive copyright laws. Many participants in this movement argue that overly restrictive copyright laws hinder creative activity. Wikipedia is a free, licensed content that anyone can edit, use, modify and distribute.
 
The organization associated with the Free Culture is the ‘Creative Commons’ founded by Lawrence Lessig. The Creative Commons license (CCL) is a pre-authorization mark of work distributed here If any creator keeps certain conditions for his or her creation, it can be used anytime. Constant conditions may set the terms of use of the work as desired by the creator. The direction that Creative Commons pursues is to create a society where more creative works can be created by freely sharing creativity. It is hoped that there will be more active creative activity in a world where nothing new can be created.
 
However, the Creative Commons License (CCL) does not mean that the work is free to use. But many people think that the Creative Commons License (CCL) is free. Not everyone is aware that some bloggers or sns users are just using other people's works. This activity allows the copyright owner to publicly mark the terms of use of the work and make it available on condition that the work is used without permission each time they use it. Even though it is a copyrighted work, there is a situation in which it is used arbitrarily because it does not pay money or the copyright owner's sanction does not appear right away. In this regard, I think that the issue of copyright is a big debate. Despite the introduction of the Creative Commons license for user convenience, this is not keeping up well. In addition, copyrighted works that must be paid and used are also circulated and consumed illegally. I think we have to think about the concept of copyright.

    Does not that mean that the Creative Commons License (CCL) is free to use? I thought so. So I thought people could bring a photo with the CCL mark to Wikipedia. In fact, I still do not have a concept of copyright. I do not use it because I don't know, and I definitely need to pay attention to copyright issues.

W5. Can we trust Wikipedia? - Seron Kim

Wikipedia is a large site used by people all over the world. People get information through Wikipedia and edit article directly when needed. Through the action of collective intelligence, Wikipedia is becoming more and more developed and growing. Can we trust Wikipedia? I think "We can trust Wikipedia but we should not trust it unconditionally.“   Obviously Wikipedia is reliable. Wikipedia itself has an implicit framework for editing, and people follow it and use it. It is also possible to increase the trust of the article by leaving a source for the information, and to delete the edited information through a predetermined process. So there will be more and more reliable information in Wikipedia.   But you should not trust Wikipedia unconditionally. Because there may be misinformation in Wikipedia. Of course, there is a high possibility that it will be fixed through the deletion function of Wikipedia and the collective intelligence of people. But it will be a ...

W1. What do I know about Wikipedia and what do I want to learn about it? - Yong il, Seon.

We learned another idea, we want an easy explanation.          Many people used Wikipedia. Why people visited Wikipedia? I have much thought about the answer to this question. Everyone will be editor in Wikipedia. So, several people’s opinions can be confirmed on one issue. It is also an important characteristic of democracy. Democracy is the recognition of the other’s ideas. And already in France, there were ‘Tolerance’. It means that As I am right in my opinion, and so you are right in your opinion. I think Wikipedia is making ‘Tolerance idea’ work very well. So, you can not force your own ideas on Wikipedia. Depending on the situation, users may be students, teachers, or even completely different third parties. From these points of view, Wikipedia is the modern version of Greece’s Agora.            And it is not over. Always people want an easy expanation, the more complex the case. Wikipedia has a structured form...

W2. My first edits. Describe why you made them. - Seron Kim

I rarely had access to Wikipedia before this class. Because there is a service called 'Knowledge in' operated by Naver in Korea. I've been used to the 'Knowledge in' for a long time, so I've always used it if there's something I don't know. However, I got to know Wikipedia in this class. Wikipedia has a much larger volume of data than I thought, and it is being used by people all over the world. Also, anyone could edit information. I want to search and edit my favorite soccer information. So I decided to do the editing on my idols, Ko Jong-soo and Nadson.   What was interesting about editing was that although the Korean Wikipedia was detailed by the players who played in the Korean league, the English Wikipedia had little or no information. So I want to edit more. Because I want to add their information to English Wikipedia to let people around the world know.   Different countries have Wikipedia sites and the amount and quality of informati...
