W7: why free culture matters ?
Free culture is a trendy topic of the 21st century. It is issued from the social movement of the same name that fight for the right to use and share freely what is at one’s disposition.
Nowadays more and more people are convinced that sharing is the future, open source software have appeared, different application to share knowledge such as learning language, mathematics and other are created ....we realized that we can also learn from the people around us, and they with us.
What keep us from sharing, use and re-use piece of work from someone else ? Copyrights. Copyrights is similar to property, it was created to acknowledge that this particuliar thing belong to someone else and thus if you want to use it you have to pay. But this is a capitalistic point of view, properties have sure developped production of countries but what about copyright ?
At the light of the 2012 anti-copyright protest in the United State of America and in Europe, we can ask ourselves, are these copyrights too restrictive ? There is so much to be gain by sharing some intellectual properties, but of course copyright are important but to what extent should they be ? Do everything has to be protected, guarded safely or can we come to a compromise ?
Is copyright killing the free culture ? No, copyright and freeculture can work hand in hand by compromising ...
free culture can be viewed as free but also like freedom, and one freedom ends when you intrude in another one’s freedom. What do you think ?
