Week 7: Free Culture, Free Society

Thursday, September 24, 2009 | |



The Internet. A place so vast you can find almost everything. Its endless boundaries stretches out further into space than the moon. Its all great, its all free... wait, its not?

If there is one thing that the internet hates, its copyright. Yes, those corporations that restrict us from listening to our favorite music, and that emphasize their hate of free speech and the ability to share things.


Sometimes it just isn't fair, special when these corporations don't know shit about music. And no, their lovable Bugs Bunny cartoon can't save them from being the target of the internet hate machine. But what about the little fellas? The ones who want their works to be recognized by all as their own. Thats when Creative Commons comes in to save the day. Yes, with Creative Commons, people can use other peoples work and share it with the world, without infringing that pain the arse All Rights Reserve law. It also gives the author of the work a chance to share their masterpiece with the world.
