 1. Summary


 The pre-culture movement is a social movement that promotes freedom to distribute and modify works for free. Lawrence Lessick led the movement against seeing copyright laws too restrictively. He played a significant role through the challenge of Sony Bono copyright extension law and the establishment of Creative Commons. The movement aligns with other movements, such as open-source software, remix culture, and open access. Major organizations related to pre-culture include Creative Commons, student body FreeCulture.org , and QuestionCopyright.org . These organizations are striving to promote cultural diversity and scientific progress in their own way. Opposition to the pre-culture movement mainly comes from copyright advocates, who are criticizing the idea of the pre-culture movement.


2. What was interesting


 How the pre-culture movement influences cultural creativity and scientific progress while promoting free sharing and modification of works. Also, its connection with various movements, including Leinster and Free Software, is an interesting aspect. Also, the arguments about the opposition of copyright advocates related to the pre-culture movement and why are interesting are also interesting.


3. What do you want to discuss


 For discussion, there could be a discussion about the impact of the pre-culture movement on copyright-related modern society and culture. We could share our opinions on how these movements affect the cultural industry and its creators, and how their impact is continuously developing. It would also be interesting to discuss ways and challenges to maintain a balance between copyright and free culture.

Introduction to the blog

 This blog is a digital forum where students from Collective Intelligence in Practice: Understanding Wikipedia at the Hanyang University in Korea (2024) will discuss their weekly readings and activities. Each week you are expected to post a blog post on our blog and make a comment on another student's post. You can do so on one of the following three topics: a) You can blog about the readings for the next week. As you are expected to do the assigned readings FOR the lectures they are assigned to, you are expected to post your blog and comments BEFORE that lecture. An ideal commentary should be about half a page in length (~200 words), divided into three clearly labeled sections in which you: 1) summarize in your own words of materials you read; 2) mention any new, interesting, or unusual items learned; 3) identify at least one question, concern, or discussion angle that is either problematic in some respect or could have been elaborated more. This question is likely to be...

W10.2 May 10 (Fri)—CHENG SHIYI

1.Summary   Remix culture is a culture that allows and encourages the creation of derivative works through the editing of existing material, challenges exclusive copyright restrictions, promotes the idea of remixing, and facilitates the free flow of creativity. In Remix, Lessig describes the shift from a read-only culture to a read/write culture, where the advent of digital technology has redefined the way culture is created and distributed in ways that facilitate the interactive relationship between producers and consumers and democratize the production of ideas and the distribution of content. The history of remix culture dates back to the 19th century, e.g.: according to American media scholar Henry Jenkins, but the balance between creation and consumption shifted with the advancement of analog recording and reproduction technologies.The analog era of the early 20th century, with its specialized creative equipment and cheap consumer devices, led to the strengthening of proprieta...

W1.1 Intro class: intro to class, blog, wiki and other assignments——CHENG SHIYI

1. Summary  I have taken classes from you, the professor, before and have always been interested in Wikipedia, so I chose to take your class this semester regardless. I understand from your introduction to all the courses in the lecture that this semester's Collective Intelligence in Practice course is centered around Wikipedia, which I understand is an encyclopedia that anyone can edit, and that Wikipedia brings together knowledge from around the world. One of the quotes in your course syllabus is that Technocrati's chief technologist says that soon "Wiki-knowledge will be a required job skill." Wikipedia, a non-profit encyclopedic website, is ranked among the top 5 most popular websites in the world, all thanks to a little bit of contribution from volunteers in the world. I see from this that the Collective Intelligence in Practice program understands Collective Intelligence on the Internet through Wikipedia from a sociological perspective. There are many ways to s...
