We have progressed from a read-only media landscape (traditional media) to a read-write media landscape (the ability to create, read and remix media). It has raised some interesting questions about our current copyright policies. Notes from this week's lecture:
- Text isn't copyrighted as strictly has rich text (video and audio) because you can quote and paraphrase legally as long as you credit the original source
- Remixing is a form of literacy and takes more effort to remix than to create something new
- Creative Commons Licences:
- Attribution - credit the original author
- Non commercial - permission to use content as long as you don't profit from it
- No derivatives - can copy and share content as long as you don't make any changes to it
- Share Alike - can use content but your creation must also have the same Share Alike licence
Reflection:
Why can't we re-use any content as long as we credit the author?
