digital taxonomy – Learningcreep I’m sure that I might be forgiven for at first supposing that this week’s topic, “Class Resources and Intellectual Property”, might prove to be a little dull, but I was wrong. Before reading Chapter 8: “Copyright, Intellectual Property, and Open Educational Resources”, I watched the signposted video of Lawrence Lessig’s 2007 TED Talk, “Laws that Choke Creativity”. Immediately, I was captivated by the idea of remix that was presented and what this means, not just in terms of the law, but in terms of culture and what it means for teaching and learning in a digital age. New digital tools give us the ability to create new kinds of digital texts or artefacts, which often incorporate and appropriate the works of others. Referred to as ‘remix’, this practice of borrowing and building on existing works is becoming very common. The concept of remix made me think of the digital reincarnation of Bloom’s taxonomy, which has ‘creating’ as its pinnacle. Image sources:
Remix (book) 2008 book by Lawrence Lessig Lessig outlines two cultures - the read-only culture (RO) and the read/write culture (RW). The RO culture is the culture we consume more or less passively. Digital technology, however, does not have the 'natural' constraints of the analog that preceded it. As opposed to RO culture, Read/Write culture has a reciprocal relationship between the producer and the consumer. Lessig posits that digital technologies provide the tools for reviving RW culture and democratizing production. The Internet and Commons The internet is essentially the hub for this type of economy. Free Software Remixing is this software's very nature. YouTube's growing issue in copyright claims With growing frequency, YouTube has begun copyright striking, and taking down videos that appear to have claimed content in them in any way. To that Lessig's rebuttal is that the work made on such platforms should be free of legal ownership aside from its originator. Books portal
BBC World Service - The Forum, 05/03/2011 Culture libre Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. La culture libre est un mouvement social qui promeut la liberté de distribuer et de modifier des œuvres de l'esprit sous la forme d'œuvres libres[1] par l'utilisation d'internet ou d'autres formes de médias. Le mouvement de la culture libre puise sa philosophie de celle du logiciel libre en l'appliquant à la culture, dans des domaines aussi variés que l'art, l'éducation, la science, etc[2]. Les mécanismes juridiques des licences libres attachées à la culture sont également inspirés du logiciel libre ; l'utilisation des licences art libre ou Creative Commons a ainsi permis l'émergence de la musique libre et de l'art libre. La culture libre défend notamment l'idée que les droits d'auteurs ne doivent pas porter atteinte aux libertés fondamentales du public.

Tragedy of the commons Self-interests causing depletion of a shared resource The tragedy of the commons is a metaphoric label for a concept that is widely discussed, and criticised, in economics, ecology and other sciences. According to the concept, should a number of people enjoy unfettered access to a finite, valuable resource such as a pasture, they will tend to over-use it, and may end up destroying its value altogether. The metaphor is the title of a 1968 essay by ecologist Garrett Hardin. The principal concern of Hardin's essay was overpopulation of the planet. Some scholars have argued that over-exploitation of the common resource is by no means inevitable, since the individuals concerned may be able to achieve mutual restraint by consensus. Other criticisms have focused on Hardin's racist and eugenicist views, claiming that his arguments are directed towards forcible population control, particularly for people of colour.[3][4] Expositions[edit] Classical[edit] Lloyd's pamphlet[edit] System archetype[edit]
Creative Commons Organization creating copyright licenses for the public release of creative works Creative Commons (CC) is an American non-profit organization and international network devoted to educational access and expanding the range of creative works available for others to build upon legally and to share.[3] The organization has released several copyright licenses, known as Creative Commons licenses, free of charge to the public. These licenses allow authors of creative works to communicate which rights they reserve and which rights they waive for the benefit of recipients or other creators. An easy-to-understand one-page explanation of rights, with associated visual symbols, explains the specifics of each Creative Commons license. The organization was founded in 2001 by Lawrence Lessig, Hal Abelson, and Eric Eldred[4] with the support of Center for the Public Domain. In 2002, the Open Content Project, a 1998 precursor project by David A. Purpose and goal[edit] Creative Commons network[edit]

Ostrom lived in Bloomington, Indiana and served on the faculty of both Indiana University and Arizona State University. She held the rank of Distinguished Professor at Indiana University and was the Arthur F. Bentley Professor of Political Science and Co-Director of the Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis at Indiana University in Bloomington, as well as Research Professor and the Founding Director of the Center for the Study of Institutional Diversity at Arizona State University in Tempe.

Lawrence Lessig, l'ami des damnés du web Temps de lecture: 17 min À 56 ans, Lawrence Lessig a un CV plus long que le bras (littéralement) et accompli plus que certains ne pourraient le faire en dix vies. Universitaire, constitutionnaliste, figure de proue des défenseurs d'internet, il est une icône geek qui s'attaque aujourd'hui à la corruption et à la défense de réformes pour la démocratie, mais qui a aussi été candidat à la Maison-Blanche... La liste pourrait continuer ainsi pendant longtemps, mais l'ancien candidat à la primaire démocrate était à Paris, mi-avril. Le documentaire de Flore Vasseur est assez éloigné de celui de Laura Poitras, Citizenfour. Lawrence Lessig estime énormément Snowden. «Avant la conférence, j’ai lu tout ce que pouvais sur les décisions qui l’ont poussé à faire ce qu’il a fait. Lawrence Lessig a demandé en septembre dernier à ce qu'il soit grâcié, en raison de l'utilité publique des informations divulguées.

Private property Sign on a chain-link fence warning the public against trespassing on private property. Private property is a legal designation of the ownership of property by non-governmental legal entities.[1] Private property is distinguishable from public property, which is owned by a state entity; and collective property, which is owned by a group of non-governmental entities.[2] Private property is further distinguished from personal property, which refers to property for personal use and consumption. Categorization of collective property can be indeterminable, such as in a not-for-profit private university; or determinable, such as in the case of a legal partnership. History[edit] Prior to the 18th century, "property" was generally used in reference to land ownership.
