Free Culture

2009-07-01T22:08:00.000-07:00

Lawrence Lessig could be called a cultural environmentalist. One of America’s most original and influential public intellectuals, his focus is the social dimension of creativity: how creative work builds on the past and how society encourages or inhibits that building with laws and technologies. In his two previous books, CODE and THE FUTURE OF IDEAS, Lessig concentrated on the destruction of much of the original promise of the Internet. Now, in FREE CULTURE, he widens his focus to consider the diminishment of the larger public domain of ideas. In this powerful wake-up call he shows how short-sighted interests blind to the long-term damage they’re inflicting are poisoning the ecosystem that fosters innovation.

All creative works—books, movies, records, software, and so on—are a compromise between what can be imagined and what is possible—technologically and legally. For more than two hundred years, laws in America have sought a balance between rewarding creativity and allowing the borrowing from which new creativity springs. The original term of copyright set by the First Congress in 1790 was 14 years, renewable once. Now it is closer to two hundred. Thomas Jefferson considered protecting the public against overly long monopolies on creative works an essential government role. What did he know that we’ve forgotten?

Lawrence Lessig shows us that while new technologies always lead to new laws, never before have the big cultural monopolists used the fear created by new technologies, specifically the Internet, to shrink the public domain of ideas, even as the same corporations use the same technologies to control more and more what we can and can’t do with culture. As more and more culture becomes digitized, more and more becomes controllable, even as laws are being toughened at the behest of the big media groups. What’s at stake is our freedom—freedom to create, freedom to build, and ultimately, freedom to imagine.

FLOSS Is Not Just Good For Teeth

2009-07-01T22:07:00.001-07:00

FLOSS is not just good for teeth

Free, Libre and Open Source Explained (finally) in Simple English!

"Why do they call it 'FLOSS' when it doesn't clean your teeth?"

Are you a non-nerd, a human being who happens to use computers without living inside them? Does that make you curious to find out what the buzz regarding open source and free software is all about? What's in it for you? Does it work? Is it fun and easy to use? How is it made and who makes it? And how 'free' or 'open' is it, really? Have you looked long and hard for answers to questions like these in plain English? If that's the case, 'FLOSS is not just good for teeth' could be just what you are looking for.

Impress your techie buddies with the fact that you care for your kernel, and open yourself to a whole new world of concepts that offer challenging and exciting ideas about creativity, collaboration and coding. 'Floss' geeks, make yourselves understood to other human beings - download and distribute 'FLOSS is not just good for teeth' to friends, family and colleagues, so they can finally know and appreciate what keeps you awake while they sleep.

'FLOSS is not just good for teeth' is a collaboratively produced introduction to the concepts that underlie free and open source software, written specially for the non-technical reader, at the Sarai Programme (www.sarai.net) of the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies, Delhi.

I like the idea of Linux because you can download this system on a flash, then use it without having to install it on the computers at school. Our programmer has set up our computers where you cannot download anything without the administrator's key.

Is this communication handled by appletalk?

Open Source rests upon principles... basic human principles of openness
"Free software is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of free as in free speech, not as in free beer."
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html
The freedom to copy, the freedom to use, the freedom to modify, and the freedom to share.

Just to confuse things:
the idea of open-source beer has been around since the 1990's as a joke: http://humorix.org/articles/1998/08/beer/

What do you think of when you hear the word hacker? creative problem solver; interesting solution 4 a problem; an artist;

Artists and Hackers are similar they creat things with a differnet perspective.
Artists as Hackers
Artistic Hackers
Hacker Artists

Huh?

Both hackers and artists are creative problem solvers.

work 20 and 80 rule means use your right side and left side of the brain to solve problems. (work less (20% and get the job done).

Contemporary Cyber-Media (if that's even a term) is similar to the Open Source ethos.

Open Source rests upon principles... basic human priciples of openness
"Free software is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of free as in free speech, not as in free beer."
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html
The freedom to copy, the freedom to use, the freedom to modify, and the freedom to share.

Just to confuse things:

The Danish Hacker/Artist Krew SuperFlex did it for real:
