W4-2. Free Culture Movement / Kim Seon Woo


Summary 

 The Free Culture Movement is a social movement that promotes freedom to distribute and modify creative works as free content using the Internet and other media. This movement is against excessive copyright law. Many who participate in this movement claim that some restrictive copyright laws hinder creative action and call this system 'permission culture’.

The leading organization, that is, one that is related to free culture, is Creative Commons, founded by Lawrence Lesik. Lawrence Lessik is a professor at Harvard University School of Law and has an important position in the free software movement. In the early days of Creative Commons, it was supported by the Free Software Foundation's founder, Richard Stallman, and the Free Software Movement.

Interesting Point. 

 I was impressed that I was against excessive copyright law. Copyright in Korea and around the world is a very sensitive matter directly related to money, and it is impressive that there is an opposition to this. 

 Discussion 

 Is software provided by open source such as Google's Android an example of a free culture movement?

However, upon encountering the MDGs, I learned that the international community is making great efforts to ensure human rights. Among the MDG criticisms, criticism of women's inequality was interesting. The phenomenon of female ineq...

What is meant by that? / Lee hayoung

Q. Society is not determined by technology, nor is technology determined by society. Both emerge as two sides of the sociotechnical coin. What is meant by that? A. So to begin with, I think that society and technology are the relationships that influence each other, the concepts that one cannot include or dominate. There is technology in society, and technology exists because there is society. I think it's an inseparable relationship, so I think it can be expressed in both sides of a coin.

Summary Human rights are the basic right to live as a person. This is an absolute domain. Applicable regardless of ethnicity, gender, age, or location and guaranteed by international law. Human rights have been modified and established over a long period of time.
