Creative Commons seems like quite a fine middle ground, and while this is the second time we've talked about it in library school, I haven't seen it out there in the real world all that much. I didn't see any stats on their site, but I'm wondering if they keep that sort of record. I think Lessig made a great point when it came to sampling when he talked about how it was perfectly normal to include bits of other authors words when making a point in writing, but the same phenomenon in film and music is infringement. Certainly the medium of idea delivery is different, but the basic idea remains the same. It's long been the standard that individuals use other individuals words, images, and ideas to express themselves. Last week Mel used lyrics from Puff Daddy to title her blog post, and I used a line from Star Wars (I think this means I'm winning on cool points), hopefully this enriched our posts in some way, but now we're in danger of George and P.Diddy coming down on us.

Would you use it again or in the future, if you haven't before?Sarah.

I liked the point that Creative Commons not much originality exists anymore nor is something original ever created as often. So why not stand on the shoulders of our peers to create something beneficial, wonderful and enjoyable if it's all subconsciously related anyway. Unfortunately we don't live in a utopia where we all strive for the betterment of mankind. We strive to succeed in a monetary way and wish to be recognized for our hard work. Therefore I like sites like Wikipedia Commons and CC because they are creating new ideas and improving creativity through legal means and with others who share the same ideals -- and sharing the recognition!Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08402678236374981190noreply@blogger.com
