Summary

It is a global nonprofit organization that can share and reuse creativity and knowledge by providing free legal tools. They help people who want to reuse their work. Share the reproduction of work and legally help ensure reproduction. In other words, it can be said to be a knowledge-sharing organization. They provide a license called CC. They do more than provide copyright licenses. It guarantees works legally and technically and has a profound impact on the distribution of works through the media. There is criticism that it violates copyright, but CC does not infringe copyright. Rather, CC is a type of copyright qualification, and those who want to use and distribute their own works to the public are helped by CC. Wikipedia also has a WC of the same nature as CC. This is a non-profit volunteer like Wikipedia. They are providers of content, acceptors, and can distribute their own creations that do not violate copyrights, and can use them at no cost. Unlike CC, WC is not a type of copyright qualification, and ownership disappears upon distribution.

Interesting point

What does the emergence of CC and WC mean to our society? I think that with the development of society and technology, socialist ideology is bound to enter in the end. As many theorists have argued, development and socialism seem to exist on the same line (except in some cases), and I think there will be an organization of similar character, starting with the emergence of CC and WC.

Question

What kind of future will emerge if more organizations with similar personalities as CC and WC appear?

WK 5.2 The Benevolent Dictator - Hanane Ben Abdeslam

In the reading it starts with the example of a “Neo-Nazi” dictator, it didn’t say when it exactly happened but I think it was during World War I and II. This dictator just did what he wanted to do, locking articles down, ban people, and protecting their own reputation and integrity. Actually, for someone to have that much power by a community founder is not unique to Wikipedia. Such leaders are often found in a project around, which a community develops, or otherwise emerge from a leaderless context by way of merit. However, Wikipedia is not an anarchy, democracy, nor a monarchy. Because of the voluntary and meritocratic character of open content communities it is not surprising that leaders are expected to lead by example as their very leadership is founded upon exemplary behavior. This means that leadership emerges through action rather than appointment. The prominent leader of an open content community is sometimes characterizing as a benevolent dictator. This is a variation on a t...

W2. What is Wikipedia - Seungju Lee

Summary Wikipedia is a multilingual online encyclopedia as an collaboration project. It isn't made by one people. Anyone can write and share information. It is maintained by non profit organizations. It is the largest and most popular  general reference work on the World Wide Web, and is one of the 20 most popular websites. Diverse information can be found in encyclopedia. Interesting point Wikipedia is made by group. All people in group can share their own information. Not only expert, but also anyone who have interest in topic, they can participate in make dictionary. I had a negative opinion about this in past, because this can affect on accuracy of information. But, after I realized that  this is "collaboration" project, many people can give a feedback to writers who post wrong information. So I could change my mind that that kind of feedback make good circulation on advance of wikipedia. And also it is collaboration project,  so I think variety of informat...

W2. What is Wikipedia? / Juhee Cha

After reading http://reagle.org/joseph/2010/gfc/foreward.html http://reagle.org/joseph/2010/gfc/preface-web.html http://reagle.org/joseph/2010/gfc/preface.html *Summary Wikipedia is a collaborative community that can freely and voluntarily make changes to the world. empower people to a wide The people who share knowledge here are not for the sake of money but for the people who love knowledge sharing itself. The data that you normally seek for knowledge is limited. These materials are difficult to produce and logically technical. But Wikipedia makes those processes simple. Wikipedia goes through the process of discussing drafts, sending comments, pointing out what is missing, and presenting ideas. *Interesting Point There was also definitely a negative perception of the Internet dictionary before taking the class. The biggest reason for this was that the public, not the 'experts', could modify it. But rather, after learning about Wikipedia's principles, I changed m...
