Free Culture
- Free culture promotes the freedom to distribute and modify creative works without compensation to or consent of the original creators.
- The movement objects to over-restrictive copyright laws, which are seen as hindering creativity and promoting a "permission culture".
- Open Licensing: Free culture relies on licenses like Creative Commons, which allow creators to specify the extent of freedoms they grant to users.
- Example: Wikipedia operates under a Creative Commons license, allowing anyone to use, edit, and redistribute its content.
- Open Source Software: Making the source code of software freely available, allowing anyone to study, modify, and distribute it.
- Remix Culture: Encouraging the creation of new works by remixing or combining existing ones, fostering creativity and cultural exchange.
- Example: Creative projects on platforms like YouTube, where content creators remix music, videos, or other media to create new and transformative works.
- Public Domain Initiatives: Works whose copyrights have expired or are deliberately placed in the public domain for unrestricted use by anyone.
- Example: Project Gutenberg offers a vast collection of public domain books available for free download and use.
