 1. Summary

The remix culture is a term that describes the practice of recombining existing media to create new works, encompassing everything from music to literature, and is fueled by technology. Although the concept of remix has a long history, remix culture has become widespread primarily after the advent of digital technology and the internet. One of the key features of remix culture is that it blurs the boundaries between creators and consumers. Anyone can become a creator by reworking existing media, which could lead to the democratization of culture, but at the same time, it has sparked debates over intellectual property rights and copyright laws. Advocates of remix culture argue that remixing is also a form of creation, while opponents claim that remixing is a copyright infringement and causes harm to the original copyright holders. Despite such controversies, remix culture is thriving, and social media has accelerated individual participation in remixing. Overall, remix culture refers to innovative forms of creative expression that challenge traditional concepts of authorship and ownership.

2. Interesting

It is interesting to note that remix culture is part of a very old human culture, not the development of the Internet and digital technology.

3. Discussion

What's your opinion on remix culture? Is it a kind of creative act? Is it an act that violates the interests of existing copyright holders?

 1. Summary The article argues that understanding Wikipedia requires appreciating its community and collaborative culture, but also recognizing the challenges it faces from personal differences and external threats. Despite its collaborative nature, Wikipedia has been shaped by authorial leadership, with an informal benevolent dictator guiding the community and mediating disputes. However, this leadership role can be challenging to balance, as new responsibilities and authority may arise. The article uses examples, such as Sanger's reflections on his departure from the community and discussions about Wales's role, to illustrate the delicate balance of leadership in the Wikipedia community. 2.

  1. Summary After reading this article, I understand that Wikipedia articles must have reliable sources, and the opinions in the sources should be neutral. Articles should be based on reliable, independent, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. This means that we publish only the analysis, views, and opinions of reliable authors, and not those of Wikipedians who have read and interpreted primary source material for themselves. 2. Interesting points News headlines—including subheadlines—are not a reliable source.  I think this is important because some news headlines are written to grab the reader's attention quickly and briefly; their news content may be exaggerated or lack context, and even sometimes contain sensational claims. 3. Discussion points Do you know how to test reliable sources?
