2. Interesting point

The Mickey Mouse Protection Act, a law passed by the US Congress in 1998, amended US copyright law to extend the term of copyright protection. Specifically, the law extended copyright protection by 20 years, allowing copyright holders to enjoy up to 70 years of copyright protection.
The Mickey Mouse Protection Act was actively supported by entertainment industry giants such as The Walt Disney Company, which own many copyrighted works, including the Mickey Mouse characters owned by Disney. These companies believe that the short duration of copyright protection would limit their commercial interests, so they have actively lobbied Congress to change the copyright law to extend the duration of copyright protection.

 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?
