 [SUMMARY]

Remix culture, also known as read-write culture, refers to a society that promotes and allows the creation of derivative works by combining or editing existing materials to produce new creative works or products. It encourages efforts to improve, change, integrate, or remix the works of creators and copyright holders, whether with or without their permission. However, the growth of strict copyright restrictions in recent decades has limited this practice due to legal constraints. In response to this, Lawrence Lessig, a Harvard law professor, founded Creative Commons in 2001, which provides licenses as tools to enable remix culture by offering alternatives to the default exclusive copyright regime that currently governs intellectual property. The remix domains are very wide, including folk and vocal music, graphic art, various social media, and religion. 

Lawrence Lessig explained the basic media culture of the 20th century by dividing it into "Read/Write culture" and "Read Only culture." In Read Only (RO) media culture, consumption is passive, with information and products provided by authoritative sources in a one-way flow from producers to consumers. Read/Write (RW) culture fosters a reciprocal relationship between producers and consumers.


[INTERESTING POINT]

It was very interesting that religion was included in the remix area. I also found that this culture is quite close to our daily lives. It was easy to understand because the basic media culture of the 20th century was divided into 'Read/write culture' and 'read only culture'.


[DISCUSSION]

Do you think efforts to protect copyright are being implemented well?

 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. Interesting As an AI language model, I do not have personal opinions, but I can identify some points that may be interesting to readers. One interesting point is how the author describes the culture and community of Wikipedia and how it has been shaped by authorial leadership. The idea of ...

  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?
