The Fight Between Sharing Culture And
Owning Culture
The Fight Between Sharing Culture And
Owning Culture
06/22/2005 02:17 AMIt seems that museums are finally starting to realize that the digital
age represents a real opportunity for them to
reach many new people by digitizing their
offerings and sharing the culture they represent across a much wider
audience than a physical museum allows. It seems that many museums
are having trouble figuring out how to digitize their collections, and
would welcome help in doing so. However, another story points out how
that can cause problems when the people involved get stuck on
intellectual property issues. Apparently some people who created 3D
digital versions of Michelangelo's David are freaking out that if
they share the digitization without some form of copy protection
people might (gasp!)
share it without permission. Wait a second... isn't
that what they should
want? That would allow them to share the
cultural wonder with many, many more people, and allow them to
experience it in ways never possible before. That's a
good
thing, not something to be worried about. However, in an age
where people seem to think that every idea, concept, software or piece
of data needs to be "owned" and locked up, apparently it's the natural
response -- and that's unfortunate for every culture.

reading even the most basic street signs and instructions in Chinese.
A new set of brain images shows why: Reading English-style alphabets
and Chinese characters use very different parts of the brain.

or for, but the attendees seem to be about 35 people from the
entertainment industry and a few miscellaneous others. The title of
the event is "Barbarians at the Gate." Here's a draft of what I plan
on saying during my 7 minute slot on the first panel of the morning.
Your comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated because I'm
feeling quite insecure about this: I'm a capitalist of sorts and a

Culture in a Perl
08/11/2002 12:20 PMBefore I got completely caught up in the Perl culture, I was happy
to do my own thing and not care what people thought of me. It was an
enjoyable time. I could do what I wanted and say what I wanted. But as
I got more and more involved, I realised that I was doing more things
just to get people's attentions and say "Look at Simon! Isn't he doing
clever stuff?". I felt less able to do things just for fun, or just
for me, and I felt completely unable to express any sort of
dissatisfaction with the way things were going in the Perl world. That
would make me an outcast, and I didn't want to be an outcast. Got to
fall into line. Don't criticise the popular people, or you'll be
unpopular.

1978, when all film is automatically (federally) copyrighted.

Now that the pool of CC-licensed music has grown, we had a great
deal of choices and as a result there are all sorts of songs in the
mix. I've been listening to these songs for months and it's hard to
pick favorites, they've all got some strengths. Don't miss the bonus remixes
too, the creativity there was amazing.

A new study published in the journal Science looked at
footnotes from scientific articles in three major journals (the New
England Journal of Medicine, Science, and Nature) at 3 months, 15
months and 27 months after publication, and found that the prevalence
of inactive Internet references grew during those intervals from 3.8%
to 10% to 13%. In another recent study, one-fifth of the Internet
addresses used in a Web-based high school science curriculum
disappeared over 12 months, and a third study found that 40% to 50% of
the URLs referenced in articles in two computing journals were
inaccessible within four years. Brewster Kahle, widely admired for his
creation of the Internet Archive project, says: "It's a huge problem.
The average lifespan of a Web page today is 100 days. This is no way
to run a culture."

a little bit of actual money into those things that we want to
continue.
