Copyright Discussion

Creative Commons is a non-profit organization headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States devoted to expanding the range of creative works available for others to build upon legally and to share.(Wiki) The organization has released several copyright-licenses known as Creative Commons licenses for free to the public. These licenses allow creators to communicate which rights they reserve, and which rights they waive for the benefit of recipients or other creators. I think it's very important to have Creative Commons because this is a way for public domain to be protected. I also like the fact that they are urging the government to be proactive in the information age. They also focus on the protection of intellectual property.

I also think it is important for the government to regulate material online for our protection. I think they haven't done a good job up to this point because things are still very rampant on the internet which kids can get their eyes on. I like the fact that people such as hackers who lurk the internet looking for way to rip people off and steal their identity.

The most important thing in the lesson I learned was the indecency and obscenity it is very important to protect the children from things the community finds indecent.
