How might P2PU do without copyright?
,----[ Quote ]
| The Peer to Peer University is discussing
| copyright at the moment, and have invited
| comment from people who have something to

| pagers" to bring into their meeting for
| consideration and debate within the P2PU
| team.

A Call for Copyright Rebellion
,----[ Quote ]
| The manner in which copyright law is being
| applied to academe in the digital age is
| destructive to the advancement of human
| knowledge and culture, and higher education
| is doing nothing about it.
|
| That is what Lawrence Lessig, the Harvard
| University law professor and renowned open-
| access advocate, told a theater of higher
| ed technologists Thursday at the 2009
| Educause Conference here. In his talk,
| Lessig described how digital and Web
| technology has exploded the conditions
| under which copyright law had been written.
|
| âIf copyright law, at its core, regulates
| something called âcopies,â then in the
| analog worldâ many uses of culture were
| copyright-free,â he explained. âThey didnât
| trigger copyright law, because no copy was
| made. But in the digital world, very few
| uses are copyright-free because in the
| digital world â all uses produce a copy.â

AntWeb, Fedora Project, Wikitravel â CC BY-SA 3.0
,----[ Quote ]
| The Fedora Project, best known for its
| community-centric and cutting-edge
| GNU/Linux distribution, but also committed
| to âleading the advancement of free, open
| software and contentâ (emphasis added, from
| the Fedora Project home page), has migrated
| all of its documentation and wiki content
| to CC BY-SA from the long-deprecated Open
| Publication License, via their contributor
| agreement. Among the reasons:
|
| 4. Other organizations that have
| content we can reuse in Fedora and
| contribute back to, such as Wikipedia
| and GNOME, have switched or are
| switching to the CC BY SA. Why does
| this matter? For one easy example, we
| can write a definitive history of
| Fedora, host it on Wikipedia as the
| upstream, then package it as part of
| the âabout-fedoraâ package.
