Technologies change how we interact with (digital) cultural objects.
We are no longer merely a consumer; we can also be a producer.

In Our Digital World, It Is Easier to Borrow, Copy,
Manipulate

This means it is technically easier to express ourselves in new, creative ways.

The Clash
Culture as a freely flowing current of ideas and practices runs head first into culture as intellectual property

Framing
• A 10-minute explanation of copyright … using words from one of the largest (and most aggressive) copyright owners in the world
![Page 12: Copyright and Ethics In Digital Age](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061121/546f6de8af795945698b4861/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Terms: Copyright
• Copyright law protects “creative and expressive works”
• Automatic (do not have to file, register)
• Scope: http://copyright.gov/
• Does not extend to ideas or facts

How Long Does It Last?
In 1709, copyright lasted 14 years
Since 1978 copyright lasts for either the life of the author + 70 years or, in the case of work-for-hire, 95 years from publication or
125 years from creation

Controversy
Copyright purpose is to
“promote the progress of science and the useful arts” … and the duration for exclusivity is to
be “limited” … - US Constitution
![Page 15: Copyright and Ethics In Digital Age](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061121/546f6de8af795945698b4861/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Terms: Public Domain
When the copyright term expires, works revert to public domain.
The copyright holder may dedicate works to the public domain; eg, works funded by the US Government.
PD works are freely available for use by anyone for anything.

Digital technologies enable a "Tinkering
culture" -- a "read write rip burn culture"
