Incidentally, I believe that in our “American-European Culture” (the term is used in the sense as by Edward T. Hall in his book “The dance of life”) the issue of “copyright” has been handled poorly – both socially and legally. In fact, perhaps an unspeakable mistake has been made.
Here is a comment worth watching on this from the TED world. It was found by Dr. Edwin Ederle – thank you, Edwin!
The following question(s) come to mind:
How much and what knowledge can belong to a single person? When are you obliged to share it, so that it belongs to the public? Because thinking in terms of Commons (common land, common property) will probably be relevant if not necessary if we want to solve the problems we face in the 21st century (and later).
I had hardly handed the link with this video on, and already the first comment by Thomas Mathoi in the subject came back. He recommends the free e-book #Incommunicado by @michelreimon (Michel Reimon) as an additional inspiration on the theme of copyright.
After having read the first few pages, I think #Incommunicado is a novel well worth reading and thinking about.
🙂 And on top of this, it looks like a very exciting “book” to me. I already downloaded it onto my kindle.
