Problems
• Practical – InMediaHK
• Philosophical – What is the Commons?
InMediaHK
Philosophical – What is the Commons?
• Compatibility between Licences - Commons without Commonality
• Problems highlighted in Wikipedia
• Resolution
Conclusion
• The current copyright system– Over-developed and Complicated– Probably biased towards the
Establishment
• Creative Commons – Simplify the System– Encourage the Respect of Copyright– Encourage Creativity
