Document Summary

Lecture 9: cultural ownership, copyright, and intellectual property. One of the most difficult words in the english language to define because it"s so broad and vast. Essentially the sum of all ideas that define a group or society. The way of life of a people, nation, community, or social group. The shared values of a group of society. What we hold in common with each other: ideas, images, ways of communicating, understanding the world, because we hold things in common no one person/group is supposed to own it. Culture is public, or shared; it doesn"t belong to any one person or group. Changes in forms of legal protection for production; privately owned by different individuals or groups (corporations) If you produce culture (e. g. art) you deserve certain rights to what you produce. Public: fair use, public sphere, culture is common. Creator: protect their work, earn rewards for creation, protect their reputation.
