Dear free culture and free software activists, how would you define the free culture movement in as few words as possible? !lp !sfc !gnu !cc

...in a way that successfully covers free cultural works, free software, privacy, anonymity and other issues free culture is concerned with?

@dpic do you know the "famous" sentence: "Human knowledge belongs to the world"? I think that's a nice summary :D
-
@dpic "Free as in Freedom" ;)
-
@dpic The "free culture movement" is a lame name for the intellectual freedom movement.
-
@dpic The movement to allow you to do what you want with what you own, within reason.
-
@dpic lots of people have lots of different definitions, but that seems to be the lowest common denominator :P
-
@tekk But you could already do that-- it's about the things that you don't own, right?

@mlinksva Doesn't that leave out issues of privacy/anonymity which is something the movement is concerned with?

@zykotick9 That's not a meaningful definition, just a way to clarify the word "free"

@dpic no, you can't. under normal copyright remix is illegal, sharing is illegal, the free culture movement considers them essential freedom
-
@dpic are you kidding me? privacy and anonymity are crucial for intellectual freedom!
-
@tekk it's illegal for things you don't "own", but if you are the owner, then you absolutely can.

@mlinksva Aha, fair enough!

@dpic ah, that's the problem. we're using different terms. by own I mean when I, say, buy a song, by own YOU mean owns the ©
-
@tekk but if you believe a copy of a song can be bought and owned, then the seller must be the "owner" in this sense.

@johnnynull I think it does! "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression"

@dpic yes it is, and that ownership is transferred to you after the transaction.
-
@dpic it's quite simple. artist agrees to sell their song to store or person, who then owns that copy of the song
-
@dpic but not ALL copies of that song. good analogy is that if you buy peanut butter at a store, you do not automatically own all pb

Hm… :) ♻ @mlinksva: @dpic The "free culture movement" is a lame name for the intellectual freedom movement.

@dpic "awesome" :)

@mlinksva @asheeshlaroia sez on IRC: "It's not the "intellectual freedom" movement, it's the self-expressive freedom movement..."

"… Accepting ourselves as dripping in the culture -- ideas, creative content, who knows what -- of our surroundings. …"

"…notion that we are 'free' to self-express in terms of ourselves, even if those parts of ourselves are ostensibly owned by other people."

@johnnynull That's not part of the article. Those are links to other freedoms...

@tmp That's a description, not a definition!
Kẏra likes this. -
@cwebber @asheeshlaroia sounds a bit narcissistic and limiting. self-expression freedom doesn't immediately convey dripping in culture to me
-
@dpic a fun way to define it: the battle for control of our own minds; as proprietary software/knowledge/culture equals mind control !fnord

@dpic #FreeSoftware is the very definition of "awesome" :D
-
@tmp I'd like to see you say "free software" instead of "awesome" from now on

@dpic Sounds #FreeSoftware . I accept your challenge!

@tmp Free software! I'm excited [=

Human culture will be lost if it cannot be shared. #freeculturemovement
