Week 11

This week focussed on Electronic Civil Liberties / Creative Commons / Free and Open Source Software

We spoke about some of the cases that the Electronic Frontier Foundation are currently defending. This includes the NSA/AT&T alleged spying case, where the government allegedly wiretapped the internet communications going through San Francisco.

We also discussed the Concept "Creative Commons" this is an alternative way to license content to put out onto the internet to share with other people. The creative commons scheme challenges regular copyright, by allowing the creator to specific the conditions of use of their work. This frees up content for remixing and reuse...

Again there was no tutorial tasks as this time was used to complete and update blogs.
