Richard Stallman: Copyright vs. Community

推荐理由

RMS has historically viewed copyright as a bad thing[1], all the way from how it has developed historically to how it is applied uniformly to different kinds of works (practical works like software being copyrighted is of particular concern). Now, you might say that "the GPL uses copyright, which clearly means that RMS and the FSF are pro-copyright". They're not. Copyleft is a hack of the copyright system[2], specifically designed such that as copyright becomes stronger so does the amount of freedom provided by copyleft. This is explicitly the purpose. If it were not legal to stop users from modifying software, then the GPL would not need to exist (nor could it). RMS has stated[3] that his views on an ideal copyright system is: 1. Authors retain copyright, not publishers. This matches the original copyright law that was created in England under Queen Mary in The Statute of Anne (1710)[4]. 2. The scope of works covered would be reduced. Most importantly, practical works would not be covered under copyright. 3. The length of time that copyright applies to a work would be massively reduced. Works are being created today that children born today will never see in the public domain. The solution is to reduce the length of time that copyright applies to 10 years (or possibly 5, which some authors appear to prefer). 4. The breadth of restrictions would be reduced. Most notably, distribution of a work would no longer require permission from the owner. The argument for this change req

说明

这是2013年由RU Computer Science发布的一部课堂讲座,主题归在Hacker culture & free software。它讲的是copyright and free culture这一支里的具体问题,而不是把整个领域扫一遍。适合按兴趣直接看、不打算先补课的人。内容上可以概括成:A 2012 lecture by Richard Stallman at Reykjavik University arguing that copyright, built for the printing press, fits poorly with computer networks. He criticizes draconian enforcement and corporate lobbying.这些读者给出的理由,核心是:Linked as a source for Stallman's views on copyright and skepticism of intellectual property law.讲法不绑某一条新闻,过几年仍然可以当材料看。从2017年到2024年,有0位不同的读者在0个不同月份把它推荐出来,其中明确叫别人去看的有0次。节奏接近上课,可以暂停做笔记。它假设你愿意跟着一条推导走完。如果已经会了基本定义,就把注意力放在它怎么把copyright and free culture变成能跟着复述的例子。
