  The Impact Of Copyleft On An Individual Project According to Wikipedia, copylefting is the practice of granting the right to freely distribute and modify intellectual property with the requirement that the same rights be preserved in derivative works created from that property[1]. The most popular iteration or form of copylefting can be found in the shape of the GNU General Public license which was written personally by the legendary programmer and member of the American Free Software Movement Mr Richard Matthew Stallman[2]. He decided to take this course of action when a rival company requested him to share his work on a LISP compiler, however when Mr Stallman requested for the modified version of his compiler from the company the company refused and refrained from sharing the software. Mr Stallman had been victim to this form of injustice many times in the past but he stated that this was the turning point in him deciding to developing the GNU General Public License.[4] img u...

  Review Of The Case For Copyright Reform[1] Copyright law is the biggest pet peeve for any Youtuber who has taken YouTube seriously, or even aspiring musicians who completely transform the sounds that they sample. It is so bad that copyright claiming videos has been deemed a valid source of income for some ‘entrepreneurs’ who have dedicated bots scrambling around YouTube to find any form of copyrighted content no matter the context or situation the copyrighted content was used in, that is that there was no regard for the intent behind the usage or whether the footage/ sound byte even has any relevance to the content at hand. The situation has become so toxic that creators get copyright claimed just for saying the words of the song with no music or even humming the tune silently would be grounds enough for the bots to determine that you violated copyright law. This is all even though the Fair Use law states that it is the intent of the creator and the quantity used, that it is no...

  Review Of The “2004 Information Society report to the Parliament of Finland by Pekka Himanen”[1] img url:    https://im.mtv.fi/image/1236494/landscape16_9/555/313/de642b7bc85ca07e1d32cc436721a75/xX/808558.jpg According to my searches on Wikipedia[2], Pekka Himanen is a Finnish philosopher. He studied philosophy at the University of Helsinki. I must admit that this pdf was an extremely interesting read and I admire the brilliance of Dr Pekka Himanen. It is absolutely stunning the problems that he brings up in this document and to take the time to draft such a document to submit to the parliament is honourable, Dr Himanen has earned my utmost respect and reading the document is enough to understand that why Dr Himanen is the youngest person in Finland to ever receive a doctorate degree at the tender age of 21. “The future of welfare society is in creativity” Dr Himanen talks about what he thinks the future holds for Finland, a country that follows the European model...

  Web Based Social Networks Wikipedia defines a social network as social structure made up of a set of a social actors (such as individuals or organisations), sets of dyadic ties and other social interactions between actors[1]. In essence, a social network is a reflection of the patterns of relationship among people, a congregation of like minded people coming together to speak their minds. Despite these definitions seeming very complex, like something that would just have theoretical implications, I feel like web based social networks have changed the course of humanity and the way people have fundamentally started expressing themselves. It is a huge blessing to humanity or maybe perhaps a curse given to a primitive being who’s primal minds cannot evolve quickly enough to keep up with the technology we create, whether we ever find out or not, it has completely changed what it is to be human and to express. img url: https://image.pngaaa.com/249/112249-middle.png In my opinion, ...
