Creative Commons Science: A no-brainer in a global world
For the last 8 years in America, we have been led by the ‘Ownership Society’ believers, which is a misnomer, because they like you to believe you have ownership, but ownership actually belongs in the hands of multi-national corporations. Here is a great video on opening up Science, and scientific information, to the global brain.
Problem is, the corporations have a vested interest in keeping things secret: their profits depend on their ability to beat someone else to the marketplace and claim ‘ownership’ of scientific information.
That thinking should be outlawed. All information should be common. Billions of humans, thinking. That’s where our future lies. In connecting those minds and taking ideas to fruition. Not hiding science information so one company can make profits.
