Web 2.0 and Intellectual property.

Intellectual property on Web 2.0
Web 2.0 can be related as collective intelligence. For example tihis blog, you and I can discuss and give feedback to eachother. O'Reilly woun't give an definition of Web 2.0, but the challange is how to get better the more people that use it.

 

Around year 2000 personal homespage were used. These days profilpages are used in Facebook, MSN, Twitter, blogs, wiki. Web 2.0 gives us the possibility of interaction on these pages, but also from an educational points of view, the Web 2.0 are giving us new aspects. We can use e-Learning, open access to institutional research, there are some preservations, Digital Preservation Coalition, that makes things safe.

Intellectual property (IP) covers a range of legal protections for creations of the human mind. IP have two category:
1) Industrial property- patent, trademark, idustrial pattern, geography indication to sources.      
2) Copyright- Literary and artistic works such as novels, poem, drama, movies, painting, design, photos, sculpture.
If we use intellectual property on Web 2.0, we have to make sure that we know the ethics rules about things.
Law of copyright for creations of the human minds from the Norwegian Department of Culture can you find here. As we can see in this law, we can retain the copyright for as long as we live, and 70 years after our dead. Norwegian law of patent. Do you want to see the symbol of copyright? Click here. And the symbol for trademark, click here.
A video that tells us about how copyrights protects our creation:

Those who make software, music, photos, design, movies etc. and doing it for a living, must get paid for it. We must be critical, and read the information that follows things we want on Web 2.0. An example can be: Microsoft Office. We can buy it, and give credit to those who have made it. We then get modernisation from Microsoft and that's important when it comes to security for our PC. We can also get a smaller part for free. The same goes for music. If we want to listen to music we need to buy it, and not download illegal from Internet. Therefor, we need to read the lisence, and we need do use ethics also on Web 2.0.
Intellectual property rights:
If you have made something that you want to preserve, you have some rights:
Paris-konvensjonen fra 1883 for patents, Trademartks, Industrial design. (Industrial property)
Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works
TRIPS- international agreement for Intellectual property rights.
Morten Magnusson gives us seven option for download free music here
So, there are atlternatives! Use your ethics and have a nice life in Web 2.0 :-)

INFORMATION PRIVACY

                  You’re your own publisher!
Facebook, a social media, primary intended for students at University of Harvard in 2004.These days it is expended to the whole World, and at Jan. 2011 there were more than 600 million active users at Facebook.At Facebook we can stay in contact with friends, family, college, former friends/students, all over the world.
What is Facebook? Take a look:


And here are some options how to category your friend, familiy etc.:


E-MOM Gloria Bianco tells us about her experience of social media.At Facebook we can all be a personal publisher of information for example with picture, text, video, games, interest, products, and sale of commercial products/games etc. We can find all sorts of informative things/groups on Facebook:We can create or take part of groups Tollfritt.org            
People’s engagement can result in chance
We managed to keep the "brunost" producer home in Skjåk!
When we join all these groups or person to person we need to be aware of the information of privacy we put on risk.


Do you think that nobody sees you? And remember what you've said and done when you publish online?Well, you’re wrong. Indeed the employed of Facebook does! If you look at a Facebook-profile for a 40 years old girl you’ll see that all the information on the right side on the page is related to this profiles age: things to buy, games, tests, friends, etc. If you look at a profile of a 20 years old girl, the stuff will be related to things that encourage 20 years old girls. That is not casualness!! And it is to remember when we are online and chare information!!!
Some can use their "printScm" (to the right of F12) and take photo of every pages they would like at Internett, and save it at their computer. So, if you think your picture are gone forever if you delete it, you'll may see it again!!
According to
Frank Johnsen (VG) it is a myth that we cannot delete our data from Facebook.
Some can
hack your accunt, and "see" you.
Media Awareness Network (MNet) is a web-side there teacher can get information of topics from Internet Safety, privacy, online marketing, cyberbullying, and evaluation of online information to bias and stereotyping and hateful content on the Internet. This can be good help for the young students. If you play the game "Farmville" or use any other apps at Facebook, the "Apps" can see you because you have given them permission to do that! Take a look what TV2 can find out about you! Richard Allan, "slettmeg.no" gives us the possibility to check out what the different apps know about you. "slettmeg.no" is a webpage, that gives us guidance if we feels insulting online.
Data Protection Directive, regulate threatment of privacy information in EU.
An issue today are Data Retention Directive  An EU-directive from 2006, that decree retention of data. All kinds og e-mail, phone call, text message send or received, will be retended for 24 months maximum time period. Only a court order can give information.
Ingvild is not been answered if her DNA are retention.
Thousands of Norwegian are retention in a illegal DNA-register.
The fifth of april Norway will decide if they accepting the Data Retention Directive from EU. And the answer is: YES. But there are protests! The last words is not said in this case! Read what "Folkets Info" says, and "stopp datalagringsdirektivet"
