Talk:Free Culture (book)

message: It's interesting that when it was released in paperback, its subtitle was changed to "The Nature and Future of Creativity"; I wonder what caused the title to become less inflammatory... Julyo 00:28, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

message: Are we allowed to put this book up on Wikisource? I'm assuming, yes, we definitely are. But I'm going to ask anyway, aren't I. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.100.11.130 (talk) 23:18, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The book was released under a Creative Commons license, which suggests that you could do this legally.  However, it is freely downloadable from other web sites, so I do not see a need. DavidMCEddy (talk) 04:35, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

message: :: Summaries - continued. (By the way, if the links don't work, we need to find a way for Chrissy to see the full text. Is there a wikipedia-kosher way to do that somewhere?)I just noticed we were not assigned all the chapters. So as a super short summary, I will list the chapters by motivations and date.
*Intro _ Laura Nov. 30
*Chpt 1 -"Creators" Ria Nov 30
*Chpt 4 "Pirates" - Jacob Nov 29
*Chpt 5 - "Piracy" - Wioleta Nov 30
*Chpt 10 - "Property" Kiran Nov 30
*Conclusion/Afterward - Maria Nov. 30
*Critiques - Guest speaker  Nov. 25
If we are volunteering for things, I am happy to do the conclusions and critiques. Hope this post helps. --Meilingaddress (talk) 04:25, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for posting this, Meiling. If we are going to select chapters, I can take the Intro and Chapter 1 for now. --Laura (talk) 18:54, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Are we still going in this direction? Left you guys a message, and hope that we get together to map our strategy very soon. Signing on for Chaps 4+5. Chisholmredproject (talk) 04:02, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Hey I'll take chapter 10 because that is what's left on the list, and I have access to the blog now fyi.  Chrissy9876 (talk) 15:13, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, so sounds like we have divided the chaps. Also, were we going to meet in the sandbox?? Chisholmredproject (talk) 00:00, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: On 2019-10-02T17:07:38‎, User:Finnusertop change the title of this article from "Free Culture (book)" to "Free Culture: How Big Media Uses Technology and the Law to Lock Down Culture and Control Creativity".  On 2019-10-23T00:15:36‎ User:Þjarkur reverted this change.  Both cited WP:SUBTITLE to justify their actions.  That link begins, 'Like all articles, books (and other media, such as films and video games) that have a subtitle should use the work's commonly used name (following WP:COMMONNAME). For books with verbose subtitles, this often means using a concise form in preference to a full "official" name'.  
I agree with User:Þjarkur in this case.  I hope no one else tries to revert to the 17-word version of the title over the 2-word version.  There is now a redirect of the longer version of the title for those who prefer to type all 99 characters;-)  DavidMCEddy (talk) 04:20, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  name change and reversion 

message: These three sections contain rehashes of each other and the text (as well as numerous quotes, inconsistent style, a plethora of typos, US-centered language, and so on). I propose combining them into one less exhaustive section, perhaps starting with a list of themes and concepts it discusses and then a brief summary of the book itself.
