Copyright is not the right to copy.

Pirate Flag!

The Web is wonderful it’s full of all this content, all this information. It’s a copy writer or blogger’s dream. You just don’t have to do any work at all. It’s all laid out there for you, all you have to do is find it and take it.

Maybe just write a small introductory paragraph and then simply cut and paste the rest of the article you have found and publish. Easy!

Oh isn’t the web great. It allows such theft of someone else’s work. It’s fine to do isn’t it as the poor suckers put the information online so we could steal it… NO STOP IT!

Government 2.0

Cityscapes

It’s really an old chestnut this one others in the field like Laurel Papworth, Stephen Collins and Matthew Hodgson have all commented at length. However the other day I ran smack bang into the adoption of Web 2.0 (much how I hate the term) by government. It seems to be at least on the table still with various levels of Government within Australia.

Now I have some ties to government but not a great deal. I wouldn’t say that I’m infused in the Government culture, but I still feel that I can comment on a few issues relating to Government and its adoption of web 2.0 and its social networking aspects.
