MAIN READINGS

McLuhan, Marshall and Quentin Fiore. The Medium is the Massage. New York: Random House, 1967.
   [Selections TK in the Materials Section of Jim Cocola's MDST 322 Collage and New Media, Spring 2004]

We'll also be looking closely at the Wikipedia and the Wiktionary, which rely on the Wiki as a means of generating knowledge. Such an approach has a number of crucial ramifications. Among the keywords we'll be discussing are Fair Use, Kelly v. Arriba Soft Corporation (1999, 2003), GNU, Linus Torvalds, and Open Source. Feel free to add other keywords that appear relevant.

Finally, be sure to take a look at Creative Commons, where one can apply for a hybrid copyleft-copyright license. Take a look at the myriad of license options, perusing both the human-readable texts and the legal codes for each variation.
