Extremely helpful getting to the point for the assignment for this week. Also, the FAQ page includes a fantastic table for remixing works with different CC licenses(so helpful for guiding others on creating OER).

So entertaining! they now also have a graphic novel called "Theft: A History of Music" that traces the history of music borrowing at https://law.duke.edu/musiccomic/ from Plato to rap.

The US copyright office has a wealth of information in the form of these easy-to-read circulars. I referenced a few of these in my assignment for this Module.

Fascinating to read this Nobel Prize Winner's lifetime work on how a physical commons can be structured and maintained sustainably and equitably. Her 8 Principles can be applied to our discussions of successful practices for a commons in a global information society.

I know that Wikipedia can provide a quick overview on a topic; however, as a researcher/librarian, I would never suggest to students to add Wikipedia to a list of additional resources. Perhaps some of the referenced resources at the end of the entry might be a better choice.

In general, I would sort the resources related to the commons by "historical/physical" and "contemporary/philosophical". It was confusing to read an article such as this, as well as some of the others that follow that address the physical environment, cow enclosures, land ownership,etc. mixed in with our discussion of the commons as a philosophical concept, related to a more contemporary information society. Of course, I understood the connection from history to present day and it is an interesting and important one; however, I think a little ordering and some subheadings would lead the reader down the right path more seamlessly.

Very interesting to read about this Nobel Prize winner's lifetime work on how a physical commons can be governed sequitably in a community and how her 8 principles can be applied to the concept of a creative information commons!
