Explore http://ds106.us/.  Write a post of less than 500 words exploring the approach members of the ds106 community take to questions of intellectual property, fair use, and network ethics. How does this community understand the “Commons”?

As part of this assignment, you are encouraged to ask a question on Twitter of some central members of the ds106 community:

  • Ask @jimgroom questions you have about the philosophy behind ds106.
  • Ask @cogdog questions about community-forming and modes of interaction.
  • Ask @mburtis questions about the assignment bank and building the architecture of ds106.
  • Ask @mbransons questions about the (re)use of media in the course.

To ask them on Twitter, just include their twitter handle (for example, @jimgroom) in your tweet. And be sure to tag your question with the #baruchdh hashtag!

This is just some data mining from the reading: ”THE the Professor Who Fooled Wikipedia Got Caught by Reddit”

There are always bad guys and thus vandalism happens everywhere.. esp on the web because its where it is most likely to be seen

Vandalism is done to influence people so a great place for that would be the WWW.

That’s why Wikipedia is hard to rely on because its edited by whomever desires too and among us people, unfortently there are bad guys, all you have to do is hope they either disappear (unlikely to happen) or won’t come
