Blog Post Ideas
May 31st, 2007 by aizatto
I’ve had some ideas to blog about, but I am having trouble finding the effort to put my thoughts down into coherent post.
So I thought I’ll list them down and see if anyone wants to pick them up.
- Malaysia’s large disregard for intellectual property
- Treatment of Copyrighted work as if it were in the public domain
- The perception that Malaysians are content consumers and not creators
- The catch 22 in that Malaysians will trust foreign brands more than local ones (Not common to Malaysia)
- Perception that most Malaysian creators are of low quality (yes there is the success of Lat, but how many more are there?)
- Trust, and confidence in local brands
- The Internet leveling the playing field (I’ve been told to read “The World Is Flat“)
- The Internet and the commons
- The public domain and the commons
- Preservation of culture through the commons and the Internet
- ICT
foraccelerating/aiding Development - Transfer of technology and knowledge (think Free Culture), and bridging the digital/knowledge divide
- Persistence over the norms, over technical merit
- The wealthy nation problem
- Does Free Culture depend on a merit based culture/society?
- Building content creators
- Building a knowledge economy
I somehow think they can all be weaved together.
Starting with the current state of Malaysia’s disregard for Intellectual Property Rights, and going into how to improve that by building the trust, confidence, perception in Malaysian products by leveraging the free flow of information out there. But the biggest problem I forsee is that there will be persistence to stick with the norms as its easier to pay for it, especially in a wealthy nation. This raises the question of what does Free Culture depend upon a merit based culture?
Sounds like it would be a good series of articles to do though.
