Hey everyone, I had a bit of an interesting idea recently. We should have our own Libre Culture Lemmy Book and/or Film Club! The rules are quite simple.
Any content we choose to discuss must be either in the public domain or must have a license that’s approved for free cultural works.
Every three months, we vote on a new film or novel to read, or a collection of short stories that are about the length of a novel combined. Other media could be allowed as well. Downvoting suggestions isn’t allowed, unless the suggested content is inappropriate.
I can’t wait to see how this’ll go! Please let me know what you guys think of this idea, and let’s begin voting in this comment section what we’d like to watch/read in March!
Haha to be frank, I’ve never seen this anywhere either. The idea just sort of formed one day. I posted the full story here.
If you’re having trouble thinking which genres are appropriate, don’t worry about it. All genres are welcome, all that matters is the copyright license.
I also had a bit of trouble finding which license Cipherpunks is under. I looked towards The Internet Archive, and while there seemed to be a full copy of the book on there, the book states at the beginning that all rights are reserved, so while I consider the book to be relevant to the ideas of free culture, It’s not licensed under a free culture license.
yep, I didn’t notice this, but still it’s an interesting book to read…
Haha I might give it a read sometime.
