Open Source Blogging

Terinspirasi dari CreativeCommons.org, dan berbagai situs/blog seperti promiseofreason.com, junta42.com, ZenHabits.net dan blog yang bertipe open source blogging, akhirnya saya pun ikut memutuskan sejak awal untuk membuat blog ini menjadi open source blog/uncopyright blog (padahal jarang nulis diblog :p ). yang berarti siapa saja boleh meng-kopas, menulis ulang(Use it however you want!), semua artikel tanpa harus meminta ijin terlebih dahulu kepada saya.

Walaupun begitu saya sangat menghargai, jika anda memberi keterangan sumber jika anda menggunakan artikel saya, idealnya jika anda ingin mengkopas untuk di blog anda setidaknya memberi link balik ke situs saya, walaupun itu bukan suatu kewajiban bagi anda (nice, but not required ).

uncopyright blog / open source blog tentu saja ada konsekuensinya, berikut beberapa hal yang mungkin terjadi dengan open source blog , langsung saya copas dari blog open source blog lain (masih bhs inggris males translatenya )

1. Google rank will go down. My understanding is that Google penalizes pages that have exact duplicates on other sites, when it comes to PageRank. I don’t know how much of a penalty that is. If people duplicate my content (which they already are, even without permission), it’s possible that my PageRank will drop and people will have a harder time finding my content on Google search. If that’s the case, I accept that penalty. I’ve never been one to go for SEO techniques anyway, so this is nothing new to me.

2. Who knows what people will do with your work? Someone could take my work, turn it into a piece of … baloney … and put my name on it. They could translate it with all kinds of errors. They could … well, they could do just about anything. But that kind of thinking stems from a mind that wants to control content … while I am of the opinion that you can’t control it, and even if you can, it’s not a good thing. What if someone takes my work and turns it into something brilliant, and becomes the next Anu Mallik? Or more likely, what if they take the work and extend the concepts and make it even more useful, to even more people? Release control, and see what happens. People are wonderful, creative creatures. Let’s see what they can do.

3. You’re making other bloggers look bad. Perhaps; if you want to see things in a negative light. But I’m not doing this as a challenge to other bloggers, or as a comment on their policies. I’m doing it simply to stay in line with my values. And who knows? Maybe others will be inspired by this in some way. Or maybe they won’t. Either way, please don’t judge others based on what I do.

4. But … but … they’re stealing from you! You can’t steal what is given freely. I call this sharing, not piracy.
