ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Free-culture movement

The free-culture movement is like sharing your toys with your friends. Just like how you let your friends play with your toys and they let you play with their toys too. But instead of toys, we're talking about things like songs, movies, books, and pictures.

The idea behind the free-culture movement is that everyone should be able to access and use creative works freely, without worrying about copyrights or paying someone for using their stuff. Just like how you can play with your friend's toys without having to pay them for it.

So, some people create artwork, music, and other creative works and then share it with others for free. Others simply use the free content to create their own work.

This movement believes that creative works belong to everyone, and they should be available to anyone who wants to use them. It can help people learn new things, be inspired, and create even better works of art.

Just like how sharing toys with your friends makes you happy, contributing and using free culture content can make people happy and encourage them to share more. The free-culture movement is a way to spread happiness and creativity to everyone.
