CC is not: not as in beer
• anti-copyright – just another rights management
tool
• the public domain – just giving certain
permission in advance
• anti-commercial – can use some material
commercially, charge for “premium” services,
embed advertising etc
• right for every situation – entirely voluntary,
and won’t be best solution for all creators

Before you license,
think:
Who do you want to use
the material, and when?
Are you choosing the right
licence?
Do you have the rights to
license the material? Are
you using anyone else’s
material?
Are you sure? You can't
change your mind (or not
easily)

just tell them what they can’t do
CC teaches them what they can do

60. Learning about CC encourages
them to think about their

how would they want their
material to be used?

Australia
• Students collaboratively developed the

• Students with no budgets had to create 3

• CC licensing of the final work
was optional, but all did it

Hinweis der Redaktion
We’re hear to talk about copyright
This is what makes copyright hard. Because you need the permission of each of these different copyright owners before you can use the work. In fact, they need each other’s permission before they can use the final work (eg CD), such as publishing it or putting it online. Well – in most circumstances you need their permission. There are exceptions:
Some just say ignore copyright law – rip, mix, burn This is ok if you’re an private user, or an obscure artist – can choose to take risk But doesn’t work for schools, libraries, museums, charities, academics, short film makers entering into competitions, DJs releasing a commercial CD etc Plus, the music labels and hollywood are suing people now – and in the UK they’re threatening to cut off people’s internet connections.
Creative Commons comes in. Hopefully you’ll remember from the last lecture I gave,
Non-profit Founded in 2001 These academics became concerned that the default copyright laws that applied in most countries were restricting creativity in the digital environment by preventing people from being able to access, remix and distribute copyright material online Taking inspiration from the open source movement, they decided to develop a set of licences that creators could use to make their material more freely available without giving up their copyright They wanted to replace the standard “all rights reserved” model with a new, more flexible, “some rights reserved”

Non-profit Founded in 2001 These academics became concerned that the default copyright laws that applied in most countries were restricting creativity in the digital environment by preventing people from being able to access, remix and distribute copyright material online For instances – most people know that it’s currently illegal under Australian law to record a television show to watch later – but did you also know that, in the absence of any licence, it’s also arguably illegal to print off a webpage for personal use, or to use a song in the background of a home video, or a student film Even those people who want to make their material more freely available can’t do so without hiring lawyers Taking inspiration from the open source movement, they decided to develop a set of licences that creators could use to make their material more freely available without giving up their copyright They wanted to replace the standard “all rights reserved” model with a new, more flexible, “some rights reserved”
The first CC licences were released in 2002 The central to each of the CC licences are the four licence elements – Attribution, noncommercial, no derivative and sharealike These represent restrictions that copyright owners may want to put on how people can use their material. As you can see, each of the elements has a symbol that can be used to ‘represent’ each of these elements this makes the licences easier understand – in theory, once a person is familiar with the CC licences, they should be able to recognise what uses are allowed simply by looking at the symbols
Users can mix and match these elements to set the conditions of use for their material So, for example, an author may be happy to allow private uses of their work, but may want to limit how it can be used commercially. They may also want people to remix their work, but only so long as that person attributes them and makes the new work available for others to remix So they can choose the Attribution-noncommercial-sharealike licence

So – looking at how the CC licences are being used According to the latest statistics from the CC website, there are currently about 140million webpages that use a CC licence As you can see, almost all of them contain the BY element – that’s because it was made compulsory for all the licences except the public domain licences after the first year, because pretty much everybody was using it anyway The majority also, unsurprisingly, choose the non-commercial element Interestingly, next most popular is ShareAlike, not noderivatives – this shows that there is still a strong focus on fostering creativity among CC community, and that, rather than trying to lock their material up, people are happy for it to be remixed, as long as the new work is also sharedEven more interesting is how these statistics are changing over time Even more interestingly – if you look at how the licences is being used over time, people are gradually moving towards more liberal licences with less restrictions on them This movement seems to indicate that as people become more familiar with the licences, they are more comfortable allowing greater use This is supported by anecdotal evidence from CC users who, after initially publishing their material under restrictive licences that don’t allow derivatives, often ‘re-release’ their material to allow new works
