Creative Commons and Open Access

"CC0 enables scientists, educators, artists and other creators and owners of copyright-protected content to waive copyright interests in their works and thereby place them as completely as possible in the public domain, so that others may freely build upon, enhance and reuse the works for any purposes without restriction under copyright. In contrast to CC's licenses that allow copyright holders to choose from a range of permissions while retaining their copyright, CC0 empowers yet another choice altogether - the choice to opt out of copyright and the exclusive rights it automatically grants to creators - the "no rights reserved" alternative to our licenses."

"...If rights remain as tightly controlled and as expensive as they are now, nonfiction will be the province of the entirely new or the overly familiar. Dazzling books with newly created art, text and multimedia will far outnumber works filled with historical materials. Only a few well-heeled companies will have the wherewithal to create gee-whiz multimedia book-like products that require permissions, and these projects will most likely focus on highly popular subjects. History's outsiders and untold stories will be left behind. We treat copyrights as individual possessions, jewels that exist entirely by themselves. I'm obviously sympathetic to that point of view. But source material also takes on another life when it's repurposed. It becomes part of the flow, the narration, the interweaving of text and art in books and e-books. It's essential that we take this into account as we re-imagine permissions in a digital age. When we have a new model for permissions, we will have new media. Then all of us - authors, readers, new-media innovators, rights holders - will really see the stories that words and images can tell. "

"We are a law firm which specialises in assisting intellectual property rights holders exploit and enforce their rights globally. Illegal file sharing costs the creative industries billions of pounds every year. The impact of this is huge, resulting in job losses, declining profit margins and reduced investment in product development. Action needs to be taken and we believe a coordinated effort is needed now, before irreparable damage is done. We have developed effective and unique methods for organisations to enforce their intellectual rights. By working effectively with forensic IT experts, law firms and anti-piracy organisations, we seek to eliminate the illegal distribution of copyrighted material through our revolutionary business model. Whilst many companies offer anti-piracy measures, these are often costly and ineffective. Our approach is quite the opposite, it generates revenue for rights holders and effectively decreases copyright infringement in a measurable and sustainable way. We offer high quality advice and excellent client care by delivering a thorough and reliable service. If you are interested in our services, please contact us for a no obligation consultation."

"Misrepresentation One of the greatest concerns for authors who create works of opinion and place them under alternative copyright licences is that the licence will allow their opinions or arguments to be misrepresented. The Creative Commons Attribution-No-Derivatives licence appears to protect against misrepresentation by ensuring that the author's original expression cannot be altered with the production of derivative works. But I would argue that ND cannot protect against mis-representation any better than using a copyleft licence such as Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike, and that copyleft licences are also better for freedom of speech."

"Open Education Resources (OER) just got a big boost this weekend. Long time OER champion Dr. Catherine Casserly was just elected yesterday to the Board of Directors of Creative Commons to help provide further direction for the Open Education Resources movement worldwide. 2010-02-01-Casseerly4.jpg For those of you who never heard of OER, let me explain. In brief, OER is high quality learning materials that are freely available for use, remixing and redistribution; the name was first adopted by UNESCO in 2002. The push to further develop OER comes at a critical time when schools nationwide are seeking ways to improve learning. Creative Commons (CC) plays a major role in the OER movement as it provides the legal structure for sharing creative works and making them available for others to build upon and share. The CC organization has six licenses that allow creators to share their works easily."

"Bei der Umsetzung von Open Access sollten die folgenden Punkte durch die AutorInnen oder EditorInnen beachtet werden:"

"Repositories | Organisations | Projects | Journals | Copyright | Funding | Publishers | News | Other"

"Privacy and Terms of Use The following notices and licenses comprise together the MIT OpenCourseWare License. * Privacy * Creative Commons License * Use of MIT Name * MIT Interpretation of "Non-commercial" * Infringement Notification * Trademarks"

"You need to check with your society. Currently, many of the collecting societies in Australia, Finland, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Spain, Taiwan and the Netherlands take an assignment of rights (or in France what is called a "mandate" of rights that nonetheless has the same effect practically as an assignment) from you in present and future works (so that they effectively become the owner of these rights) and manage them for you. So if you are already a member of a collecting society in one of these jurisdictions, you may not be entitled to license your work yourself under a Creative Commons license because the necessary rights are not held by you but by the collecting society. Please also read the FAQ on the website of the Creative Commons project team for your jurisdiction for more information about this issue in your jurisdiction. "

"The following list sets out some basic things that you should think about before you apply a Creative Commons license to your work. It is not an exhaustive list.

"A currently ongoing ransomware campaign is using a novel approach to extort money from end users whose PCs have been locked down. By pretending to be the fake ICPP Foundation (icpp-online.com), the ransomware locks down the user's desktop issuing a "Copyright violation: copyrighted content detected" message, which lists torrent files found on the infected PC, and forces the user to pay $400 for the copyright holder's fine, emphasizing on the fact that "the maximum penalties can be five years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines. More details on the campaign: ..."

"There's a new extortion trojan in circulation. This one attempts to steal victims' money by bullying them to pay a "pre-trial settlement" to cover a "Copyright holder fine". The victim is informed that an "Antipiracy foundation scanner" has found illegal torrents from the system. If he won't pay $400 (via a credit card transaction), he might face jail time and huge fines."
