Creative Commons and Open Access

Am 12. Juli ist die Piratenpartei in die politischen Gewässern der Schweiz gestochen. Wir sind überzeugt, dass die aktuelle Politik verschiedene wichtige gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen nicht in unserem Sinne begleitet. Die Piratenpartei ist DIE politische Kraft, die die Anliegen der Internetgeneration vertritt. Wir setzen uns ein - für die Einhaltung der Privatsphäre und einen konsequenten Datenschutz - für ein transparentes Staatswesen - gegen Zensur - für den Abbau von Infrastrukturmonopolen und Patenten - für Open Access - für die Befreiung unserer Kultur und ein zeitgemässes Urheberrecht - für einen zeitgemässen Umgang mit medialer Gewalt und Jugendschutz Seit dem 12. Juli halten wir Piraten auch Ausschau nach gleichgesinnten Partnerorganisationen- und vereinen. Damit wir den anderen Parteien um die Ohren segeln können sind wir auch auf Partner angewiesen. Wir wollen deshalb gerne mit ihrer Organisation/Verein in Kontakt treten und eine mögliche Kooperation ins Auge fassen. Wir bieten ihrer Organisation/ihrem Verein gerne unsere Kompetenzen und unsere politische Plattform zur Unterstützung ihrer Anliegen an. Es geht uns um die praxisorientierte Umsetzung gemeinsamer Überzeugungen in praktischer Politik. Wir würden uns sehr über eine Zusammenarbeit freuen und ihren Verein/ihre Organisation gerne zu uns ins Boot holen, um gemeinsam zu neuen Ufern aufzubrechen! Wir würden uns freuen, wenn Sie diese Informationen an ihre Mitglieder weiterleiten und laden herzlichst dazu ein in unserem Forum http://forum.piraten-partei.ch mitzudiskutieren.

Gemein-Freiheit - Vorboten einer freien digitalen Kultur\nVon Sebastian M. Krämer. \nSWR2 Wissen vom 02.11.2009. (27:42 min).\nWith useful links, and links for downloading the audio and the manuscript of the broadcast."Die Wissenschaft bietet mit "Open Access" einen offenen Zugang zu ihrer Forschung. Und der Lizenzbaukasten "Creative Commons" soll bisherige rechtliche nationale Schranken überbrücken und den Ideenaustausch im Netz rechtlich absichern und fördern. Denn die Vision einer freien digitalen Kultur rüttelt am Wertesystem, das sich auf den Buchdruck gründet und aus geistigen Werken besteht, die oft nur Einzelne besitzen. Sie verweist auf eine überlieferte Metapher: Die jeweils lebende Generation steht auf den "Schultern von Riesen". Das heißt, alle Menschen schöpfen unentwegt aus dem kulturellen Erbe und arbeiten mit ihren Ideen und Werken daran weiter."

On November 5, 2009, Lawrence Lessig gave a talk entitled It Is About Time: Getting Our Values Around Copyright Right at the Educause 2009 Congress.

"So, let me make one final plea, to bring you into this battle. You all know, we are in the middle of a war. I don't mean - actually, we are in the middle of many wars - I mean actually one war here, the copyright war. War that the late Jack Valenti, my friend - extraodinary man - used to refer to as his own "terrorist war"? - where apparently , the terrorists in this war are our children. (audience laughs). So we organize and wage war against these terrorists. We talk about this as a war that needs to be waged against these pirates. And the thing that we need to recognize as educators, as scientists, as parents, as people who understand the potential and uses of this technology, is: we can't kill this technology, we can only criminalize it. We're not going to stop our kids from creating the way they create, ways that we couldn't even begin to imagine creating, at least when I was growing up. We can only drive that creativity underground. We can't make our kids passive, the way that, again, I was passive growing up, the way Souza feared. We can only make them "pirates". And the question we, as a culture, need to ask is: Is that any good? Our kids live in this age of prohibitions, in all sorts of contexts of their life. They live life against the law. We tell them they live life against the law and they recognize their behavior is against the law. That recognition is extraordinarily corrosive, extraordinarily corruptive of the rule of law in a democracy. 3571.076838 3590.998233 You, each of you, all of us, have let this insanity happen. You, each of you, all of us, could, if we actually stood up and did something about it, make it stop. Thank you very much."

It Is About Time: Getting Our Values Around Copyright Right - Nov 5th, 2009 In this talk, Lawrence Lessig will review the progress of the "open access" movement in education. He will make a call for educators to finally resolve this issue in a way that enables the potential of technology for education.

- Primary Focus: o Making scientific research "re-useful" - We develop and promote policy and tools to help people and organizations open and mark their research and data sets for reuse. As part of this work, we released an "open data" protocol to enable the global scientific community to pool and use data created under different legal regimes. o Enabling "one-click" access to research tools - We offer a suite of standardized contracts to bring the efficiencies and economies of scale from e-commerce to the world of scientific tools, so researchers can easily replicate, verify, and extend research. o Integrating fragmented information sources - We help researchers find, analyze, and use data from disparate sources by marking and integrating the information with a common, computer-readable language.
