    Comment by Tim Vollmer, Manager of Policy and Data for Creative Commons: "...a handy, human-readable reference guide for academic authors, publishers looking into supporting Open Access, and policy makers and funders adopting open policies that require Open Access to research that is funded through the public purse... focuses primarily on describing the spectrum of Open Access policies for journals. An increasingly important and related area is the sharing of data associated with the research process. Open data have the potential to facilitate enhanced scientific collaboration and reproducibility, but it is not yet settled, from both a legal and technical perspective, how this wealth of data that leads to the creation of scholarly work will be shared. And current research suggests an approach whereby articles are licensed under an open license (preferably CC-BY), while data associated with the article are dedicated to the public domain using a tool such as the CC0 Public Domain Dedication. In this way, researchers clearly communicate-in a comprehensive manner-the rights and permissions available to users for both the text and the data."

  • Lawyers, copyright officers for universities, book publishers, and even educators tend to defer to a conservative picture of copyright law and refrain from contributing to and participating in a robust commons. The TEACH Act indirectly encourages such caution by requiring institutions to prevent retention and unauthorized dissemination of copyrighted works that are shown in the classroom; the result is that schools may decide not to take advantage of the Act's provisions out of fear of sanctions for noncompliance.
  • erring on the side of caution may in turn negatively serve the future of the fair use defense; if educators and others are unwilling to engage in new and creative uses of copyrighted materials, then legislators may respond by limiting fair use
  • Noncommercial educational initiatives must struggle against the rise of a "clearance culture" that requires licenses for educational uses of content that are minimal or highly transformative

    Creative Commons (CC) has received a small grant to create an "OER Policy Registry." The Open Education Resources (OER) Policy Registry will be a place for policy makers and open advocates to easily share and update OER legislation, OER institutional policies and supporting OER policy resources. We have begun to enter OER policies into the registry, but we need your help to make it a truly useful global resource. ... Will you please: (1) Contribute any OER policies you know about on this form. http://goo.gl/9TmUV We are collecting both legislative AND institutional (non- legislative) OER policies from around the world. Your form submissions will be added to this draft list of OER policies. (2) Review the draft list of OER policies. http://goo.gl/i6i9W If any entries need to be fixed, please email us at oer@creativecommons.org

  • (2)  Intellectual property.  In the documentary I mention above and in just about all of the other work in my class, we discuss IP issues--and then claim fair use for the materials we borrow from within the class.  We talk about Creative Commons and other forms of share-alike licensing.   But then we often disregard those rules in the creation of the class student-produced materials.  By that I mean, there are images and audio that are attributed, of course, to those who created them but nonetheless used in the production intended for our class and for pedagogical purposes only that would require fees and legal agreements were they distributed beyond the walled off class project.   We are at such a strange moment in the history of intellectual property, with everything changing and no one quite knowing what they want or why since the business model of so much online property remains in flux.  I want my students to understand the IP issues--but I don't want their intellect and imagination fettered by it.

    Interesting look at using private class blogging as a means for learning about IP and copyright.
