Creative Commons: Public Copyright Licenses Joan Naturale, NTID Librarian JXNWML@Rit.Edu | 2 Creative Commons: Public Copyright Licenses Joan Naturale, NTID Librarian [email protected] | 2 Overview . Spectrum of Rights . Copyright, Creative Commons and reasons for using . Creative Commons elements and licenses . Finding Creative Commons works | 3 | 4 What is Copyright? . Exclusive set of rights for creators . Copy, distribute, perform, adapt or use the work . Encourages creation of new works . Who owns the copyright? Creator, organization, employer . Copyright owner gives permission to use the work . Works created after 1978: the length of the creator’s life plus 70 years | 5 What Does Copyright Protect? . Copyright protects original works in a tangible medium. • Literary and artistic works • Translations, adaptations, arrangements • Collections of works • A pplied art, industrial design and models • Computer software and websites • Can register your copyrighted works at the Library of Congress | 6 Why Creative Commons? . Avoid copyright issues-saves time, money and effort . Creator can define how works are used- Creative Commons licenses . Others can build and share your work if you choose . Promotes openness, collaboration and shared creativity . Helps with discoverability and dissemination of your work . CC works are more highly cited than other works . At least 1.4 billion Creative Commons licensed works | 7 Creative Commons . Non-profit “dedicated to building a globally accessible public commons of knowledge and culture” . Forefront of “copyleft” movement; alternative to traditional copyright . Supplies licenses that allow creators to share work more openly . These licenses work within existing copyright law . Six Creative Commons licenses only apply to works that are copyrighted . No registration needed | 8 Elements of Creative Commons Licenses | 9 CC-BY (Attribution) . Requires that you credit or attribute the original creator/copyright owner . A part of all of the 6 Creative Commons licenses . A way to show gratitude and give credit to the creator | 10 Non-Commercial (NC) . Works can only be used for a noncommercial purpose . Based on the use and not the user | 11 No-Derivatives . Cannot create an adaptation or derivative work (without permission) . Small changes (e.g. format shifting, or minor changes) –that do not alter the nature of the work, are acceptable | 12 Share-Alike . Any derivative work or adaptation needs to be ”Shared-alike” . In the creation of a new work that incorporates a Share-Alike work, a similar license or more liberal license (e.g. CC-BY) needs to be used. | 13 The Six Creative Commons Licenses | 14 CC-BY License . Just one condition: Attribution | 15 CC-BY Attribution ShareAlike License . Two conditions: Attribution and Share-Alike | 16 CC-BY Non-Commercial . Two conditions: Attribution and non-commercial use | 17 CC-BY-ND . Two conditions: Attribution and No-Derivative works | 18 Licenses With 3 Conditions . CC-BY-NC-SA: Attribution, Non-Commercial, Share-Alike . CC-BY-NC-ND: Attribution, Non-Commercial, No Derivatives | 19 Public Domain . Public domain = works that are out of copyright and not protected . Copyright is waived or expired . Cannot use Creative Commons licenses on Public Domain works | 20 Public Domain Mark . U sed for older works, believed to be in the Public Domain. (Copyright expired). Mostly used by Cultural Heritage institutions (e.g. Archives, Museums, Libraries) . Not a license. An indicator that a work is believed to be in the Public Domain. If you adapt a PD work, then you could apply a CC license. | 21 CC ZERO OR CC0 . Used to indicate when a work is deliberately dedicated to the Public Domain . Creators using CC0 waive any rights under copyright . Unlike CC licenses, users are not required to adhere to any conditions or provide attribution (although it is considered good practice to do so) | 22 | 23 Fair Use Applies to CC Works . As with copyrighted works, fair use applies to CC works . This means you can use a small part of a CC work without following the license if it falls under ‘fair use’ . Link to RIT Fair Use Analysis Form | 24 Licensing Considerations . You have to own the copyright to your work in order to apply a CC license. Make sure you are not using someone else’s material. Works created by employees in course of employment –employer usually owns copyright . Creative Commons licenses are irrevocable (“no takesies backsies”) . Specify what content you are licensing (e.g. “except where otherwise indicated, this presentation is licensed under CC-BY”) . Do not restrict others from re-using the works (file formats, digital locks) that prevents them from using the work if the license permits it. Online license creator (can copy XHTML text for your website that embeds the cc license) | 25 Example of CC Works Usage Ava takes a photograph of her pet cat surrounded by flowers. She decides to share this photo on Flickr using a Creative Commons license which allows anyone to use the photograph and make changes to it as long as Ava is given credit as the original Photographer. John sees Ava's photograph and downloads it to his computer where he remixes the photo into an animated GIF of Ava's cat bouncing around with flower petals falling through the air. When he posts the GIF to his website, he gives Ava credit for the original photograph, linking to both her Flickr account, and to the Creative Commons license she has chosen for her work. He also adds a Creative Commons license to his remixed GIF. Sue has written a short piece of music which she plans to post on her YouTube channel. She sees John’s GIF and decides to use it in the background video of her piece of music. She posts her song on YouTube with the animated GIF playing for the video and gives proper credit to John and Ava. Each of the three has benefited from using Creative Commons licensing for their work. | 26 What is Considered Adapted or Derivative Works . Adaptation means creating something new from an original, copyrighted work. The resulting work is based on or derived from the original. Film based on book . Translation of a book from one language to another . Open book chapter that weaves together multiple open resources . Syncing a musical work with a moving image . Modifying a photo by cropping, applying a filter or adding elements | 27 | 28 | 29 | 30 | 31 What is NOT Considered Adapted or Derivative Works . Technical format shifting-converting from digital format to a physical copy . Fixing spelling or punctuation errors . Reproducing and putting CC works together in a collection (compiling essays by different authors for use in an open textbook) . An image with text such as a blog post, a PowerPoint, or article . Using an excerpt of a work that shows a new idea or provides an example (not building a new original work based on the excerpt) | 32 | 33 | 34 | 35 | 36 Example of Reuse and Remix . Professor creates course materials by using specific CC licensed materials and providing attribution . https://uri.libguides.com/creativecommons/reuse | 37 Attribution . The title . The name of the author . A link to the original, if available . A link to the specific license . The copyright notice for the work (if any) .

  • Creative Commons Open Licenses - What Is It All About?
    CREATIVE COMMONS OPEN LICENSES - WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT? Introductory presentation by Paul G. West Creative Commons South African Chapter Lead STATING THE UNNECESSARY This workshop is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of participants or facilitators in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate, including in any online platform that may be used. AND IT IS IMPORTANT TO ADD THAT . • Nothing in this workshop should be construed as legal advice! • We will be talking about an interesting range of topics that touch on copyright, fair use and open licensing. • We will together learn more about copyright, open licensing and open practices in various communities. • Upon completion, you should feel a little more comfortable sharing facts about copyright and open licensing and good open practices. • I am NOT a lawyer – I am a supporter of Open Educational Resources (OER) and Creative Commons (CC) open licenses. THE STORY DOES NOT START IN 2002 UNESCO Forum on the Impact of Open Courseware for Higher Education in Developing Countries https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000181682 ORIGINS OF OER CREATION OF A MOVEMENT Larry Lessig and others founded the Creative Commons 2001 Charles M.

  • RESEARCH NOTE Remix Culture: an Empirical Analysis of Creative Reuse
    RESEARCH NOTE Remix culture: an empirical analysis of creative reuse and the licensing of digital media in online communities Giorgos Cheliotis (PI) School of Information Systems Singapore Management University 80 Stamford Road Singapore 178902 [email protected] Contributors Clint Mark Lumantao Gono, Ankit Guglani, Mike Linksvayer, Victor Stone, Warren Chik, and Giri Kumar Tayi January 10, 2007 This is a short description of work in progress, to communicate preliminary findings and to propose more research in this direction. Results will likely change as we continue to refine and extend the analysis. Abstract We explore the nature and impact of creative reuse in the production of digital media by ana- lyzing the output of an innovative online music sharing community, ccMixter. The dataset is of great significance because this is one of only a handful of online communities which do not only allow for the sharing of user-generated content, but also track the evolution of content af- ter it has been published online and encourage reuse of the content for the production of new works. All content on ccMixter is legally uploaded, copyrighted, and licensed under Creative Commons. Much has been written about the birth of a new “remix culture” on the Internet and how collaborative Web 2.0 technology has led to an explosion of user-generated content. But very little is known about the process of developing digital media in an open and collaborative fashion, the incentives of participating authors, and the outcomes of their actions. Based on our earlier studies of Creative Commons licensing [1] and the analysis of this unique online community we hope to shed more light on the structure and dynamics of such activities by pro- viding some of the first visualizations ever of large-scale remixing activity and presenting our preliminary findings.

  • Extending the Personal Music Collection by Free Music Bachelor’S Thesis
    Distributed Computing Extending the Personal Music Collection by Free Music Bachelor's Thesis Dominic Langenegger [email protected] Distributed Computing Group Computer Engineering and Networks Laboratory ETH Z¨urich Supervisors: Samuel Welten Prof. Dr. Roger Wattenhofer June 10, 2012 Acknowledgements My thanks go to my supervisor Samuel Welten who made it possible for me to work on the Android music player jukefox1 and extend it with some work of my own. Many other people helped me during the development and writing process of this thesis with their expert knowledge, support and feedback. I would like to thank all of them. During the development of this extension, I used some libraries of others to simplify my work. I'd specially like to thank the developers of the following openly licensed libraries: (i) Google Gson, a simple and fast JSON serializer and deserializer. 2 (ii) SAX, the Simple API for XML, and its Java version provide an interface for very fast and efficient event based XML parsing. 3 (iii) MySQL Connector/J, an uncomplicated MySQL driver that handles JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) calls to access a MySQL database. 4 1http://www.jukefox.org/ 2http://code.google.com/p/google-gson/ 3http://www.saxproject.org/ 4http://dev.mysql.com/usingmysql/java/ i Abstract Today, people listen to music on their mobile phone or other playback devices. Jukefox is a special music player running on Google's smart phone operating system Android. It's capable of recognizing similarities between multiple songs, albums and artists using data based on a huge music similarity map [1] which classifies songs into a high-dimensional space.

  • Creative Commons Helping Patrons and Students Find and License Online Content
    CREATIVE COMMONS HELPING PATRONS AND STUDENTS FIND AND LICENSE ONLINE CONTENT KYLA HUNT: All right. So, hello everybody and welcome to Creative Commons Helping Patrons and Students Find and License Online Content. Just a couple of things about today's presentation. So, both Liz and I are going to be doing the presentations and we'll introduce ourselves in a second and then we'll be taking a couple of breaks to see if there are any questions. So, while you have questions, make sure you type them in, because I definitely don’t want you to forget what questions you have, because I can never hold on to the questions. So, my name is Kyla Hunt. I'm the Library Management Consultant here at the Texas State Library. So, I oversee the small library management training program. LIZ PHILIPPI: Hi, I'm Liz Philippi and I'm the School Program Coordinator here. So, I work with the TexQuest resources that are provided for K12 students and currently still working on finalizing the new Texas School Library Program standards. KYLA HUNT: Okay. So, I always like to start out by talking about Creative Commons by really talking about what it is, because I think that when people hear the term, Creative Commons, there can be a lot of misconception. People think it's the same thing as public domain or people think that it means that there isn't any copyright on something anymore and those are a lot of misconceptions that I just like to clear up from the get go.

  • Access to Digital Collections of Public Domain Works: Enclosure of the Commons Managed by Libraries and Museums
    Access to digital collections of public domain works: Enclosure of the commons managed by libraries and museums M. Dulong de Rosnay Abstract Digital copies of physical books and art objects curated by libraries and museums are being made available to the public online. Their access and reuse conditions are submitted to terms of use and policies defined by the institutions in charge of the development of databases and the digitisation of works, of which many are in the public domain. As no copyright applies to these works, their digital instantiation should in principle be freely accessible and reusable. However, in practice, some memory institutions databases contractual terms of use impose restrictions (for instance, reserving the commercial use of the version they digitalized or reserving the right to reuse photographies they funded), thus re-introducing physical barriers for resources which are supposed to be in the commons. The article analyzes a sample of online databases policies of libraries and museums public domain collections in various countries, and provides examples of best practices of institutions and collective actions to avoid adding unnecessary restrictions to public domain works. A good governance of the digital commons including adequate partnerships will enhance access to knowledge. Libraries, museums, public domain works, digitisation, enclosure, governance. 1. INTRODUCTION Libraries and museums are digitizing their collections. Online databases of reproductions of manuscripts, books, paintings and other art works are being made available online though the websites of the libraries and museums or institutional portals. This research focuses on access and reuse conditions of public domain works archived in such databases.
