Specifically, there are one or two points I want to make. * IP is not a good way to protect against cultural appropriation * IP may encourag cultural appropriation For the former, I need to show how IP has been ineffective for protecting marginalized cultures from appropriation, how there may be a separate legal framework, and draw on examles of successful protections in the past. If a legal framework is not necessary, what else can be done? For the latter, it's a point i'm not sure can be made, but any help building or criticizing the idea is appreciated! What do you all think? Please forward this to anyone you think would be knowledgeable on this </pre> Danny Piccirillo 2012-04-22T17:30:16 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.creativecommons.general/6646 <pre> Would the GNU GPL be a 'better' license if it were NC? Why or why not? Is there really any difference between code and art? Consider the case of a computer game that generates it's artwork dynamically, using algorithms written in c. What about a game that generates the music within that game using code written by the author? Why is code not considered art, and if it *IS* art, then why does the GNU GPL not require attribution, and why does the GNU GPL allow commercial distribution?

Let’s CC offers quick and easy access to search services provided by some companies from one single page like search.creativecommons.org. It makes use of the APIs provided by Fiickr, Jamendo, ccMixter, Youtube and Slideshare, so you can find CC-licensed images, sounds, videos and docs at once with just one click. You can also save your favorite contents, add tags to them, search them and check most favorite contents of all users. Let’ CC‘ let contents which is to be set favorites locate the top of search results so as to let users find more relevant contents easily. We has tried to put emphasis on simplicity, convenience and efficiency for designing this service. *Now the code of "Let's CC" http://eng.letscc.net, is distributed as open source.* *Please refer to https://github.com/neomparam/letscc. * I hope you find it useful.

Consumers already pay for all of the Costs of production *and* they pay Profit because they do not have ownership. Why would we not be able to attract consumers to pre-pay for internet connectivity or cell-phone service or food production or any/all of the goods and services we *already* pay for? The only difference now is that we pay *late*, and so never gain the ownership needed to avoid also paying Profit. This logistical problem is already being somewhat addressed under the title "Crowd Funding", but in that case the people that pre-pay for Product do not become real co-owners, and so they continue to pay Profit and beg the real owners to do "the right thing" while having no actual control of that production. Yikes. What would these vicious cops be enforcing? Are you saying it is impossible to share hardware?

I was finished with the screencast after 5h, plus 3h encoding time. Then I started writing to the artists whose music I used to try to get the right to use them under GPL. The first two were happy to allow me to use their songs under GPL. Finding ways to reach them took some time, but within one or two days I had positive replies - with one of them even stating “tho I thought cc-by-sa 3.0 is GPL compatible” I used Google+, email and Jamendo for contacting them. The third band did not yet answer, though I tried to contact them over email, myspace and Jamendo (not facebook: I am not on that network for philosophical reasons). It’s over a week now, and I was not able to clear the rights of a screencast which took me just 5h to make from first keystroke of the draft to finished cutting (I don’t count encoding time: that happens while I am away). So license incompatibility is a real hindrance to free culture. And: * Some artists already expect cc-by-sa to be compatible, so “broken expectations” are no argument against GPL-compatibility (though I know that 3 groups is a pretty small test-group) * Just asking is no option, because then the rights clearance takes much longer than the creative process and sometimes is not possible at all. I’ll likely have to find new music - except if one of you knows someone from the woodenlegsband. I can only hope that I’ll find other music which works with the screencast. * This was a calculated risk. I knew that those problems might appear, but I decided to give the benefit of doubt to those who say that GPL-incompatibility is no problem. Now I know by *experience* that they are wrong. In short: We need GPL compatibility. This is one more usecase. Others are in the wiki: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/GPL_compatibility_use_cases#More_raw_material Best wishes, Arne -- singing a part of the history of free software: - http://infinite-hands.draketo.de - _______________________________________________ List info and archives at http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/cc-community Unsubscribe at http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/options/cc-community</pre> Arne Babenhauserheide 2012-04-11T05:59:51 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.creativecommons.general/6596 <pre>Hiya, I've moved this email from the cc-licenses list to the cc-community list as it doesn't have to do with 4.0 licensing legalcode and etc issues specifically.

So there are some designs for mechanical parts that are CC-BY-SA. There are other designs for mechanical parts that are GPL. Fabricating both creates derivative works under incompatible inherited licenses. My question is, does connecting one mechanical part to another really create a third-generation derivative work encompassing both parts, or is this "mere aggregation"? Could these incompatibly licensed parts not happily co-exist as long as the attribution, source, etc. for each are properly supplied, such as on a bill of materials? 1. http://wiki.creativecommons.org/4.0/Games_3d_printing_and_functional_content Cheers, Christopher _______________________________________________ List info and archives at http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/cc-community Unsubscribe at http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/options/cc-community </pre> Christopher Allan Webber 2012-04-09T20:10:37 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.creativecommons.general/6589 <pre>Hey. I have some problems to get a idea to improve the CC-ND license. I dont find discussion area on the wiki and it is difficult to communicate effectively in a mailing list. I would greatly appreciate those who can read to get my idea to be considered and discussed. It is this: My experience with the interpretation of the creative commons license no-derivative-works is ambiguous in some cases. The complicated case is deciding whether you can make a video from cc audio-nd. A video is a movie clip with sound? No. (Cinema was mute when born) A video may or may not have sound. Like a video may or may not have an smell associated. Therefore, a video are images in movement. Nothing more. If audio with cc-nd is not modified and I get to dance at the same time. .. Am I making a derivative work? No. If audio with cc-nd is not modified and I show a picture at the same time... Derivative work? No. Audio is not changing. Audio and video are distinct and separate. Another example: If I have a photo with cc-nd license and i play music .. Am I changing the picture? No. Am I making a derivative work? No. So, my proposal is that any sound with cc-nd license can be used in a video if the sound is not modified. If not, all pictures or sounds with CC-ND can't be accompanied by other images or sounds as in any website. Sorry for my english. I hope be useful. Thanks for all. yul01. _______________________________________________ List info and archives at http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/cc-community Unsubscribe at http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/options/cc-community </pre> yul01-sGOZH3hwPm2sTnJN9+BGXg< at >public.gmane.org 2012-04-03T23:06:22 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.creativecommons.general/6586 <pre>Hi all CC has just posted an opportunity for a summer intern&lt;http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/32044&gt;to work with our worldwide affiliate network over the US summer (June-August).

The website states it is Noncommercial Sampling Plus, while the ID3 TCOP frame says just Sampling Plus, which would allow commercial sampling. I think it should be corrected, otherwise creativecommons.org promotes rights the author hasn't provided. It isn't a huge thing, but since (sadly) few people use the ID3 tags [3] correctly, CC could set a good example.

I hope no-one minds us posting this "call for help" here but we thought this might be the best place to get a positive response. We are looking for sound and video clips for several projects we are working on and need your help. Audio Promos. We need as many clips of people saying one of the following phrases (if you wish to help, simply select the best match for you): "Hi, I'm (insert your name) and I listen to Creative Commons!" "Hi, I'm (insert your name) from (insert name of band/website) and we use Creative Commons!" "Hi, this is (insert ccMixter or similar username) and I remix music on (ccMixter.org or similar site)!" If you do not want to say your name, you can simply say "I listen to Creative Commons!" or similar. You can write your own promo if you think the above suggestions can be improved (and I'm sure they can *BG*). Video Promos. You can record yourself saying the above suggestions (or write your own promo). Another series of short promos we would really like to obtain are segments of video showing small clips of people working in their studios. This could be you finishing a piece of music you have published under a Creative Commons Licence (which permits derivatives) and speaking one of the suggested phrases from above. Again, you can write your own phrase. We are also looking for voice-over talent for other projects we are currently working on. If you have the time and would like to help us out, please contact us directly (e-mail will be given below). And lastly: We are also looking for volunteers who would like to help us with a range of video tutorials and other general use video content. What we would like to do is create animated cartoon-style videos using real people. These will be consist of 2D pictures animated in a 3D environment. If you would like to become a cartoon character, please send a full -length photo of yourself. So we can make use of your image, please make sure you stand straight with your legs slightly apart (so your feet are planted directly below your shoulders) and with your arms straight out at either side. If you are not able to do this, still send us your image in and we will do our best. Ensure that your head is slightly below the top of the photo and your feet are slightly above the bottom (don't cut your head off in the photo). You can send your files to us in two ways: For small files, you can send them via email: alpha-UpB4D61ZNI+K22NX1TYv9lN6ohzGQtmt&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org For larger files, please send them to our uploads server via FTP. Our uploads server is located at uploads.openindieproject.org and you must use a FTP client. Use an anonymous username/password and make sure you name your files in the following way: Please use your email address plus some description or random characters plus the file extension (do not use special characters). For example, you could use alpha_at_openindieproject_org_videopromo1.avi When your files have been uploaded, they will immediately become invisible to the public. This is to prevent abuse of our servers. Once that is done, please send us an email alpha-UpB4D61ZNI+K22NX1TYv9mD2FQJk+8+b&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org with the filename/s of your submission/s and your required name for accreditation and a link to your twitter feed, ccMixter profile or other similar website. We will include any links you submit which relates to Creative Commons activities. All of the projects we are producing will be published under the Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-SA 3.0) licence and we promise not to use your content in a negative way. We will give full credit whenever and however possible (if we use any of this content on our non-commercial radio feed we will add the credits to the relevant page on our website). If you make use of your own content in the submissions which not normally allow derivative works, please give us permission to use it (put this in your e-mail to us with your upload notification). You can send as many files are you wish but please keep each one to under 60 seconds. We may need to edit the content to fit in with the overall theme or time constraints of each project. We will not misuse your email addresses or add you to any mailing lists etc... Thanks for reading this and if you have any questions, please ask. -Bob Open Indie Project Dot Org _______________________________________________ List info and archives at http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/cc-community Unsubscribe at http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/options/cc-community </pre> Bob Noble 2012-02-26T01:05:25 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.creativecommons.general/6562 <pre>Did you know version 3.0 CC licenses were published 5 years and 2 days ago?
