FCC Proposes "Private Commons"
FCC Proposes "Private Commons"
09/03/2004 05:49 PMThe FCC is suggesting that spectrum licensees be allowed to let others
use their spectrum in a similar fashion to the unlicensed bands: The
only types of devices that would be allowed to operate in the "private
commons" would be peer-to-peer devices in a non-hierarchical network
that doesn't use the network of the licensee. According to Kevin
Warbach, a one-time counsel to the FCC and now an assistant professor
at The Wharton School, some experts say that if open spectrum is truly
beneficial, then licensees will create it. It seems there are a lot of
doubters that licensees would actually open their spectrum for this
kind of use, but perhaps a few innovative spectrum owners would give
it a try and find success. The FCC envisions that some current users
of unlicensed spectrum would benefit by negotiating with spectrum
owners to use their spectrum as a way to offer a service that is less
crowded and thus potentially more valuable than services that operate
in the unlicensed bands. It's the FCC's plan for avoiding the "tragedy
of the commons," where the shared item becomes so overused that it
loses its value....

Creative Commons Europe
Creative Commons Europe
03/22/2005 04:43 PMI had the good fortune to attend the Creative Commons
Europe summit in Amsterdam this week. The meeting, part of the Creative Capital
conference, was organized by the Waag Society's Paul Keller, the
public project lead of CC-Netherlands. It was one of
those great happenings, more and more frequent these days, that snap
your eyes open to Creative Commons' long-term potential, and to how
far we've come already: over 40 European Creative Commons project
leads and volunteers from Spain, the Ukraine, and everywhere in
between, brainstorming for two days about organizational structures,
promotion strategy, and tough legal issues, like a free-culture EU. I
thoroughly enjoyed seeing everyone -- many for the first time -- after
so many email exchanges, and having the chance to listen to their
stories about all their work. Paul deserves a medal (if we had those
to give out) for pulling the event together, and there aren't words to
describe Creative Commons' indebtedness to Christiane Asschenfeldt and
Roland Honekamp for coordinating, over only the last year and a half
no less, the development of such a great network of people. It was one
of those events that feels both like a milestone and yet a beginning.
Indeed, watch this space as we try to develop similar meetings around
the world. (Photos will soon follow, too.)

12/19/2004 02:55 PMFriends of Creative Commons,
As 2004 draws to a close, Creative Commons is strong. In the past
two
years since Creative Commons licenses have been available, we've taken
our first large first steps with you--building some of the essential
tools, adding critical pieces of infrastructure and assembling a
vibrant
community.
In 2004, Glenn, Larry, and the legal team made huge improvements
and
released version 2.0 of the main Creative Commons licenses. These new
versions added many needed features while at the same time they
reduced
the complexity of the licenses for our users. Christine, Roland and
all
of the iCommons volunteers worldwide took that work, and have ported
Creative Commons licenses to 12 countries. We expect to add another
dozen countries early next year, and we're in conversation with more
than 70.
We've found more than 5,000,000 pages with content and links back
to our
licenses. But the commons is about more than simply putting the work
out
there. So, Mike, Neeru, Matt, and Nutch.org have collaborated to
develop
and debut a metadata search engine that makes it easy to find content
marked with Creative Commons licenses. As if that were not enough,
that
search functionality now ships with the amazing Firefox browser from
mozilla.org.
Neeru and the tech team have also worked with other software
developers
to make it easy to integrate Creative Commons licenses. The list is
long, and includes Flickr, Moveable Type, Squarespace, Manila,
Archive.org, WinkSite, plus DMusic, Soundclick, Garageband.com, and
others I'm sure I've forgotten.
We're nearer to making worry-free sampling and re-creativity
mainstream.
What better place to start than the cover of WIRED magazine? The WIRED
CD contains sixteen sampling-friendly tunes -- and includes the
Beastie
Boys, David Byrne, Gilberto Gil, Chuck D and more.
In 2005 we will continue to build our worldwide community of
contributors to free culture. We will continue to enable more images,
music, films and text, and we'll start to work on the Science Commons.
We'll have much more to tell you about it at the start of the
year.

named Nutch. I believe Gordon Mohr works on that.
Here's the
post from John Batelle.....
Doug Cutting reminds me that his Nutch open
source engine is powering a beta
version of Creative Commons search. This is a great example of a
domain specific search application, in this case, the engine crawls
and indexes all CC licensed sites and lets you find stuff by how you
might want to use it. As Doug points out, there's no way the Creative
Commons could have built an engine like this had it not been for open
source. Cool....

BBC to use Creative Commons licenses
05/26/2004 06:16 PMDigital Lifestyles is reporting that Larry Lessig has been named to a
BBC advisory board and that the BBC's Creative Archive project (which
aims to put the BBC's archives online for non-commercial re-use) will
use Creative Commons licenses:
Professor Lawrence Lessig, chair of the Creative Commons project was
clearly excited: "The announcement by the BBC of its intent to develop
a Creative Archive has been the single most important event in getting
people to understand the potential for digital creativity, and to see
how such potential actually supports artists and artistic creativity."
He went to enthuse "If the vision proves a reality, Britain will
become a centre for digital creativity, and will drive the many
markets – in broadband deployment and technology – that
digital creativity will support."

Creative Commons and The Plains
08/06/2004 05:00 PMThere's a been good discussion about music and Creative Commons
licenses happening on the pho
list the last day or so. The most novel post comes from Jim Griffin:
Here's an example from my new reality: In our neighborhood (The
Plains, VA,
population 266) and in our region there are many people who adopt for
their
land a conservation easement, essentially signing away (sometimes with
certain modifications) their right and any future owner's right to
develop
the land outside some fairly restrictive parameters.
On a strictly financial basis, it makes little sense. The dramatic
reduction
in the land's value does bring lower property taxes, but this pales by
comparison to the lost right to develop the land. And make no mistake
about
it: The Washington area sprawls, especially so with the restriction on
the
height of buildings in the city. Northern Virginia is a hotbed of real
estate development, and plots of land of 30 or more acres go for a
massive
premium to builders ready to sell about 40 houses per acre. It is the
OBS,
the One Big Score, rivaling a hit album, or a string of them, in the
financial payday it delivers.
Put simply, you'd be an irresponsible fiduciary to adopt a
conservation
easement on your land.
On the other hand, it is not uncommon for an owner to choose to do
so.
Why?
They have a long-term perspective on their role in the community.
They know
they at most use the land during their lifetime, and they want to
preserve
its place in the "commons" that surround us.
The move to The Plains has been a journey from ME to WE, from the
ego-sphere
of Hollywood to the community grain silo, the volunteer fire
department and
a wave of the hand to and from the neighbors who share this valley. I
can't
remember my neighbors in Los Angeles; already I cannot forget those
who
share this place between the mountains.
So I guess I get the Creative Commons. Or I hope to. Or there is
hope that I
might, and that some of it may rub off on our son. And as I write
this, as
the fading twilight of The Plains reflects off the pond, Creative
Commons
makes sense. These songs, like this land, are ours for a time, and
there
comes a time we should pass them on to the community.
The Creative Commons story has many altruistic and pragmatic
readings. Jim's story above adds one of the former. In the same
thread Lucas Gonze adds an insightful
rendition of the latter:
My own perspective on CC is that it doesn't matter whether licenses
declare that files are redistributable or anything else in particular.
What matters is that there is legal metadata.
A big part of the current impasse is caused by the need to automate
clearances. We need to be able to write programs which look up
rights, or at the least have a computer assisted method for looking
them up by hand.
About the plains, conservationism and altruism, I personally don't
see open media (or code) that way. Making your media more open gives
you certain practical benefits, and if it isn't the selfish thing to
do then you shouldn't do it.
Either, or, neither? Make up your own story. Keep those ideas
around for the next contest. (None planned at the moment!)

Creative Commons UK: will it flower?
Creative Commons UK: will it flower?
04/06/2005 07:37 AMCory Doctorow:
Edward sez, "Becky Hogge has written an excellent article about the
launch of Creative Commons in the UK. She discusses the problems faced
by CC in the UK, the institutions supporting it like the BBC, and how
Creative Commons will become a household name in the UK."
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), the most influential
public service content provider in the world, has been behind the
project from the start and is using the Creative Commons ideology as a
lynchpin for its core digital project, the Creative Archive. Beyond
this, institutions such as OfCom, Research Councils U.K., JISC, the
Museums Libraries and Archives Council, The National Health Service,
and the British Library are all making mention of CC in policy
documents mapping the future dissemination of knowledge and culture.
It may just represent good timing, but Lawrence Lessig's thinking has
emerged as a framework for a country looking to maintain its lead role
as a global content provider in the digital age.
By contrast, the commercial creative industries have raised the kind
of misinformed objections to Creative Commons that will be tiresomely
familiar to those engaged in the IP debate in the States. Although,
during his research, Tsiavos received a warm welcome from many of the
U.K.'s copyright revenue collecting societies, themselves keen to
modernise practice for the digital age, the music business press in
particular have been incredibly skeptical about the value of Creative
Commons. Key concerns voiced have been that Creative Commons somehow
undermines traditional copyright protection, that through taking part
in what is in the U.K. a novel "registration process," creators may
unwittingly give away their rights irrevocably, and also, in a
wonderfully pitched recursive argument, that signing a CC licence
could result in musicians being discounted by a music business hostile
to CC. For the time being at least, the idea that, as Tsiavos puts it,
"commons are not against markets; they only create new ones" appears
to be falling on deaf ears.
