Creative Commons Europe







Creative Commons Europe

Creative Commons Europe 03/22/2005 04:43 PM

I 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.)

Creative Commons 2.0 05/26/2004 04:43 PM

After considering a lot of the feedback and statistics from the original Creative Commons licenses, we (I personally was only a small part of this) have launched the 2.0 licenses which I think make them easier to use and easier to understand. Congratulations and thanks to the team for all the work and an excellent step forward.

Creative Commons and The Plains


Creative Commons and The Plains 08/06/2004 05:00 PM

There'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 AM
Cory 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.

Digital 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."

Support Creative Commons


Support Creative Commons 12/19/2004 02:55 PM

Friends 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.

ou can help make Creative Commons and "some rights reserved" household phrases. Visit http://creativecommons.org/ support/ and you'll find out how you can make your contribution via PayPal, Amazon's Honor System, or by sending a check to Creative Commons at 543 Howard Street, 5th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94105.

Thank you for your support. It's not the commons without you.

Connecting two projects together - teh Creative Commons has put into beta a servcie which uses the open source spider/search engine - 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....

Creative Commons ships 2.0 licenses


Creative Commons ships 2.0 licenses 05/26/2004 04:34 AM
The new Creative Commons licenses are out -- whaoo! The new licenses clarify and refine the initial terms of the 1.0 licenses, and CC has posted good, clear commentary explaining the changes.
Unlike the 1.0 licenses, the 2.0 licenses include language that makes clear that licensors' disclaim warranties of title, merchantibility, fitness, etc. As readers of this blog know by now, the decision to drop warranties as a standard feature of the licenses was a source of much organizational soul-searching and analytical thinking for us. Ultimately we were swayed by a two key factors: (1) Our peers, most notably, Karl Lenz, Dan Bricklin, and MIT. (2) The realization that licensors could sell warranties to risk-averse, high-exposure licensees interested in the due diligence paper trial, thereby creating nice CC business model. (See the Prelinger Archive for a great example of this free/fee, as-is/warranty approach.) You can find extensive discussion of this issue in previous posts on this blog. (See Section 5.)

flickr, a photo management/social network/community/chat service just integrated Creative Commons so you can choose a license for a photo when you upload this. This is awesome. flickr integrates photos into your chat so that you can plop photos into a chat room from your shoe-box and copy photos into your shoe-box from a conversation. People can comment on the photos, etc. It's probably the best integration of photos in conversation that I've ever seen and now with Creative Commons, it should make feel safer and more fluid.

Nice job Stewart!

Book Party at Creative Commons 07/31/2004 05:09 PM
J.D. Lasica and Brian Dear were among the folks who came to last night's gathering celebrating the book launch and the relocation of Creative Commons to its new offices in San Francisco. I was honored by the presence of so many fine folks. The book was published under a Creative Commons license, permitting non-commercial use of the material as long as people give it proper attribution and add their "remixes" back into the world under a similar license. (The book will be online in full very soon on the publisher's official site.) In my brief remarks to the folks who'd gathered last evening, I talked about the great value Creative Commons is giving to all of us, by doing its part to restore a tiny bit of balance in the copyright regime. I doubt many publishers would have allowed me to live up to what I've been saying on copyright these past few years, and I'm grateful that I have a publisher who totally gets it.

Imagine a circumstance where someone was building a weblog aggregator like Haddock Blogs, but imagine for a moment that they were doing it with the full text of other people's weblog entries, sectionalised by theme and with the name of the writers put by them (like a byline), but without any link back to the site where they originated. You might have to look pretty close to realise that the posts didn't originate on the aggregator site in the first place. That would seem, well, wrong to me - like a kind of passing off. But as far as I can tell, there isn't a single Creative Commons license that wouldn't allow someone to do that with your work if they wanted to perfectly legally. There's something weird there about the nature of attribution on the web, I think, that maybe doesn't sit too well with the concept of attribution named in the Creative Commons licenses. Naming an author isn't enough to attribute online, you should be making a connection with them...

Using GPS on robots that will operate indoors has been a problem due to the difficulties of receiving weak GPS signals. Atmel and U-Bloc have addressed this problem with a specially designed GPS engine that Atmel calls the ANTARIS. When combined with special firmware developed by U-Bloc called SuperSense, the resulting sensor module can track GPS signals beyond -158 dBm. For more details see the Atmel press release or the U-Bloc press release. No pricing was announced for the ANTARIS/SuperSense chipsets but a full evaluation kit with enclosure, power supply, antenna, and serial interface is priced at $549. U-Bloc has also posted field test documentation (PDF format) of the module in a variety of indoor and automotive applications.

04/09/2004 09:17 PM
My friends over at Sputnik just launched a new, indoor/outdoor AP, the Sputnik AP 200. Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night shall stay these rugged, high-powered APs from distributing Wi-Fi for a distance of miles, with optional external antenna, of course.

The specs rock:

  • 200 mW transmit antenna
  • environmentally sealed and tested in temperatures ranging from -4° F to 158° F
  • works with a variety of directional and omni-directional antennas (Sputnik sells a bunch)
  • supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), so you can deploy them anywhere
  • uses transmit power control, so you can reduce interference and increase bandwidth
  • plug-n-play provisioning, making it a snap to grow your network
  • WDS repeater range of over 3 miles

Of course, the real magic is in the Sputnik Control Center software (disclaimer, I had something to do with developing it...) that lets you authenticate and track users centrally, and build a managed wireless network from the ground up just by plugging APs into broadband.

Best news of all: this baby is only $250. You can start a hotzone for as little as $595, which is the special price for a Sputnik AP 200, a Sputnik AP 160 and corresponding Sputnik Central Control license.

Great work, guys!
