licence group at The Beeb. Today sees the launch of the Creative
Archive Licence Group, a joint venture between the
BBC, the
Open University,
Channel 4 and
the
BFI to provide legal content to the (initially UK only) public
under
a
series of licences that are quite similar to those by
Creative Commons. Although at
present only a trial,
the project timetable looks
as though some good material will be made available.

06/02/2004 12:10 PMThe BBC's Creative Archive is well underway now and a group of
UK-based copyright activists and concerned license-payers have gotten
together to lend their support to the project. The Archive is a
project to put the BBC's enormous archive on the net for free viewing
and remixing by the license-paying public. If the Beeb pulls this off,
it will be the largest and most ambitious open-content project in the
history of the world; a shining proof of the idea that the sky doesn't
fall when you relax your copyright a little. I mean, we're talking the
future of public service broadcasting here.
So the Friends of the Creative Archive are a bunch of concerned people
who want to keep this on track. It's certain that there's going to be
a lot of opposition to this -- from rights-holders, commercial
broadcasters, even parts of the Beeb. But at the end of the day, the
license-payers bought that programming, and it's not doing us any good
sitting on the BBC's shelves.
You can help: if you're a license payer, you can join the Friends, and
there will be lots of opportunities in the near future to petition the
Beeb, the Governors, the DCMS and Parliament for this -- there's an
open letter now that you can sign onto.
Here are some of the elements critical to the creation of a real,
useful, relevant Creative Archive:
* It must be broad: drawing from all areas of the BBC's broadcasting
from factual to light entertainment, from drama to sport, and
everything in between.
* It must be accessible: files must be made available in open,
standards-defined formats without "digital rights management" or other
technology locks that will keep Britons from creatively re-using the
BBC's offerings.
* It must be free: Material should be licensed under conditions that
do not restrict any licence payer from accessing, storing, modifying
or sharing archive material for non-commercial use.
* It must be whole: Material should be provided in its entirety for
non-commercial use, not only in excerpted form.
* It must be soon: the BBC's own internally produced material should
be released into the Archive as soon as possible, to prove to the
world that the sky won't fall if you relax your copyright stance.
* It must be complete: the BBC should take steps to clear the rights
to the independently produced material in its archive.
* It must be sustainable: the BBC's new licensing agreements with
independents should all include the right for the BBC to make the
works available in the Creative Archive for full non-commercial use.

BBC Creative Archive launches, without

04/13/2005 11:51 AMCory Doctorow:
The BBC Creative Archive, a project to clear and distribute all of the
material in the BBC's vaults, has offcically launched -- DRM-free,
too!
Will the Creative Archive use DRM?
The Creative Archive will not be using DRM around the content. The
BBC's pilot site will be using a technology called GEOIP filtering to
ensure that content sourced directly from the BBC will only be
available to UK citizens.
Will I be able to get old Dr Who episodes?
Sadly you will not be able to get old Dr Who episodes in the early
days of the Creative Archive. However, it is hoped that the BBC will
in time be able to expand its contribution to the Creative Archive to
include programmes from all genres.

Cory Doctorow:
I've written here before about the BBC's Creative Archive project, an
ambitious undertaking meant to put everything in the BBC's vaults
(we're talking about stuff from the earliest days of radio up to Dr
Who and so on) online, with a Creative Commons license allowing
Britons to download, trade and remix the TV shows they paid for with
their TV tax.
I just wrote some testimony on EFF's behalf for the governmental
committee that's reviewing the BBC's charter, urging them to adopt the
BBC's request for a mandate to produce the Archive:
It's the dawn of a "creative nation" -- a Britain which, like many
other countries around the globe, makes use of the new tools to
actively participate in media, a nation of recasters and reworkers,
folk artists and appreciators of folk art.
The raw material of that creative nation need not be British.
Substantial parts of it will not be: Britain is a land of many
cultures, and the fusion of the art and culture of other lands is a
progressive step in Britain's ongoing multiculturalism.
But what if *none* of the materials of this new British folk culture
is, indeed, British? What if the creative nation relies upon material
from abroad as the raw ingredients for the popular new medium?

BBC affirms Creative Archive in Charter
Renewal plans
06/29/2004 07:36 AMThe BBC has submitted its Charter Renewal documents to the UK
Government, outlining its plans for the next ten years. It's a long
and comprehensive document, and most excitingly, it describes a free
and open Creative Archive intended to provide Britons with access to
the material in the BBC's vaults for free viewing, remixing and reuse.
Imagine being able to view and listen -- and even download and own --
extracts from the world's largest television and radio archive.
53% of internet users download content for their own compilations 55.
For the first time, the BBC will open up its treasure chest of
programmes to the public who own it and make its contents available
to individuals and to families for learning, for creativity and for
pleasure. Two-thirds of current and prospective broadband users say
they are interested in the Creative Archive service.
The BBC Creative Archive will establish a pool of high-quality content
which can be legally drawn on by collectors, enthusiasts, artists,
musicians, students, teachers and many others, who can search and use
this material non-commercially. And where exciting new works and
products are made using this material, we will showcase them on BBC
services.
Initially we will release factual material, beginning with extracts
from natural history programmes. As demand grows, we are committed to
extending the Creative Archive across all areas of our output.

12/06/2003 12:25 AMRishab writes: I've prepared a table comparing the $560 cost of a
single windows + office licence to GDP/capita for 176 countries and
some geographical aggregates. In India, GDP/capita is $462 so the
licence cost of windows is 14.5 months of average income, translated
into US terms that's $42725. Not surprisingly, the higher this
effective cost, the higher the BSA-estimated piracy rate. Read all

Microsoft has no licence for bad

09/03/2004 09:55 AMMicrosoft's demands for control of essential Internet standards belie
its commitments to security for all. The fight against spam is both
practical and symbolic. It directly affects our ability to benefit
from the Net, and it epitomises the balance between free access and
control. A new standard, Sender ID, makes it easier to reject email
that doesn't come from its purported source. It's not the magic
bullet, but it's certainly part of the gun. Yet Microsoft is actively
hindering the adoption of this standard. Uniquely among Internet
standards, Microsoft's restrictive licence is plainly incompatible
with open source, in theory and in practice. It can do this, the
company says, because it holds intellectual property -- in the form of
pending patents -- on basic ideas used in the standard, and thus it is
free to demand that anyone who incorporates the standard in a product
must comply with Microsoft's conditions. Ask the company why it needs
to make this demand and no good answer is forthcoming.
