Developing Nations license launched

Developing Nations license launched 09/13/2004 06:39 PM

Today the Creative Commons launched a new standalone license, dubbed Developing Nations. The deed lays it out simply: it's an attribution-only license that applies within developing nations. The le gal code defines developing nations as "any nation that is not classified as a 'high-income economy' by the World Bank." which according to the World Bank's site means it does not apply in these countries.

This license can be used in a few ways. It can be combined with something currently licensed under a more restrictive license, so that your photographs could be protected from commercial use in the United States, but if it also carried a Developing Nations license, those same photos could be used commerically in say, Brazil. You might also be a musician or photographer that wants to maintain full copyright in North America and Western Europe, but welcome use by others in the countries of Southeast Asia. More information can be found in today's press release.

More information can be found in today's press release.

This is a very important development. People have been asking for this. Many people choose non-commercial use because they worry about NBC or CBS ripping off their work. This provides the ability for countries with less Internet penetration to allow local entrepreneurs to print and distribute things that would not reach many of these people otherwise.

Developing nations shouldn't respect US
copyright unless farm subsidies end

Developing nations shouldn't respect US
copyright unless farm subsidies end 01/16/2004 11:35 AM
Lessig points out that the US spent a hundred years ripping off everyone else's copyrights and now expects that no one else will ever do the same: moreover, we're demanding onerous IP regimes from developing nations in the name of "free trade" even as we engage in unfair trade subsidies ourselves.

The dirty little secret, however, is that we don't respect the free trade rules that we impose on others. While the US sings the virtues of free trade to defend maximalist intellectual property regulation, we poison the free trade that developing nations care about most - agriculture - by subsidizing farming in the industrialized world to the tune of $300 billion annually. Rhetoric about family farmers aside, most of that money passes quickly to agribusiness. This is not Adam Smith; it is corporate welfare par excellence...

A block of powerful developing nations should first take a page from the US Copyright Act of 1790 and enact national laws that explicitly protect their own rights only. It would not protect foreigners. Second, these nations should add a provision that would relax this exemption to the extent that developed nations really opened their borders. If we reduce, for example, the subsidy to agribusiness by 10 percent, then they would permit 10 percent of our copyrights to be enforced (say, copyrights from the period 1923 to 1931). Reduce the subsidy by another 10 percent, then another 10 percent could be enforced. And so on.

The delegates at a U.N. conference on the Internet have decided that a "working group" should be set up to consider introducing more international oversight of the Internet and its administrative bodies (such as ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, a company that has a U.S. Commerce Department contract to coordinates Internet addresses and some other technical issues). At the conference, delegates from the developing countries were unsuccessful in getting the U.N. to take full administrative control of the Internet, although they did get a promise that ways will be explored to close the "digital divide" between richer and poorer nations. Eli M. Noam, who heads the Institute for Tele-Information at Columbia University, notes: "Even if it is not true, there is a perception that the U.S. government is running the Internet."

Aussie Upstart Challenges Microsoft for

“The Kangaroo Challenge is on”, Hughes says. WOWdesk, a product of the well-established Australian, Adapt IT firm has audaciously challenged not only Microsoft, but Yahoo and Google, and for that matter, every internet power that exists for ‘Internet Desktop Supremacy’. An ‘Internet Desktop’ is a new term for a place on the web where you can manage all your personal and even business data. Even though WOWdesk is relatively new, Adapt IT is not. They have been in the Internet business since 1995 and have some impressive credentials, like web-enabling the Australian Navy. [PRWEB Mar 31, 2005]
