“知识共享”，一种倡导合法共享、“保留一些权利”的知识产权实现方式。 “中医医学”，中华民族独有的医学文化。 前者2006年刚刚正式登陆中国大陆，而后者早已伴随中华民族数千年的风雨历程。中医，既被视为一种独特的诊疗方式也是一个充满象征意义的文化符号。出现在新石器时代晚期充满神秘色彩的东方古国的她，以自身的显著疗效在现代社会与西方医学不断进行着博弈。 为了促使中医药非物质文化遗产得到更好的传承与保护，展示中医文化悠久的历史，弘扬我国优秀传统文化，促进中西方文化的交融，促使中医传统文化资源合法有序在世界范围共享与传承，由中国人民大学法学院主办，知识共享中国大陆项目、孔伯华国医学堂协办，“知识共享与非物质文化遗产保护之中医文化的传承论坛”将于2009年7月4日（星期六）下午14:00至17:30在中国人民大学明德法学楼601国际学术报告厅举行。 届时，来自法律界、中医界和传媒界等领域的人士将汇聚一堂，围绕“知识共享与非物质文化遗产保护”这一主题进行深入探讨。原最高人民法院知识产权庭庭长、国家法官学院蒋志培教授，孔伯华国医学堂创办人孔令谦先生，北京中医药大学黄作镇教授，原国家中医药管理局办公室主任王凤岐教授，知识共享中国大陆项目主任、中国人民大学法学院王春燕教授将分别从各自实务和研究领域出发进行主题演讲；由法学教授、医学专家、文化学者、传媒人士共同参与的嘉宾讨论环节将通过跨领域的思想碰撞和观点交流，为“中医文化的传承”这一经典命题带来无限启迪；更有十余位老中医亲临活动现场，以数十载的从医经历和理念为我们诠释“上医治国，中医治人，下医治病”的永恒真谛。相信这一交流过程定会为我们带来一场颇具启发性的思想和文化盛宴。 在本次论坛上，由化学工业出版社出版的中国大陆第一部采用知识共享协议的著作——《孔伯华中医世家医学传习录》，也将正式发布。届时，该书作者孔令谦先生和化学工业出版社俸培宗社长将共同为该书揭幕。这将使人们直接感受到经典的“中医文化”借助目前国际上通行的著作权行使方式——“知识共享”（Creative Commons）—— 去实现广泛的传播。 主题：2009“知识共享与非物质文化遗产保护”之“中医文化的传承”论坛 时 间：2009年7月4日下午14：00 – 17：30（星期六） 地 点：中国人民大学法学院 601国际学术报告厅 主 办 单 位：中国人民大学法学院 协 办 单 位：知识共享中国大陆项目、孔伯华国医学堂 支 持 单 位：化学工业出版社 资 助 单 位：福特基金会 请点击下载论坛日程。

在Commons News有一則新聞：英國政府出版品辦公室做了一項公眾對於授權詞彙認知的行為關係研究，其中71%的受訪者認為政府應該朝向鼓勵再利用這些著作。研究中分別以 Copyright 、 Crown Copyright 、 Click-Use Licence 、 Read Terms & Conditions 等不同意涵的授權詞彙去詢問受訪者，是否影響其使用意願。 報告中發現約有70%的受訪者看到「Copyright」這個詞彙時，會大大降低使用意願。整體研究所呈現出的結果，不難發現當詞彙中隱含額外金錢交易或是額外動作時，就會降低人們使用它的動機。不過，此項研究的詞彙分類，似乎稍嫌不夠細緻，如公共領域（Public domain）以及創用CC這類的公眾授權方式，並沒有獨立的來分析，所以無法清楚公共領域、創用CC這些字樣是否有助於鼓勵大家去使用著作。 新聞中也提到受訪者中有87%的人不認識創用CC授權中姓名標示的圖示，但是這只是初步的印象調查，而這項調查未來仍會持續進行。另外，本篇新聞的作者提到希望以後在測試創用CC授權詞彙認知時，應該將授權標示的圖樣與說明文字放在一起，因為該新聞作者認為創用CC授權在採用以及散佈時，大多都會將圖示以及人類讀的懂的文字一塊置放。...

Hoy, martes 30 de junio en el Bar Constitución (Constitución #61, Barrio Bellavista, Santiago) a las 21 hrs. y de manera gratuita, se viene una nueva fecha del ciclo Noa Noa Edición Netlabels. Y se viene con todo, pues uno de los netlabels más reconocidos de la escena nacional, Pueblo Nuevo, celebra su cuarto aniversario en esta ocasión. Y parece que tira la casa por la ventana. Al menos así adelantan en un comunicado de prensa:

Abriremos la tocata con la presentacion de Mika Martini, quien abordara el camino de la musica experimental, con una improvisacion a partir de grabaciones de campo, vocoder y samples, los cuales seran manipulandos, grabados y reproducidos en tiempo real. Posteriormente, Daniel Jeffs nos mostrara un adelanto de su proximo disco, donde fiel a su estilo ligado al minimal, ahora le introduce mayor cantidad de elementos bailables por medio de maquinas de ritmo y hardware dedicado. Luego, nuestro “super bajado” artista Francisco Pinto, nos deleitara con un set compuesto por temas de sus discos “Warm Milk” y “Boo Boo”, mas material nuevo de corte house-electro-dance que estara disponible en su proximo EP “Cherry” que lanzaran los colegas de Epa_sonidos en Julio. Finalizaremos con la presentacion de Sokio, quien nos agasajara con todo el beat, la favela funk y el electro de su disco “Columbia”, mas todo lo que sea necesario para celebrar la ocasion como se debe. En las visuales tendremos a nuestro colaborador habitual y “VJ oficial”: Oktopus.tv, quien ilustrara esta cantidad de ondas sonoras con el talento de su “live cinema”.

Bonus: Para quienes lleguen temprano tendremos chapitas conmemorativas para regalar; estara seguramente un nuevo disco de libre descarga disponible… y esperamos brindarles alguna sorpresa de ultimo minuto! Asi que estan todos invitados, no se lo pierdan!

Además, en la web de Noa Noa puedes encontrar una completa entrevista a Mika Martini, uno de los fundadores de Pueblo Nuevo, donde cuenta el papel que han tenido las licencias Creative Commons en su sello.

-¿Qué beneficios te trajo a ti y a los otros participantes de Pueblo Nuevo publicar sus trabajos bajo licencias Creative Commons?

-En estos cuatro años de corta pero intensa trayectoria, creo que los habitantes de Pueblo Nuevo hemos obtenido múltiples beneficios, cantidad de buenas experiencias y satisfacciones. Sin ir más lejos, hemos obtenido dos veces un premio Qwartz a la creación electrónica. Este año 2009, el disco Minimental de Pirata (alias de Antonio Díaz), licenciado bajo CC, ganó la categoría “Qwartz Descubrimiento” y le permitió a Antonio viajar una semana a París, Francia, con todos los gastos pagados, para recibir el reconocimiento del público, de la organización y de los demás artistas electrónicos que estaban en el evento. Pero más allá de estos casos excepcionales, la difusión de los discos que hemos editado ha permitido dar a conocer el trabajo de colegas y músicos desconocidos por el público, ya sea por lejanía geográfica o por estilo, como es el caso de los magallánicos Lluvia Ácida, el maestro Gustavo Becerra o el danés Lars from Mars, por nombrar sólo algunos de los más recientes. Creo que haber optado por Creative Commons nos permite ser parte de un movimiento global, del cual nos sentimos comprometidos: la cultura libre.

Creative Commons Korea and KAIST Graduate School of Culture Technology entered into bilateral collaborative relationship by signing an MOU on June 24.

 

GSCT is established with the intent to emphasize inter-disciplinary studies among technology, arts, business and design. And its curriculum is well customized to educate prospective leaders with the knowledge and skills covering the fields of developing science and technology that will develop the culture industry in Korea.

As of now, KAIST GSCT is to open its various academic content and research materials created by the graduate school to the public under CC licenses, building an archive site designed for it. Additionally, both parties agree to work together in multifaceted directions including the followings:

• Holding a series of seminars on the subjects related to sharing creative work on a regular basis 
• Exchanging personnel in research projects and other activities 
• Opening CC Korea sessions within KIST GSCT educational programs like Youth CT Experience Center

By taking coming projects with KAIST GSCT as a momentum, Creative Commons Korea hopes to see other domestic academic entities come together in making academic content open to facilitate free flow of ideas and information to create greater values for the Korean society as a whole.

Sincerely, CC Korea would like to extend gratitude to KIST GSCT for the opportunity for this partnership.

We thought those interested in public access to government data would be interested in this document put together by the Australia Bureau of Statistics, Informing the Nation - Open Access to Statistical Information in Australia. It was written as a submission to the Conference of European Statisticians run by the United Nations Statistical Commission and the Economic Commission for Europe in March this year.

It provides a great explanation of the history of their decision to make their main data resources available free for reuse by the public, which culminated in them applying a CC Attribution licence to their website in late 2008. It includes the details of their pricing policies, how they filtered their documents before release and their implementation strategy. But most importantly from our point of view, it provides an explanation of their reasons for using CC licensing, including an analysis of the appropriateness of the licences for government data and the value they can add to public resources.

Enjoy!

한국과학기술원(KAIST) 문화기술대학원과 업무협약 체결

지난 24일, CC Korea와 한국과학기술원(KAIST) 문화기술대학원의 업무협약식이 문화기술대학원에서 있었습니다.

문화기술대학원에서는 CCL을 기반으로 KAIST 내의 저작물에 대한 아카이빙 사이트를 구축하여 KAIST내의 다양한 학술 컨텐츠와 자료를 오픈하기로 하였습니다.

뿐만 아니라 저작물의 공유와 관련한 주제에 대한 정기 세미나 개최, 연구 및 활동을 위한 인적 교환 및 교류, KAIST에서 행하는 청소년문화기술체험센터 등의 교육 프로그램에 CC Korea 섹션의 개설 등 다양한 사업을 협력하기로 합의하였습니다.

한국과학기술원(KAIST) 문화기술대학원과의 다양한 프로젝트를 시작으로 국내의 학술 컨텐츠가 누구에게나 오픈 되어서 지식이 공유되는 문화가 국내에도 형성될 것으로 기대됩니다.

한국과학기술원(KAIST) 문화기술대학원에 감사의 말씀을 드립니다.

This afternoon the Economic Development and Infrastructure Committee of the Victorian Government handed down the final report of its Inquiry into Improving Access to Victorian Public Sector Information and Data. And it’s great news for CC - not only does the Committee recommend that Victorian public agencies adopt a uniform licensing system, they recommend that CC be used as the default licences for that system.

The report is particularly timely for the Victorian government. The bushfires disaster earlier this year revealed how closed and outdated government information management policies can be a real barrier to coordination and response in a national emergency.
<!--break-->
The recommendation doesn’t mean, of course, that everything from the Victorian government would necessarily be released under CC. There are always going to be materials that are more appropriate for more closed copyright models for privacy, public safety and commercial reasons. But the Committee does endorse evidence (provided by the GILF project) that 85% of government documents would be appropriate for CC licensing.

We haven’t finished reading the report yet, so we can give you a full rundown. But here are the relevant recommendations:

• Recommendation 11: That the Victorian Government develop a consistent copyright licensing system for use across all government
  departments

• Recommendation 14: That the Victorian Government adopt the Creative Commons licensing model as the default licensing system for the Information Management Framework.

• Recommendation 15: That the Victorian Government adopt a hybrid public sector information licensing model comprising Creative Commons and a tailored suite of licences for restricted materials.

If Victoria implements these recommendations, they’ll be in good company: President Obama, the Australian Bureau of Statistics and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation all already use CC licences for their material. Hopefully the Federal Government’s new Web 2.0 Taskforce will sit up and take notice of the Victorian report.

Professor Brian Fitzgerald speaking at Public Sphere #2: Government 2.0: Policy and Practice by trib

Even though it’s only been a few hours since our last post, we thought it was worth posting this breaking news from Senator Kate Lundy’s Public Sphere #2: Government 2.0: Policy and Practice.

Professor Brian Fitzgerald, ccAustralia Project Lead, has been named as a member of a new Government 2.0 Taskforce launched at the event by Minister for Finance and Deregulation, Lindsay Tanner MP. According to its website, the Taskforce is “made up of policy and technical experts and entrepreneurs from government, business, academia, and cultural institutions” who will advise the government on “increasing the openness of government through making public sector information more widely available to promote transparency, innovation and value adding to government information” and “encouraging online engagement with the aim of drawing in the information, knowledge, perspectives, resources and even, where possible, the active collaboration of anyone wishing to contribute to public life.”

There are a few names on the taskforce that might be familiar to CCers - including Mia Garlick, Assistant Secretary for the Digital Economy branch at the Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy and former General Counsel for Creative Commons International, and Seb Chan, Head of Digital, Social and Emerging Technologies at the Powerhouse Museum, who is largely responsible for the museum being a leader in open access in Australia and internationally.

Hopefully, this taskforce will help to speed up the adoption of best practice open access and open democracy policies more widely in the Australian public sector.

Senator Kate Lundy at Public Sphere #2: Government 2.0: Policy and Practice by trib

Even as we speak, Senator Kate Lundy is hosting the 2nd of her Public Sphere forums: Government 2.0: Policy and Practice. For those unfamiliar with Public Sphere, it’s an initiative by Senator Lundy’s office to provide online and offline spaces to facilitate discussion of topics of interest to both the general public and to the government. They’re using various different online technologies combined with offline forums, to try to provide the greatest opportunity for participation by people from around Australia. This week’s forum, which is being held at Parliament House in Canberra, focuses on, to quote the site, “how creating an even more participatory form of government in Australia will improve the effectiveness of public administration, enable communities to better help themselves, promote renewed engagement in the democratic process and enhance our capacity to respond to emerging complex social, geopolitical and environmental challenges”.

They have some great and prominent speakers, including CCau’s lead, Professor Brian Fitzgerald, and, judging by the Twitter feed (hashtag #publicsphere), there’s some lively debate going on. The whole event is being streamed live, and there’s an event wall with live Twitter, blog and Flickr streams.

On Thursday last week, Aged Care Queensland launched their new eMentoring Handbook CD Rom, designed to assist aged care workers with training and mentoring advice and opportunities. Excitingly, they’ve published the entire resource under a Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 Australia licence. This means the material on the CD Rom can be redistributed, remixed and repurposed.

The publication of a single CD Rom under a CC licence might not seem like a big step, but it’s one of the first examples Australia-wide of a community service organisation working at the ground level putting real time and thought into providing the most appropriate copyright policy for their resources. The licensing makes the CD Rom much more valuable to the community it is seeking to service. Not only can it be spread far and wide, aged care workers in the field can create customised versions for their regions, teachers and trainers can feel confident reproducing and distributing the information for their classes, and workers from other sectors can use it as the basis for eMentoring Handbooks relevant to their own workers. The whole licensing initiative is primarily due to Aged Care Queensland’s eMentoring Project Officer, Sarah Stewart - you can find her musings on the whole licensing process on her blog.

Michela Ledwidge of the experimental production house, MOD Films, has been honoured with the Peter Rasmussen Innovation Award at this year’s Sydney Film Festival. Many in the CC community will know Michela from her CC-licensed film project, Sanctuary (pictured above), which was one of the first fully-remixable films launched internationally, and which was given specific mention by the Sydney Film Festival jury in grating the award. Michela spent last week hobnobbing with other innovators in film at the first Open Video Conference in New York. For more information, see MOD Film’s press release.

國際科學週刊「Nature」在今年6月11日刊登了一篇有關H1N1流感基因起源與變種的研究，論文全名為"Origins and evolutionary genomics of the 2009 swine-origin H1N1 influenza A epidemic"，並以 Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-Share Alike licence 3.0釋出。該篇研究由多名來自香港、英國與美國等地的研究者合作撰寫。  事實上，今年三月由台灣創用CC計畫與其他機關合作籌備於中央研究院的人文社會科學館召開的「公共出資的科學資料與出版品的一般使用與授權學術研討會」，討論了許多有關許多科學資料的研究數據以及出版品提供給其他人使用的議題。因此，本篇研究不僅研究的是目前大眾相當關心的議題，也以創用CC釋出，確實提供了一個很好的例子，讓世界各國對於該疾病的認知應該有相當大的助益。  若是對該研究有興趣者，可以在「Nature」的網站上閱讀摘要，並同時可以下載該研究全文pdf檔。...

In 2006 won Adam Curry de eerste Creative Commons rechtszaak ooit. Toen had het roddelblad Weekend zonder zijn toestemming een aantal foto’s van zijn Flickr-account gebruikt. De rechtbank in Amsterdam oordeelde toen dat het gebruik door Weekend in strijd was met de niet-commercieel-voorwaarde in de door Curry gebruikte Creative Commons Naamsvermelding NietCommercieel-GelijkDelen-licentie.

Je zou dus eigenlijk mogen verwachten dat andere roddelbladen niet zo maar foto’s van Adam’s Flickr-account gaan overnemen, maar dit is precies wat er 2 weken geleden opnieuw gebeurde: Dit keer gebruikte Privé zonder toestemming van Adam een foto ter illustratie van een artikel in het nummer van 3 juni. Ook dit keer kwam Adam onmiddellijk in verweer tegen de inbreuk op de Creative Commons-licentie. Hij eiste 5000 euro aan schadevergoeding (die hij aan Stichting Warchild zou doneren) en de betaling van zijn advocatenkosten.

Privé leek hier in eerste instantie niks voor te voelen, maar sinds vandaag blijkt dat er weinig achter de stoere woorden van de Privé-hoofdredacteur zat en dat Privé alsnog met de voorwaarden van Adam akkoord is gegaan en de zaak geschikt heeft. In de woorden van de advocaat van Adam:

Beste Adam,

Het geschil tussen Telegraaf Tijdschriften Groep (”TTG”), uitgever van
onder meer het weekblad Privé, en jou is vandaag in der minne geschikt.

TTG betaalt aan jou een bedrag aan schadevergoeding en TTG heeft een
verklaring getekend dat zij (op straffe van een boete) in de toekomst geen
inbreuk meer zal maken op de auteursrechten van Adam Curry op de door hem op www.flickr.com gepubliceerde foto’s. De betaalde schadevergoeding wordt door jou gedoneerd aan Warchild en STOP AIDS NOW!

Het kort geding, gepland op 23 juni aanstaande, zal in het licht van
bovenstaande geen doorgang vinden.

Wij feliciteren Adam met deze uitkomst, die opnieuw aantoont dat de Creative Commons-licenties - waar nodig - voldoende juridische bescherming bieden om zich tegen oneigenlijk gebruik van eigen werken te verzetten!

Riceviamo segnalazione, che volentieri pubblichiamo, di un evento volto alla promozione e diffusione del software open source, ma anche delle Licenze Creative Commons.
L'iniziativa, chiamatata torinOpen, si terrà (nella sua prima edizione) domenica 21 giugno, presso il Museo di Scienze Naturali di Torino, in Via Giovanni Giolitti 36, a partire dalle ore 19.00.

It’s official - Remix My Lit has released it’s first publication: Through the Clock’s Workings.

Those who have been following our blog will remember the beautifully simplistic premise of the Australia Council funded Remix My Lit project - take stories from 9 prominent Australian authors, release them for remixing under a Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial ShareAlike licence, and see what happens.

Through the Clock’s Workings gives us a taste of the result. Published by the Sydney University Press, this anthology brings together the original 9 stories - from authors such as James Phelan, Cate Kennedy and Kim Wilkins - with 13 of the best remixes. The remixes have a wide range of pedigrees - from masterclasses at writers festivals, writing jams at pubs, random site uploads. And the diversity is great - there are poems, abridgements, gender switches, complete re-imaginings. Even the cover of the the book you can see above is a remix of the stories by the excellent artist Ali J.

And of course, thanks to the CC licence, the whole book is available for remixing too - the original stories, the remixes, even the fonts are free for reuse. It’s all part of the ongoing conversation between author and reader, creator and, well, creator.

You can buy a hardcopy of the anthology now from the Sydney University Press eStore - it makes a great present and has a fabulous cover. Or if you’re comfy with reading from screens download the electronic version.

And remember, the anthology is just part of the story. Dozens more remixes are available on the Remix My Lit website, and (with any luck) more will continue to be added over the years). So why not continue the conversation and try some remixing yourself?

Švedska kolektivna organizacija za upravljanje sorodnih pravic izvajalcev STIM je svojim članom ponudila možnost, da svoja dela ponudijo pod Creative Commons licenco za poizkusno dobo dveh let. Licenca omogoča ustvarjalcem, da svoja dela ponudijo v nekomercialno rabo. Predstavnica STIM Ingrid Herrström je pojasnila, da želijo kot sodobna organizacija ustreči povpraševanju njihovih članov, ki so že večkrat izrazili željo po uporabi CC licenc. “Storimo to, kar želijo naši člani” je med drugim izjavila ga.

Satellitenbilder der Erde haben den Nachteil, dass dieselben Orte aus der Homo-Sapiens-Perspektive meistens ganz anders aussehen. Google hat darauf mit StreetView reagiert, es geht aber auch frei lizenziert, so zu sehen bei “geograph“: Das Projekt will für jeden Quadratkilometer Deutschlands mindestens ein Foto sammeln und orientiert sich dabei am britischen Vorbild. Die Bilddaten werden unter CC-BY-SA ins Netz gestellt und können daher später auch kommerziell weiterverwendet werden - ganz im Sinne des echten Free Licensing. Noch gibt es viele weiße (bzw. grüne) Flecken auf der geograph-Deutschland-Karte, also ist Mitmachen angesagt.

In RiP: A remix manifesto, Web activist and filmmaker Brett Gaylor explores issues of copyright in the information age, mashing up the media landscape of the 20th century and shattering the wall between users and producers. The film’s central protagonist is Girl Talk, a mash-up musician topping the charts with his sample-based songs. But is Girl Talk a paragon of people power or the Pied Piper of piracy? Creative Commons founder, Lawrence Lessig, Brazil’s Minister of Culture Gilberto Gil and pop culture critic Cory Doctorow are also along for the ride. A participatory media experiment, from day one, Brett shares his raw footage at opensourcecinema.org, for anyone to remix. This movie-as-mash-up method allows these remixes to become an integral part of the film. With RiP: A remix manifesto, Gaylor and Girl Talk sound an urgent alarm and draw the lines of battle. Which side of the ideas war are you on?
Running time; 85mins. Written and Directed by Brett Gaylor.

Fission Chips is Book 4 from our favourite scribbler, MCM. 8 to go!

Gare Marx has been a PI for all of five minutes when he discovers he sucks at it. The mob wants money he never borrowed, he’s suspected of murdering someone he hasn’t met, and he’s hired to find a woman who may be involved in some extremely shady business. That, and his secretary is an amoral jiu jitsu-loving sociopath.

With only hours before his life is ended in multiple (possibly concurrent) horrible ways, he has to dig up the courage and/or resources to solve the case(s), before the cases “solve” him.

May 21, 2009 — Novel — Ages 15+

Fission Chips is a serialized detective mystery with a twist. Every week, you, the readers, get to vote on what Gare should do next. There’s a complex storyline just below the surface that is working on auto-pilot, waiting for you to interfere. And to further complicate things, FiftyWordStories.com’s Tim Sevenhuysen is The Antagonizer, in charge of complicating events every time you get close to solving one of the threads.

Session blurb

Copyright is one of the many legal complexities non-profits encounter in their day to day operation. Knowing what you can and can’t do with the content you use and create is confusing, but is a necessary evil. Creative Commons is one tool available to non-profits to help make sense of this area of law. At the core of the Creative Commons project is a suite of standardised copyright licences, freely avaialble to creators, that foster sharing and collaboration. Creative Commons builds upon the all rights reserved of traditional copyright to create a voluntary some rights reserved system. There is a whole range of content out there that is available on more flexible terms than traditional copyright. Elliott aims to give you the information you need to gain access to these resources and ma
