If you know others that should be included in this list, please drop an email to patrick DOT luxcommons AT gmail DOT com. I’m sure there’s more, a Google search for the phrase “creative commons” in the Luxembourg web gives nearly 2 million hits!

Unlocking the Potential through Creative Commons

Jessica Coates from the CCi mailinglist:

I am very pleased to announce the release of a new report by the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation (CCi) and Creative Commons Australia – Unlocking the Potential Through Creative Commons: An Industry Engagement and Action Agenda.

This report draws upon the CCau Industry Forum, a research-focused industry engagement event hosted by CCi in November 2006. The event was designed to follow up a recommendation in the Australian Government’s 2005 Digital Content Action Agenda report that the industry should “engage with work occurring in the area of alternative approaches to intellectual property licensing, such as Creative Commons”. Focusing on the government, education and the creative industries sectors, the Forum aimed to evaluate understanding of and attitudes towards copyright, open content licensing (OCL) and the Creative Commons initiative within Australia.

The Unlocking the Potential Through Creative Commons report evaluates and responds to the outcomes of this Forum and presents a strategy for continued research into Creative Commons in Australia. Full copies of the report can be downloaded here.

Der zweite Korb – Enfin!

En discussion depuis septembre 2003, voici la version 2.0 de la loi sur les droits d’auteurs allemande, commentée par le magazine c’t allemand. Notamment, il y a de nouvelles restrictions pour les bibliothèques et l’information scientifique. Pour ces domaines essentielles pour l’innovation et le progrès le droit d’auteur revient maintenant à ce que des commentateurs ont appelé: “Obligation d’utiliser des chevaux pour tirer les Ferrari”.

CISAC Copyright summit presentations

The CISAC (Umbrella organisation for music collecting societies) put up speeches, audio and video of their first Copyright Summit, held in Brussels on the 30-31st May. (For video, this link is best). A pretty good overview of an industry in transition.

Some choice bits:

BT CEO Ben Verwaayen (video)

He pleads that Collecting Societies represent a great industry, of which everyone wants to be part of. They should be afraid of this, as others want in and those will innovate, while CSs still hold onto their one-size-fits-them-all established model. If CSs can include “open, global and real-time” they’ll succeed, if not, they’ll be the masters of an ever shrinking world. (Note: CS believe that Telcos only want CS reform and competition to get their hands on cheaper content)

Debate: Creative Commons’ Larry Lessig and Bret Cottle (video)

Larry (as a representative of “open, global and real-time”) argues that CSs should open to more flexible models and recognize that there are models outside the commercial on. Cottle refutes on mostly philosophical grounds. (Ironically, this debate was available just one day after the conference on google video).

Arte Metropolis über CC

“Im Namen des Schöpfers”

Verhindert das Urheberrecht Kreativität und Kultur?

Das neue Urheberrecht sollte die „Verfassung des digitalen Zeitalters“ werden, doch Kritiker meinen, dass es weder Künstlern noch der Allgemeinheit nutzt – im Gegenteil gefährdet es vielmehr den kreativen Umgang mit dem kulturellen Erbe.

“Frankfurter Mahnung” des PEN: Hintergründe

“Mit einer entweder bewusst irreführenden oder von fachlicher Inkompetenz geprägten »Frankfurter Mahnung« haben sich die beiden großen deutschen Schriftstellerverbände P.E.N. und VS reichlich in die Nesseln gesetzt. In einem Dokument, das offenbar maßgeblich der Justitiar des Börsenvereins, Dr. Christian Sprang, erarbeitet hat, “…
