Hong Kong Promotes Education, Creativity with Creative Commons' 50th Launch
Event*

*October 23, 2008 - Hong Kong and Berlin, Germany *

The localized Hong Kong licenses, launching October 25, will enable Hong
Kong creators to clearly and legally indicate the freedoms they wish their
creative works to carry. The launch marks the fiftieth Creative Commons
jurisdiction to celebrate the license porting.

When Creative Commons was founded in 2001, the core Creative Commons
licenses were drafted according to United States Copyright Law. Following
this initiative, global interest in the "some rights reserved" approach to
copyright led to the development of national versions of the Creative
Commons licenses. To achieve this aim, Creative Commons International (CCi)
works in collaboration with a network of legal experts and professionals to
build a free, multilingual licensing system that is legally enforceable in
jurisdictions around the world. Through a standard license porting process,
CCi and CC Project Leads have since ported the licensing suite to fifty
jurisdictions. As of July 2008, there are an estimated 130 million
CC-licensed works worldwide, and global license usage continues to grow.

On October 25, the Hong Kong launch will be held during an event
co-sponsored by the University of Hong Kong's Journalism and Media Studies
Centre and the Lee Shau Kee School of Creativity. Creative Commons founder
Prof. Lawrence Lessig and CC CEO Joichi Ito will open the ceremony. Their
keynotes will be followed by an open courseware presentation and a panel
discussion about how Hong Kong can improve education and promote creativity
through Creative Commons. The launch ceremony will be preceded by a
performance by the Hong Kong band Snoblind, who have issued a number of
their works under a Creative Commons license. After the launch, parallel
sessions will showcase workshops and performances from different creative
sectors, including the reading of a play, a bloggers' workshop, a music
workshop and two documentary workshops. For more information about the
launch please visit http://hk.creativecommons.org.

Legal Leads of CCHK, Dr. Yahong Li and Ms. Alice Lee of the University of
Hong Kong's Faculty of Law, conducted the porting process and public
discussion of the licenses with local and international legal experts and in
collaboration with CCi. The CCHK project is hosted by the Journalism and
Media Studies Centre at the University of Hong Kong, with Rebecca MacKinnon
serving as Public Lead. The work of CCHK is also supported by a Preparatory
Executive Committee chaired by Internet entrepreneur Mr. Pindar Wong and
comprised of members from different sectors in Hong Kong such as the IT
sector, education, media, the arts, and politics. The CCHK launch would not
be possible without the work of many enthusiastic community volunteers.

"At a time when Hong Kong is working to improve education and strengthen our
creative industries, I see CCHK helping to provide a firm foundation on
which to build Hong Kong's creative capital," says Pindar Wong, Chairman of
CCHK's Preparatory Executive Committee. "For example, in education, where
e-books can be developed and shared over the net using our licenses."

*About Creative Commons*

Creative Commons is a not-for-profit organization, founded in 2001, that
promotes the creative re-use of intellectual and artistic works, whether
owned or in the public domain. Through its free copyright licenses, Creative
Commons offers authors, artists, scientists, and educators the choice of a
flexible range of protections and freedoms that build upon the "all rights
reserved" concept of traditional copyright to enable a voluntary "some
rights reserved" approach. Creative Commons was built with and is sustained
by the generous support of organizations including the Center for the Public
Domain, the Omidyar Network, The Rockefeller Foundation, The John D. and
Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, and The William and Flora Hewlett
Foundation, as well as members of the public. For more information about
