*Barriers to Sharing Lowered by Creative Commons Licenses in Thailand*
*April 2, 2009 -- Bangkok, Thailand and Berlin, Germany
Creative Commons Thailand has adapted the Creative Commons licenses to Thai
law. The localized licenses, launching April 2, enable Thai creators to
easily share creative works by lowering legal barriers and prohibitive
transaction costs.*
The Thai team, led by Mr. Phichai Phuechmongkol of Dharmniti Law Office
(DLO), conducted the porting and public discussion of the Thai licenses with
local and international legal experts. These efforts draw upon partners
working pro-bono on the project from DLO, Change Fusion Institute, Thammasat
University, and Prince of Songkla University, with generous support from the
Thai Health Promotion Foundation's ICT Plan for Online Health and Partner
Support.
The localized licenses, the fifty-first completed worldwide, are the result
of close collaboration with Creative Commons International, the coordinator
of Creative Commons' global projects.
In a statement on the launch's importance, CC Thailand explains, "Adoption
of the six core Thai licenses will lead to a cordial climate for sharing
knowledge and creative works. This climate is especially desirable in a
developing nation such as Thailand, whose citizens are dedicated to a
culturally sustainable society that is also open to integration and
cooperation. The Creative Commons licenses will help Thai society achieve
these goals by enabling practical and reasonable copyright protection, while
facilitating the sharing, distribution, use, and adaption of creative
works both existing and newly-created."
The launch will be held at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre on April 2
from 1:00-4:00pm. It will feature a seminar on Free Culture and Open Models
of Digital Distribution and a CC showcase. Project Leads Phichai
Phuechmongkol and Sunit Shrestha will conduct opening remarks, followed by
speeches from key supporters: Wanchat Padungrat (Pantip.com), Supap
Rimthepathip (Creative New Media Network), and award-winning author Prabda
Yoon.
CC Thailand also announces its outreach campaign. "This launch does not mark
the end of our efforts. Rather, it is the beginning of an ambitious campaign
to promote the licenses for Thai creators. Our network will reach out to
diverse content providers and present them with the concept of free and open
culture. We hope to eventually persuade them to revisit their licensing
policies and consider more flexible, reasonable solutions like Creative
Commons."

*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, 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.
