[Cc-hk] About the Practical Workshop on the Use of CC Materials

Oh one more quick thing: I wonder if maybe we should change the first
sentence of the e-flyer to:

" Creative Commons <http://creativecommons.org/> licenses are copyright
licenses that let you share your work easily with other people all over the
world - by making it "some rights reserved" instead of "All Rights
Reserved."  "

I thought that putting it in slightly more conversational language would
appeal to students. Using "you" makes it more directly personal so that
people understand straight away that this is something they can use - it's
not just a legal theory lecture. Also, the fact that the license enables you
to share your work with others would probably gain greater emphasis if we
put it earlier in the sentence.

I'm one of those journalists who like to hit people over the head with the
first sentence when possible :)   However if anybody thinks that this
wording is not so good please suggest alternatives.
