Hi everyone,

vibewire.net, an independent youth-run media portal that allows young
people, Australia-wide, to publish articles on politics, media, arts,
society and personal issue, officially launched creative commons
licences as an option to their contributors.

the site, which uses a self-uploading page now gives contributors the
option to use a drop down menu of cc licences or to use the cc
licence generator when licensing their work.

Tom Dawkins, National Coordinator of VibeWire Youth Services who
operate Vibewire.net said, "Vibewire strongly believes in creating
more accessible ways for young Australians to both publish and access
creative content. Incorporating CC licensing into the site fits very
well with this philosophy."

"By clearing indicating on the site the legal rights the author
wishes to reserve and those they are happy to relinquish we are
promoting the dissemination of their content and ideas, which
ultimately is what we exist to do," he said.
