Leigh - good questions.  I'm actually wondering if the NC, ND constraints are as inhibiting as you're portraying them to be. I thought that NC meant that video couldn't be redistributed for commercial gain (as in appropriated by a 3rd party who then charged for access). If the video were instead put up on a commercial website that was freely available to anyone, as the YouTube distribution represents, then isn't the NC restriction still preserved?  Wouldn't that still allow you to distributed it through your own unveristy website, for example? Why does it prevent you from putting it up on other commercial video sharing sites, as long as the access to it remains 'free' to the general public?

The ND clause to me is understandable but not necessarily helpful. I can see Project Litto wanting to preserve the editorial integrity of the video the produced. Mashups, re-edits, clips etc., challenge they're initial storytelling intent. On the otherhand, that's exactly what I hoped this would foster - creative mashups that allowed this material to be leveraged, not with the intent of changing the message or in its most cyncial interpretation used to express an entirely different message from the original contributors intent, but with the idea of localising better in different contexts. The ND clause is indeed a heavy handed way of preventing that, and I have to agree, unncessarily restrictive. 

Regards,
Phil

I'm interested why/how the video came to wear the license Non Commercial and No Derivatives? I saw no content within it that forced that...

Tama encouraged educational media producers, even students to use more liberal licenses, but was left high and dry by the producers of this video, looking slightly hypocritical as a result. 

The Non Commercial restriction prevents me loading it to other commercially sustained video sharing sites, certainly most educational institutions these days, perhaps that was precisely the reason, this is the Australian education sector after all.. The No Derivative restriction prevents transcriptions, translations, sub titling, or maybe even copying it into an open standard format. Certainly I can't do anything with it but watch it at the location prescribe by the College. 

I don't mean to be harsh, but how does the College, with a pretty high percentage of funding from Australian taxes, justify these restrictions? How did Tama come to give release for recordings of his face and words in this? Especially when it portrays the producers, and even Tama by association, as being more conservative than the Australian Government these days! 

There must be a reason, I'd like to know, it wasn't apparent in the video.

Hi Catherine,

Glad it looks useful for your purposes. :) The point of the videos is
to share them, so obviously you can embed the YouTube video right now
if you want to.  The video us up under a CC license (BY NC ND), but if
you want a decent quality version, you might want to contact the COFA
team who filmed and made the videos.  The main contact person for this
is Simon McIntyre (LTTO Project Leader) s.mcintyre AT unsw.edu.au (Phone
+61 2 9385 0631).

Cheers,
Tama
