There are three upcoming events on the CCau calendar:

WORKSHOP

Creative commons classroom: using cc material as teaching tools

Part of Create World 2007 (http://auc.edu.au/tiki-index.php?page=Create+World+2007)

Wednesday, 28 November, 10 - 11am

Speakers: Cat Hope, Edith Cowan University, Elliott Bledsoe, Creative Commons Australia and Jessica Coates, Creative Commons Clinic

Creating is learning. But the copyright fear-campaign has left many educators in the creative arts uncertain what they can use in their courses. Enter Creative Commons, an open content licensing system that grants world-wide prior permissions to use licensed material. That's a whole swag of stuff for educators. Join Creative Commons enthusiasts as they teach the teachers on how to use Creative Commons while (attempting to) create a collaborative production using whatever software is available (eg Garageband, iMovie, Pro Tools) and CC licensed material in just an hour!

FORUM

CCau Music Industry Forum

Part of Create World 2007 (http://creativecommons.org.au/ccmusicforum)

Wednesday, 28 November, 2 - 4pm

It is designed to provide a forum for the discussion of issues surrounding music licensing in Australia. The digital environment presents new opportunities for musicians and new business models for the distribution of music. Creative Commons licensing in particular has gained considerable favour with content producers world-wide. However the legalities and practicalities of releasing music under these new models can be complicated, particularly when you wish to combine them with more traditional collective licensing options (for further information visit http://creativecommons.org.au/musicinfo).

CONFERENCE

Digital technologies and legal issues

Part of Vibewire's New Connections conference (http://www.vibewire.org/newconnections/new-connections)

Friday, 30 November, for times check program

The growth of digital technology has opened up new possibilities for the creation and distribution of information and art. This has the potential to provide new opportunities for community sector organisations, and to vastly open up their reach and productivity. However, in order to reach this potential, a host of complex legal issues must be navigated, not the least of which arise from the management of content. This panel seeks to address some of these issues including copyright and censorship.
