1. EL COMUNICADO DE PRENSA

Microsoft and Creative Commons Release Tool for Copyright Licensing
The organizations announce availability of Microsoft Office add-in
that enables easy access to Creative Commons copyright licenses.

Redmond, WA, USA; San Francisco, CA, USA – June 20, 2006

Microsoft Corp. and Creative Commons, a nonprofit organization that
offers flexible copyright licenses for creative works, have teamed up
to release a copyright licensing tool that enables the easy addition
of Creative Commons licensing information for works in popular
Microsoft® Office applications. The copyright licensing tool will be
available free of charge at 
Microsoft Office Online, http://
office.microsoft.com, and 
CreativeCommons.org. The tool will enable
the 400 million users of Microsoft Office Word, Microsoft Office
Excel® and 
Microsoft Office PowerPoint® to select one of several
Creative Commons licenses from within the specific application.

"We're delighted to work with Creative Commons to bring fresh and
collaborative thinking on copyright licensing to authors and artists
of all kinds," said Craig Mundie, chief research and strategy officer
at Microsoft. "We are honored that creative thinkers everywhere
choose to use 
Microsoft tools to give shape to their ideas. We're
committed to removing barriers to the sharing of ideas across borders
and cultures, and are offering this copyright tool in that spirit."

"The goal of Creative Commons is to provide authors and artists with
simple tools to mark their creative work with the freedom they intend
it to carry," said Lawrence Lessig, professor of law at Stanford Law
School and founder of Creative Commons. "We're incredibly excited to
work with Microsoft to make that ability easily available to the
hundreds of millions of users of Microsoft Office."

"It's thrilling to see big companies like 
Microsoft working with
nonprofits to make it easier for artists and creators to distribute
their works," said Gilberto Gil, cultural minister of Brazil, host
nation for the Creative Commons iSummit in Rio de Janeiro June 23
through 25, where the copyright licensing tool will be featured. Gil,
who will keynote at the iSummit, has released one of the first
documents using the Creative Commons add-in for 
Microsoft Office.

The goal of the Creative Commons licenses is to give an author a
clearer ability to express his or her intentions regarding the use of
the work. The 
Microsoft Office tool allows users to choose from a
variety of Creative Commons licenses that enable an author to retain
copyright ownership, yet permit the work to be copied and distributed
with certain possible restrictions, such as whether or not the work
can be used commercially and whether or not modifications can be made
to the work. The full list of licenses available from Creative
Commons is available online at 
http://creativecommons.org/about/
licenses/meet-the-licenses. The tool also provides a way for users to
dedicate a work to the public domain.

"Microsoft's openness in working with the Creative Commons is a very
exciting because an author can now easily embed licenses to creative
works during the process of innovation," said Ian Angell, professor
of Information Systems at the London School of Economics (LSE). "This
is an important step in ensuring that each individual becomes aware
of his or her own intellectual property rights — and those of others.
We at the LSE are keen to work with Microsoft toward empowering the
'creators of intellectual wealth' to become more involved in its
commercial use." The LSE partners with Creative Commons to drive
Creative Commons license adoption and awareness in England and Wales.

"Creative Commons licenses are essential for protecting my creative
work and for sharing it with others. They help with copyright issues,
which frees me to do my job: making movies. I'm glad Microsoft Office
users can now so easily use Creative Commons' tools," said Davis
Guggenheim, director of the documentaries "An Inconvenient Truth" and
"Teach" and member of the board of directors of Creative Commons.

"The collaboration of Microsoft and Creative Commons to bring
Creative Commons licenses to 
Microsoft Office applications
underscores how for-profit companies and nonprofit organizations can
work together to bring innovative ideas and tools to the public,"
said Alan Yates, general manager of the Information Worker Division
at Microsoft.

Microsoft and Creative Commons partnered with 3sharp LLC, a Redmond-
based independent solution provider to develop and test the copyright
licensing tool.

2. Tanto en las listas de CC Argentina como en CC Chile se han hecho comentarios de apoyo y de critica que podrian revisarse por el interesado. 

3. Dicen que en el isummit hubo una presentacion de los ad-inns de Microsoft http://www.alt1040.com/archivo/2006/06/23/isummit-06-microsoft-y-creative-commons/
 pero yo no los vi... que conste que fui a todo lo que mas pude, pero algo tenia que pasarse. Eso si hubo un par de comentarios de expositores de CC (directivos) en los que basicamente se resalta el hecho de que la herramienta sea diferente del contenido que con ella se cree y que es una decision estrategica para dar mas acceso a la gente a las licencias. El primer documento en llevar esta forma fue el discurso de Gilberto GIl en el iSummit 
http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/5948

4 OPINION PERSONAL: Usada como una estrategia para alcanzar mas usuarios es algo interesante, sin embargo personalmente me hago eco de que un apoyo oficial de esta naturaleza podria o deberia ir unido a alguna estrategia para indicar como en ocasiones este tipo de herramientas cerradas pueden evitar usos legitimos del derecho de autor o de las propias libertades que con esta licencia se da al destinatario. Durante el isummit escuche a Cory Doctorov explicando como el creia que se podia vincular al ad inn un elemento que permitiera identificar las opciones autorizadas por la licencia con la forma final que el autor da a la obra, por ejemplo si en el formato final se prohibe la impresion o la copia o la modificacion deberia el mismo programa indicarle a la persona que ese formato es incompatible con las libertades garantizadas en la licencia y no permitir que el documento salga con la licencia. Personalmente me parecio interesante, pero hago la aclaracion que son ideas que han surgido para hacer mas equitativo el proceso pero no es como efectivamente se viene dando.

Gracias por la noticia!!

Carolina

En otro momento comentaré las apreciaciones de Carolina sobre el proyecto, pero por ahora y sin ser penalista para nada, me gustaria saber si alguien tiene claro lo del aumento de penas.

 

Lo digo pues le he escuchado a algunos colegas, que el proyecto no va a cumplir su cometido de la no excarcelación al elevar las penas de dos a cinco años de cárcel,a cuatro a ocho años.

 

Como les digo, no soy penalista pero aparentemente la Corte Suprema ha dicho que un delito llega a no ser excarcelable si la pena es de cuatro años Y UN DIA. Al quedar solo en 4 años, seguiria siendo excarcelable. ¿alguien sabe si lo que digo es cierto?

Saludos

Subject: [Cc-co] reforma codigo penal

Desde ayer he 'posteado' tres articulos sobre el proyecto de ley que cursa en el Congreso para reformar las sanciones penales por derechos patrimoniales de autor. Con la idea de que les puede interesar y que me encantaria escuchar las opiniones de ustedes les dejo los enlaces.
En uno analizo el ilógico penal de la reforma que se propone ( se publicó en equinoxio.org), en otro presento los argumentos que acató el Congreso sin ningún cuestionamiento ( corresponde al texto que publiqué en mi blog ayer ) y en el tercero utilizando como ejemplo aspectos de la educación presento un acercamiento a consecuencias de decisiones que se ignoran al momento de adoptar políticas estatales como lo es elegir los delitos que reforzamos ( fue publicado en el blog de AprenderLaLibertad).
Carolina
