By Eric Sinrod,
Have
you heard of Creative Commons? If not yet, you may soon. Creative Commons
consists of a
Creative
Commons believes that “there is an unmet demand for an easy yet reliable way to
tell the world ‘some rights reserved’ or even ‘no rights reserved.’” Why?
Because “many people have concluded that all-out copyright doesn’t help them
gain the exposure and widespread distribution they want.” Instead, significant
numbers of artists and entrepreneurs prefer depending on “innovative business
models rather than full-fledged copyright to secure a return on their creative
investment.”
Thus,
a growing number of Netizens want to share their work on “generous terms.” This
is where Creative Commons comes into play, by offering a set of licenses on its
Website, http://creativecommons.org/license/,
free of charge.
Creative
Commons came into being understanding that “too often the debate over creative
control tends to the extremes.” On one end of the spectrum is a total control
paradigm, “a world in which every last use of a work is regulated and in which
‘all rights reserved’ (and then some) is the norm.” At the other end of the
spectrum is anarchy, “a world in which creators enjoy a wide range of freedom
but are left vulnerable to exploitation.” The people behind the concept of
Creative Commons became concerned that “balance, compromise and moderation -
once the driving forces of a copyright system that valued innovation and
protection equally” had devolved into “endangered species.”
Thus,
Creative Commons was born in 2001 with the goal of reviving these driving
forces. According to Creative Commons, its ends “are cooperative and
community-minded, but [its] means are voluntary and libertarian.” Creative
Commons seeks to offer creators methods to protect their works while also
encouraging certain uses of them. Bottom line, Creative Commons aims to “build a
layer of reasonable, flexible copyright in the face of increasingly restrictive
default rules.”
So,
how does this work? Creative Commons has developed a Web application that
assists people in dedicating their works to the public domain or to allow them
to retain their copyrights while licensing them for no charge for specified
purposes based on certain conditions. The Creative Commons licenses are not
designed for software, but instead are geared for other types of creative works,
such as music, film, photography, Web sites, and literature. Creative Commons
also has developed metadata that can be implemented to associate “creative works
with their public domain or license status in a machine-readable way.”
Thus,
for online works, a creator can apply for a Creative Commons license from the
Creative Commons Web site for a work by choosing the license that applies based
on preferences. The selection will guide instructions to include html code to
the work that will automatically generate the “some rights reserved” button with
a statement that the work is licensed under a Creative Commons license or a “no
rights reserved” button if the work is selected to be put into the public
domain.
Creative
Commons is gaining use and notoriety among prominent creators. For example, in
May of this year, Creative Commons announced that Pearl Jam’s new single “Life
Wasted” was to be offered to the public under its
Attribution-Non-Commercial-NoDerivs license, enabling people internationally to
copy, distribute and share the clip legally.
Furthermore,
in the same month, under the Creative Commons
Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike license, people were able to legally remix
and share their own personal versions of two different songs from the album “My
Life in the Bush of Ghosts” by David Byrne and Brian Eno.
It
does appear that Creative Commons is offering the “flexible copyright” copyright
options that it envisioned at the outset. Time will tell whether it will inspire
a true movement that gains more and more momentum.
