Hi all, I’ve been thinking about the rhetorics that we’ve been using at Creative Commons Netherlands. I wanted to augment a Dutch text on the public domain starting from the idea of “Public Domain is the rule, copyright is the exception” from the public domain manifesto. I noticed that I got stuck in trying to explain that copyright protects its creators. Protects has such a positive connotation that I find it difficult to explain why public domain has so many merits. Instead of saying ‘copyright protects’ I thought about changing the explanation of copyright to ‘copyright limits use’. I was wondering if you have thoughts about this kind of rhetorics. Do you in your language/country/work say that copyright protects creators or that it limits use? Why did you adopt one form over the other and what kind of reactions did you get from using that kind of rhetorics?
