Hallo,

thanks for your great initiative at Creative Commons! This will do a great
deal to recover hidden art and knowledge for the public.

I'd like to propose a weak temporary license in addition to the ones already
available (sorry if it's already in the works; I had no time to read through
all the discussions).

Problem:
========
Most works are unavailable for 95 years on the average: (author time to
live) - (time to run out of stock) + 70 years (most places without Mickey
Mouse publishers).
Most unsuccessful authors and their heirs are reluctant to say farewell to
their bestselling ambitions, so they rather withhold their work instead of
letting it go.


Solution:
=========
Regulations of

http://creativecommons.org/license/results-one?lang=en&license_code=by-nd-nc
apply, plus additional restrictions:

- The owner of a copy may make copies for personal use, but may not give
them to others. (Everybody can download the work for her/himself, as long as
it is published on the Internet.)

- The online publisher (the person responsible for hosting the work) is
granted temporary publishing rights by the author (or the person holding the
rights to publish the work electronically). When the temporary publishing
rights are revoked, the online publisher has to remove the work from all his
web servers within 2(?) months.

- The online publisher has to provide the author (or owner of publishing
rights) with download statistics of her/his work though without complete IP
addresses (to protect privacy). Failure to do so automatically terminates
publishing rights within 6 months.
(This gives the author a chance to convince a commercial publisher of
continued interest in her/his work, provided the commercial publisher
believes the traffic isn't generated by the author.)


Please let me know what you think about this proposal.

Kind regards,
Toni


PS: Is it true there is no German iCommons group yet?
