Te Papa uses a BY-NC-ND copyright license as the museum charges for
commercial use of its images through the Te Papa Picture Library.

This is a common practice to cover expenses in supply - and to generate
income to enable more items going online.

I tend to agree. It's much easier, rhetorically, to point out that CC
provides 'a range of licence options, ranging from more free to more
restrictive.'

Without denying the moralism that sometimes creeps into these
discussions, the case we make to CC neophytes is more often a pragmatic
one. The case against All Rights Reserved is not that it's evil, but
that it simply doesn't suit most fields of cultural practice, (including
education, government, research, most areas of the arts). The case for
CC is not (just) that it's the right thing to do, but that it can make
one's job/life easier. The inflection of 'freedom' is thus more
technical than moral: you can simply do more with CC-BY than CC-BY-NC-ND
or ARR.

And I agree that 'sharing' can sound a little cuddly, but it's also a
pretty good description of quite a lot of online cultural practice.

Yes, a more nuanced, historically informed theory of culture would be
useful. It would be nice to have a history which showed the links
between Lessig's theory of 'culture' and those going back to the late
18th century, in the style, say, of 'Culture & Society.' Any takers?

Jane recently pointed me to this, though it's extremely out of date
(2010), and is taken from search engines:
http://monitor.creativecommons.org/New_Zealand

>> And how much reuse there is actually occuring

Not sure of any research on this from Aotearoa.

Cheers,
