Isn't it the method of attribution meant to be specified by the license?

I've found linking to the original problematic. In the case of Flickr CC images, where Flickr permits changes to the licenses, and if Pro accounts aren't paid each year, will make images unavailable, linking to an original on Flickr can become a problem.

A more reliable site is Wikimedia Commons. If an image from FlickrCC is copied there, a program will head over to the Flickr and record the license at the time, do any change on Flickr fits not compromise the image copied to Commons. Images that go offline at Commons are ones that volunteers have deemed not Free Cultural Works.

They do little however, to govern the moral rights of subjects in the images however, so in my practice I avoid using images of people.

Hi Paul,

I'm not sure I've followed all that, but here's a go at an answer:

There's surely more scope for 'how-to' guides. CC Australia have written a version of these guides, the last of which is how to attribute: http://creativecommons.org.au/learn-more/fact-sheets/creative-commons-licence-basics I've more or less followed that guide since I started at CC. Suggested improvements?

You're right that the links in the images aren't to any external site, but that's not how I chose to give attribution. The attribution is actually contained in the *caption*, as is the link to the CC licence. It wouldn't be hard to add a link to the image, if you think an extra link is worthwhile.

For the image, the UC CESIMIC Licence is neither here nor there: as a federated archive, they don't actually hold copyright to most of the content you can find on the site. The copyright to the image used there is by Ross Becker.

The UC CEISMIC logo is used with permission.

The licence to QuakeStories is an NZ licence: click on the link at the bottom: http://www.quakestories.govt.nz/

Our own Creative Commons licence, for the text, is at the bottom of the site.

That's my best effort at an explanation. Let me know what I've missed.

Cheers,
Matt

Subject: [Cc-nz] Best Practice for linking CC Stuff

Hi all

I am interested in best practice for linking to and attributing CC stuff (how to)

So I look to the CC-NZ website for best practice

An article there does not help me

http://www.creativecommons.org.nz/2013/01/uc-ceismic/

I am not a machine  - but I cannot see any assertion of a CC-NZ license in the code

The link to the graphic loads as a CC-NZ wordpress URL http://www.creativecommons.org.nz/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/ROSS2478-1D
3_pt.jpg\

Rather than linking to the source (the attribution part surely...)

Should it link to the source - cause I cannot see the attribution in that URL http://www.creativecommons.org.nz/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/ROSS2478-1D
3_pt.jpg\

But then I am not a machine.

Indeed further looking at the CEISMIC site makes me ponder

The licenses used seem to be CC Unported not NZ - interesting

The objects like PDFs seem to have poor internal metadata - but no mention of CC license.

Is this something the CC-NZ community should be trying to resolve - and construct a few how too's - embedding licenses in HTML, PDFs etc.

Strange that a poster child seems to fail in a few areas.

Thoughts?
