Creative Commons Aotearoa New Zealand discussion

[Matt McGregor <Matt.McGregor AT royalsociety.org.nz>]

Hi all,

 

NZ On Air have just released the responses to its online rights paper, including the response I wrote on behalf of CCANZ: http://www.nzonair.govt.nz/news/newspressreleases/pressrelease_2013_05_03.aspx

 

Most of the responses were from industry groups, though both CCANZ and the University of Otago—via Richard White—supported the move to increase public access to publicly funded culture.

 

Interestingly, NZ On Air also goes out of its way to emphasise NZGOAL, which is great to see (though it suggests that access isn’t the focus of NZGOAL, which isn’t quite right).

 

I’m going to post our response on the CCANZ site now. Please comment & critique: I feel like CCANZ should continue to have a presence in these sorts of debates, though I’m interested to hear any community responses, for or against.

 

Cheers,

Matt
