Creative Commons Aotearoa New Zealand discussion

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

Hi all,

 

CCANZ submitted to NZOnAir’s online rights discussion paper earlier in the year. In October, they released a second paper, which emphasises some of the limitations of ARR copyright for publicly funded materials: http://www.nzonair.govt.nz/media/99019/discussion_paper_online_access_to_publicly_funded_content_oct13.pdf

 

It’s short, and has some interesting sales figures for NZOnAir funded works (for example, over 90 percent of funded works have no net revenue after seven years of release).

They do not include CC licensing in their recommendations, though there will hopefully be an opportunity early next year for CCANZ to join a discussion about these recommendations.

 

Best wishes,
Matt
