Who are we?
“Creative Commons is a global charity, with a powerful affiliate network of researchers, activists, legal, education and policy advocates, and volunteers who serve as CC representatives in over 85 countries”

What do we do?
• develop and curate 6 licenses + 2 public domain tools
• inform about the licenses, copyright reform, open education, open science, open policy, open business models, ...
• advocate for a vibrant 'commons'• develop technical tools to facilitate use and
discovery of CC-licensed materials...

Over 1 billion CC licensed works worldwide

• Existing copyright regulations: • Not adapted to the reality in 2016 • Trend to increase duration and scope: serves only a very
limited amount of stakeholders – but involuntarily limits access to a large amount of works
• Rights & Permissions are confusing: interpretation is difficult (even when no infringement is intended)
• Fragmented!

Using a Creative Commons license makes it easy for creators to determine what can be done with their work and provides clarity and legal certainty for users - in one click

“Some Rights Reserved”

4 building blocks ...

... can be combined into 6 licenses

How does it work?
11
• Creative Commons licenses are a tool, not silver bullets: It builds on existing copyright
• Incorrect citation and use of CC licensed materials is not only bad practice, it is a copyright infringement
• If you license your own work with CC - you have a legal basis to demand that you are cited correctly

Public Domain- (c) have expired- (c) were never applicable- (c) have been forfeited
13
Public Domain- Can vary per jurisdiction- Huge amount of works: ‘uncertain’
14
Creative Commons offers 2 PD ‘tools’

- Works known to be in the PD
