Background Copyright(wrong) and CC

• Copyrights - in the most limited sense - are automatic.• Creative Commons seeks to support the building of a richer

public domain by providing an alternative to the automatic "all rights reserved" copyright, dubbed "some rights reserved."

• Creative Commons has helped generate interest in the issue of intellectual property and contributing to the re-thinking of the role of the "commons" in the "information age" (e.g. Social Media).

• Creative Commons has provided institutional, practical and legal support for individuals and groups wishing to experiment and communicate with culture more freely.

• Creative Commons works to counter the dominant and increasingly restrictive permission culture.

Media About Copyright

• Willful Infringement (DVD)– Wholly independent and filmed on a guerrilla budget, the two-man crew

canvassed the nation to create this report. Party clowns, a Rolling Stones tribute band, legal scholars, artists, DJ's, Star Wars fans, teachers and many more tell a tale about how ownership of ideas has come into conflict with free expression
