This short introduction to Creative Commons licensing for Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums was given as part of the Creative Commons Road Trip in March 2015.

2. Our goal:
“Universal access to research
and education, full participation
in culture.”

3. More free More restrictive

1. Free Licences

4. 2. Projects

5. Here's the good news:
It’s becoming much easier to
access, share and reuse New
Zealand’s cultural heritage

6. This means you can't predict who
will do exciting things with your
work

7. Media Text Hack

8. CC Kiwi

10. However, the legal barriers to
dissemination & reuse remain.

12. Copyright is very restrictive.
Automatic.
Applies online.
No 'c' required.
Lasts for 50 years after death.

13. This gets in the way of the free
distribution and reuse of our
common cultural heritage

15. For heritage institutions, it leads
to usage rights statements that
are often vague, overly
restrictive & not standardised
across the sector

No Known Copyright
https://flic.kr/p/8UAPVTWhat to Do?.

19. First:
Clearly mark out-of-copyright
works as such.

20. Second:
Use Creative Commons licensing
for works with CC-friendly
donors

22. Third:
Works for which institution holds
copyright: use CC licensing

23. Creative Commons licences allow
you to give permission for others
to share and reuse your work

24. Here's the pitch:
CC licences are clear, simple, free,
legally robust and let you keep
your copyright.
