The document discusses open licensing and copyright. It defines copyright as the exclusive rights granted to creators of original works to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, and display their creations. These rights are held by the copyright owner, not necessarily the creator. The document outlines the types of works covered by copyright and the length of copyright, which is typically the life of the author plus 70 years. It then introduces Creative Commons licenses as a way for creators to select which copyrights they want to waive, such as allowing sharing and editing of their works. The document encourages creators to consider the value and future uses of their intellectual property when deciding how to license and share their works.

- 1. Open Licensing The How and Why Behind Sharing Your Work Michelle Reed, Open Education Librarian http://libguides.uta.edu/openlicensing
- 2. You are not alone.
- 3. Are you a copyright owner?
- 5. The U.S. Constitution “The Congress shall have the power…to promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors exclusive Right to their respective writings and discoveries.” Article 1, Section 8
- 6. Copyright (Section 106) Copyright protects “original works of authorship” that are fixed in a tangible form of expression: • literary works • musical works • dramatic works • pantomimes & choreographic works • pictorial, graphic, & sculptural works • motion pictures & other audiovisual works • sound recordings • architectural works
- 7. Copyright is a bundle of rights Rights are held by the OWNER of the work (not necessarily the creator/author). Owners may: • Reproduce - Make copies of their works publicly or privately. • Adapt - Prepare additional works derived from their copyrighted work, (aka, derivative works). • Distribute - Disseminate copies of their works, to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, lending. • Perform - Perform their work publicly (at location open to the public or to persons other than close family and social acquaintances). • Display - Display their work publicly (applies to all works except sound recordings and architectural works).
- 8. Length/Term of Copyright • Life of author plus 70 years • Joint work – 70 years after last surviving author’s death • Works made for hire – 95 years from year of first publication or 120 years from year of creation, whichever expires first • Works published before 1923 are in the public domain • Copyright slider to determine whether the work is in the public domain - http://librarycopyright.net/resources/digitalslider/
- 13. Creative Commons • Copy • Share • Edit • Keep • Use • Mix
- 14. What do you DO with your intellectual property? Intellectual property, like most property, has value. However, the value is relative; it’s only as valuable as people perceive it to be. Value is usually determined by how useful the work is to others, and how it is distributed for consumption by others. • What is the value of your intellectual property? • How would you distribute it? • Consider the enduring value of your work in advance. YouALWAYSgettodecidewhattodowithyourintellectualproperty (unlessitisworkforhire).
- 15. Decide how you want to share your work. Consider future users: • Less restrictive licenses (such as CC-BY) are most adaptable for future uses • You will always get credit for your work - attribution is required with all Creative Commons licenses • Tell others how to give you credit (provide sample attribution) How will what you share and how you share impact your digital identity?
- 18. Using Openly Licensed Work How to Find • Flickr, YouTube, Vimeo, and Google all have advanced searches with filters for Creative Commons licensed work • Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons are licensed CC-BY-SA How to Attribute • Title - What is the name of the material? • Author - Who owns the material? • Source - Provide the source of the material so others can, too. Since we live in the age of the Internet, this is usually a URL or hyperlink where the material resides. • License – Name the specific license and link to it. ATTRIBUTION gives credit to the original creator. This is a requirement of all Creative Commons licenses.

Editor's Notes
- This presentation is licensed under an Attribution 4.0 International license (CC-BY): https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/. It was presented to students in Kinesiology 4330 on October 5, 2017.
- Pre-test results Very important to acknowledge this when we’re talking about complex and gray issues like copyright. The vast majority of you said that you are not very familiar with Creative Commons licensing. Only 11 out of 62 of you said you were somewhat or very familiar with these licensing options.
- Pre-test results I’ve asked this question of over 100 students at two different universities, and only one student has answered “yes.” Would any of you like to revise your answers based on what you learned from the homework?
- We’ll discuss four important facts related to copyright. https://www.copyright.gov/title17/
- Fact 1: Copyright is a legal right granted by the US Constitution. It was intended as a limited-term monopoly to incentivize creation and innovation. https://www.senate.gov/civics/constitution_item/constitution.htm#a1_sec8
- Fact 2: Copyright is automatic when a work is fixed in a tangible form. These categories should be viewed broadly. For example, computer programs and most “compilations” may be registered as “literary works”; maps and architectural plans may be registered as “pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works.” Some things may not be protected by copyright: ideas, symbols, ingredients and processes (recipes), ideas, phrases, names, titles, and slogans. However, other types of IP may apply (e.g., trademark, patent, or trade secret). Also, government documents are in the public domain. Copyright happens automatically and without any further action on your part when you fix an idea in a tangible form. Example: lyrics on a bar napkin. Making the copyright ownership and status of work easily visible is a good idea but not legally required. Registration is a procedural necessity in order to litagate a copyright claim but this can be done at any point and costs money. It would indicate to the court that you were aware of your ownership rights and intended to protect them. But again, not necessary to establish copyright; the act of expression brought the copyright into existence.
- Fact 3: Copyright is a bundle of rights that can be debundled. Rights may be transferred in whole or licensed collectively or individually. Exclusive rights must be transferred in writing.
- Fact 4: Copyright lasts a really long time-- continues beyond creator’s death. Original Copyright Term: 1790 – 14 yrs. + 14 renewal (28) Revisions: 1831 – 28 yrs. + 14 renewal (42) 1909 – 28 yrs. + 28 renewal (56) 1976 – life of author + 50 yrs. (fair use formalized, registration not required) 1998 – life of author + 70 yrs.
