2. The disruptive energies of ICTs & IP networks
The future of the learning process lies in seamless
access to educational resources most of them
available through ICTs and IP networks.
As ICTs and IP networks inherently produce and
communicate copyrighted material in their normal
process of operation, they activate the potential for
copyright infringement.
We need to encourage the existing copyright legal
framework to accommodate the disruptive energies of
ICTs & IP networks in a way that promotes access to
educational resources.

3. The Creative Commons Main Idea & Vision
Main idea: the need to ask copyright owners whether
they are willing to agree and give permission in print for
their material to be shared through a generic license
that acts as permission granted in advance.
Vision: a space in the Internet where people could
share and reuse copyrighted material without the fear
of being sued.

6. Creative Commons
as tools for Open Educational Resources
CC: the most notable tools in the arsenal of legal
means considered as implementation resources
capable for pushing ahead the agenda of Open
Educational Resources.
While “open” means “without cost”, it does not follow
that it also means “without conditions”.
OER: conditional use of educational resources
available in an information commons.
