I AM NOT A LAWYER.
WHAT IF I DON’T WANT THE
WORK THAT I CREATE TO BE
RESTRICTED FOR MY ENTIRE LIFE
+70 YEARS AFTER MY DEATH?
PERMISSION CULTURE
With standard copyright, you can allow others to
  use your work—but only when they ask
  permission, and after you grant each person
  specific rights.

Lawrence Lessig: Free Culture vs. Permission
  Culture:
“The opportunity to create and transform becomes weakened in
   a world in which creation requires permission and creativity
   must check with a lawyer.” (173)
HACKING COPYRIGHT
What I’m calling “hacking copyright” here refers
 to the ways in which we can license our work
 to allow wider use—without requiring that
 others ask permission, and without the
 intermediation of copyright experts and
 lawyers.
A FEW FREE CULTURE LICENSES:
Gnu Public License (GPL)
  • “a free, copyleft license for software and
    other kinds of works.”
Creative Commons Licenses
   • “licenses and tools [that] forge a balance
     inside the traditional “all rights reserved
     setting that copyright law creates.”
WHAT RIGHTS DO CC LICENSES GRANT USERS
THAT STANDARD COPYRIGHT DOES NOT?
 Free licenses can grant the right (without
 asking permission) to:
 • The right to read/view/copy
 • Share or redistribute
 • Remix and create new works
 • Restrict only specific uses (i.e. noncommercial use—
   but noncommercial licenses are not seen as free
   licenses by many)
FREE LICENSES ARE STILL COPYRIGHT
Free Licenses are not outside of copyright law.
   Even with a free license, copyright law still
   governs the use of your work.


“Every Creative Commons license works around
  the world and lasts as long as applicable
  copyright lasts (because they are built on
  copyright).”
ARE FREE LICENSES THE SAME AS OPEN
ACCESS?
Yes and No: Definitions of Open Access and problems therein


Peter Suber’s definition of OA includes “free of most copyright
   and licensing restrictions.”


But as we’ve seen, Free licenses=a form of Copyright.


Usually, OA definitions=the right to view, but maybe not the right
   to redistribute, remix, etc.
WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO INSURE THAT MY
WORK WILL BE USED (EVEN WHILE I AM STILL
ALIVE)?
