Collecting Society Projects

Guaka: Protected "Collecting Society Projects" (‎[edit=autoconfirmed] (indefinite) ‎[move=autoconfirmed] (indefinite))

{{Project}}

This page collects information about the interaction between various Creative Commons jurisdiction projects and collecting societies. It provides an overview of jurisdictions where Collecting Society members can use Creative Commons licenses ('[[#Projects|Projects]]') and of jurisdictions where there are talks between the jurisdiction project and a collecting society in order to achieve this goal ('[[#Negotiations|Negotiations]]').

== Priorities ==

# Increase usage of CC license in jurisdiction
# Increase legal certainty for musicians wishing to use CC licenses
# Increase profitability of CC license users
# Support non-exclusive collecting societies

'''NOTE: When interacting with Collecting Society representatives it is important to be cordial with them and provide information about Creative Commons usage (see [[Case_Studies|case studies]], [[Documentation|documentation]] and [[Metrics|metrics]]) and integrating Creative Commons licenses (see: [[CCPlus|CC+]], [[CcREL]] and [[Web_Integration|web integration]]). Be be mindful of the overall [[#Priorities|priorities]] and ensure that you are in line with the arrangements made as part of ongoing [[#Projects|projects]]'''

=More about the European Academy of Law and Computing (EEAR), Merzig and Saarbrücken=

The [http://www.eear.eu/ European Academy of Law and Computing] was established in the year 2005 as a non-profit corporation situated in Merzig and Saarbrücken, near the borders to France and Luxemburg in south-western Germany. The Academy wants to build bridges between the IT sector and the world of legal professionals. Its mission therefore is threefold, combining research activities, educational courses and development of software and services.

In the area of research the Academy offers various workshops, conducts EU funded studies and hosts the Merzig Legal Database Forum [http://www.eear.eu/index.php?id=3 (Merziger Datenbankenforum Recht)], to name a few. In regard to education and additional qualification for lawyers a fully equipped test environment is on offer as well as a wide range of courses, covering topics like XML, Digital Data Management and Legal Web Services. The development activities include the German Database of Higher Education Law [http://www.eear.eu/kmk-hochschulrecht/ (KMK Hochschulrecht)], the Caveat Registry Service, applications for implementing the XJustiz standard, and other projects.

=More about Institute of Law and Informatics (Institut für Rechtsinformatik) at Saarland University, Saarbrücken=

The ‘Saarbrücker Rechtsinformatik’ (Law and Informatics in Saarbrücken) was founded in 1988 along with the establishment of the department of law and informatics, which was originally funded by the Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft (Donors’ Association for the Promotion of Sciences and Humanities in Germany) and headed by Prof. Dr. Herberger. Today the Institute of Law and Informatics at Saarland University (Universität des Saarlandes in Saarbrücken, Germany) is maintained by the [http://herberger.jura.uni-sb.de/ Chair for Civil Law, Legal Theory and Legal Informatics Prof. Dr. Maximilian Herberger] and the [http://ruessmann.jura.uni-sb.de/ Chair for Civil Law, Civil Procedure and Philosophy of Law Prof. Dr. Helmut Rüßmann].

The [http://www.rechtsinformatik.de/pages/home.php?lang=EN Institute of Law and Informatics] concerns itself with the question of how legal professionals can improve their ways of working with the aid of new technology. Law and informatics is part of applied information technology just like business information systems and medical informatics are. In this context the Institute of Law and Informatics feels that it is its duty to make legal information electronically available, therefore deviating from the traditional printed format, and to support the electronic exchange of legal documents. Examples include online legal databases as well as the technical maintenance of the decision databases of the Courts, for example the [http://www.bundesverfassungsgericht.de/ websites of the Federal Constitutional Court], the Social, Labour and Fiscal Courts of the Saarland as well as the Administrative Court in Frankfurt am Main.

Furthermore, the Institute of Law and Informatics deals with Information Law and legal problems of new media, especially Internet Law. The Internet poses many legal questions, which concern current and future legislation of almost all areas of law and numerous regulations. In relation to the named issues the Institute concentrates mainly on questions of civil law.

Jurisdiction: Creative Commons Germany

Date submitted: December 2010

=Roadmap=

==Description==

The German CC Jurisdiction Project aims at supporting a better way of sharing online. It does so by making the CCPL work under German law and by bridging gaps between the world in which Creative Commons was invented and everyday online reality in Germany, that exist in terms of both history of law as well as discourse of creativity.

The project has two Leads, both located mainly in Berlin. John Weitzmann as Legal Project Lead is supported by the [http://eear.eu/index.php?id=47 European Academy of Law and Computing (EEAR)], Markus Beckedahl as Public Project Lead is supported by [http://newthinking-communications.de/ newthinking communications].

==Priorities for 2011==

- Run one or more contests online to let fans do new designs for schwag (both graphics only and with text) and have the best produced also as parts of flyers, brochures and other new CC info material. Of course any new designs will be CC licensed and as such re-usable for others.

- Make progress on the issues of porting gaps and plain language reform, in cooperation with the Communia Network and CC Portugal, who have agreed to work on this as a CC Europe task force. The goal is to have a paper ready for the CC meeting in the 3rd quarter.

- Act as cooperation partner for re:publica 2010 and put CC-relevant topics on the agenda of the conference. One way to go forward on this one will be to individually invite possible adopters to learn more about the CCPL and its application at re:publica. Another part of this item is to establish re:publica as a background for regular CC Europe meetings..

- Build the basic structure and introductory texts for the CC Commentary and build a group of volunteers to work on the first set of content. Some positive replies have already been received on the latter, but more needs to be done.

- Boost social media integration and donation functions on our website.

'''Helpers and Interns'''

From time to time we have additional volunteers (and regular interns at newthinking communications) helping with everyday work or special projects.

==Web resources==

''Jurisdiction website''

Our [http://de.creativecommons.org/ website] runs on Wordpress, with a theme modified from one of the previous themes of creativecommons.org. Next items on the agenda for the site are a better integration of our social media channels (identi.ca and twitter), an easy web-based donation scheme (using either PayPal or Sofortüberweisung.de), a remodeling of our FAQ section and integration of a module to aggregate CC news.

''CC Category within netzpolitik.org Weblog''

Markus Beckedahl is a very sought-after evangelist for freedom of the internet, open government and – as CC Germany Public Lead – also for CC licensing. He runs one of the top ten weblogs in Germany, [http://www.netzpolitik.org netzpolitik.org], which contains a separate [http://www.netzpolitik.org/category/creative-commons/ category] for CC-related topics with hundreds of articles.

''Internal ATeam Wiki''

For internal coordination of the Affiliate Team and for material collection and other purposes the EEAR maintains a moinmoin wiki that all team members can access.

==Metrics==

We see the numbers of CC licenses or CC licensed content as a rather arbitrary factor, because the sheer numbers themselves do in no way reflect quality and relevance of the so lincensed content. They also tend to distort debates about the benefits and downsides of alternative licensing away from the aspect of individual creators making licensing decisions. We see more value in highlighting certain projects, groups or individuals that in our opinion are possible role models for CC licensing.

==Competitions==

''CC DE Schwag Competition''

In cooperation with Wikimedia Germany we want to run an online competition to make new designs for CC schwag and merchandising material. This is meant to raise awareness of how diverse the group of CC licensors and re-users is and to also benefit the project in terms of material to promote CC's cause. The winners will be announced at one of the larger gatherings of net-minded people in Berlin (28C3, re:pubica, Linuxtag, …).

==Workshops, Presentations and Strategic Talks==

People from the CC DE Affiliate Team (ATeam) and the two project leads are frequently invited to talk about CC and alternative licensing and write articles and papers on the topic. There have also been individual consultations and strategic talks on the CCPL and their application with several stake holder institutions, one of the most prominent being the CC-GEMA dialogue, an exchange with the leading German collecting society for musical works. Other such consultantions have been held with public broadcasters, political and philathropic foundations and media or companies in.

==Institutional and Project Cooperations==

CC Germany is always open to cooperate with other groups and institutions if this apprears to be beneficial to our common(s) cause. In the past, such cooperations have existed f. e. with the German Film Museum Deutsche Kinemathek, the Board of Open Youth Education of the State of Baden-Württemberg and others. At the moment and in the coming year we will especially cooperate with Google Germany's policy group and their Co://aboratory and also with the activists of the C3S project that explored the pros and cons of setting up a collecting society for CC content.

==Regional Collaboration==

Since 2009 there is a regional collaboration on European CC Projects under the name CC Europe. It is not formalized and has developed out of the Communia Project, a EU-funded Thematic Network on the digital public domain to which many European CC Projects are members. CC Germany hat built and runs the CC Europe website at http://europe.creativecommons.org as a central entry point for anyone interested in CC licensing and related topics at the European level. In addition to that we maintain the CC Europe mailinglist and coordinate regional meetings and more.

[[CC0]] (read “CC Zero”) is a universal public domain dedication that may be used by anyone wishing to permanently surrender the copyright and database rights (where they exist) they may have in a work, thereby placing it as nearly as possible into the public domain. CC0 is a legal tool that improves on the “dedication” function of our earlier, [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/publicdomain/ U.S.-centric public domain dedication and certification]. CC0 is universal in form and may be used throughout the world for any kind of content without adaptation to account for laws in different jurisdictions. And like our licenses, CC0 has the benefit of being expressed in three ways – legal code, a human readable deed, and machine-readable code that allows works distributed under CC0 to be easily found.

CC0 can be particularly important for the sharing of data and databases, since it otherwise may be unclear whether highly factual data and databases are restricted by copyright or other rights. Databases may contain facts that, in and of themselves, are not protected by copyright law. However, the copyright laws of many jurisdictions cover creatively selected or arranged compilations of facts and creative database design and structure, and some jurisdictions like those in the European Union have enacted additional sui generis laws that restrict uses of databases without regard for applicable copyright law. CC0 is intended to cover all copyright and database rights, so that however data and databases are restricted (under copyright or otherwise), those rights are all surrendered. CC0 is also [http://sciencecommons.org/projects/publishing/open-access-data-protocol/ particularly relevant to scientific data]. An opinion piece in <em>Nature</em> on "[http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v461/n7261/full/461171a.html Post-publication sharing of data and tools]" explicitly recommends open sharing and the use of CC0 to put data in the public domain:

<blockquote>"Although it is usual practice for major public databases to make data freely available to access and use, any restrictions on use should be strongly resisted and we endorse explicit encouragement of open sharing, for example under the newly available CC0 public domain waiver of Creative Commons."</blockquote>

==CC0 use cases==

__NOTOC__

The CC Affiliate Network consists of 100+ affiliates working in over 70 jurisdictions to support and promote CC activities around the world.

The teams have a wide range of responsibilities, including public outreach, community building, translating information and tools, fielding inquiries, conducting research, communicating with the public, maintaining resources for CC users, and in general, promoting sharing and our mission. These teams have a formal relationship with Creative Commons via an agreement between organizations, universities or individuals in the jurisdiction and CC HQ Unaffiliated volunteers are also welcome to organize events and promote Creative Commons locally, regionally and globally.

If you would like learn more or contribute in one of these jurisdictions, please click on the flag below or email affiliate-program[at]creativecommons.org.

<h2>The Licensing Suite</h2>

Creative Commons offers a core suite of six copyright licenses written to conform to international treaties governing copyright. The international licenses, as well as existing ported licenses, are all intended to be effective anywhere in the world, with the same legal effect. In the past, when it was demonstrated that a ported license was needed, Creative Commons worked with legal experts to craft a localized version of its six, core international licenses. Over 50 ported license suites exist. These ported licenses are based on and compatible with the international license suite, differing only in that they have been modified to reflect local nuances in how legal terms and conditions are expressed, drafting protocols and, of course, language. They are effective worldwide, as is the international license suite. The most recent international license suite available is [[Version_3 | version 3.0]].

Please note that CC’s policy is not to begin any new porting projects as we are currently preparing for version 4.0.

''This page supersedes the 2006 document [[Databases and Creative Commons]].''

Much of the potential value of data is to society at large — more data has the potential to facilitate enhanced scientific collaboration and reproducibility, more efficient markets, increased government and corporate transparency, and overall to speed discovery and understanding of solutions to planetary and societal needs.

A big part of the potential value of data, in particular its society-wide value, is realized by use across organizational boundaries. How does this occur (legally)? Many sites give narrow permission to use data via terms of service[http://www.thefunnyquotessayings.com/cool-hilarious-funny-quotes-sayings/ .] Much ad hoc data sharing occurs among researchers. And increasingly, open data is facilitated by sharing under public terms to manage copyright restrictions that might otherwise limit dissemination or reuse of data, e.g. [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/ CC licenses] or the [[CC0]] public domain dedication.

Many organizations, institutions, and governments are using CC tools for data. For case studies about how these tools are applied, see:

==Frequently asked questions about data==

==='''''Can databases be released under CC licenses?'''''===

Yes, CC licenses can be used on any copyrighted work, including a copyrighted database. A CC license may be applied to any or all copyrighted aspects of a database and its contents. See [[Data#How_do_I_apply_a_CC_legal_tool_to_a_database.3F|below]] for more information regarding how to provide clear notice of what is licensed. Any use of the licensed database or its contents that is restricted by copyright law requires compliance with the relevant license conditions (BY, SA, NC, ND). In their current version (3.0) CC licenses do not require compliance with the license conditions when only sui generis database rights (and not copyright) are implicated. Additionally, the international and "ported" version 3.0 licenses, excluding EU jurisdiction ports, do not grant any permissions where sui generis database rights are implicated. Please see [[Data#How_.28if_at_all.29_are_sui_generis_database_rights_addressed_in_CC_licenses.3F|below]] for more detail.

CC0, the public domain dedication, can also be used on databases. The effect is to waive all copyright and related rights in the database, placing it as close as possible into the worldwide public domain. In certain domains, such as science and government, there are important reasons to consider using tools like CC0. Waiving copyright and related rights eliminates all uncertainty for potential users, encouraging maximal reuse and sharing of information. Where waiver is not a viable option and some conditions on reuse are necessary, rights holders should [http://www.ivir.nl/publications/eechoud/CC_PublicSectorInformation_report_v3.pdf consider] using CC licenses that give the public more freedom to reuse and remix the content.

==='''''Which components of a database are protected by copyright?'''''===

With databases, there are likely four components to consider: (1) the database model or structure, (2) the data entry and output sheet, (3) field names, and (4) the data.

The '''database model''' is a specification describing how a database is structured and organized, including database tables and table indexes. The selection, coordination, and arrangement of the contents is subject to copyright if it is sufficiently original. The threshold of originality required for copyright is fairly low in many jurisdictions. For example, while courts in the United States have held that an alphabetical telephone directory did not have sufficient originality to merit copyright protection, an organized directory of Chinese-American businesses in a particular area did. These determinations are very fact-specific (no pun intended) and vary by jurisdiction.

The '''data entry and output sheets''' contain questions, and the answers to these questions are stored in a database. For example, a web page asking a scientist to enter a gene’s name, its pathway information, and its ontology would constitute a data entry sheet. The format and layout of these sheets are protected by copyright according to the same standard of originality used to analyze copyright in the database model.

'''Field names''' describe data sets. For example, “address” might be the name of the field for street address information. These are less likely to be protected by copyright because they often do not reflect originality.

The '''data''' contained in the database are subject to copyright if they are sufficiently creative. Original poems contained in a database would be protected by copyright, but purely factual data (such as gene names without more) contained in a database would not. Facts are not subject to copyright, nor are the ideas underlying copyrighted content.

==='''''How do I know whether a particular use of a database is restricted by copyright?'''''===

When the database structure or contents are subject to copyright, reproducing, distributing, or modifying the database will often be restricted by copyright law. If the database is released under a CC license, that means reproduction, distribution, or modification will likely require compliance with the relevant license conditions, including attribution.

However, it is important to note that some uses of a copyrighted database will not be restricted by copyright. It may be possible, for example, to rearrange or modify the uncopyrightable data in a way that does not implicate the copyright in the database structure. For example, while (as noted above) a court in the United States held that a directory of Chinese-American businesses was restricted by copyright, the same court went on to hold that a directory that duplicated hundreds of its listings was not infringing because the listings were categorized and arranged in a sufficiently dissimilar way. In those situations, compliance with the license conditions is not required unless the database contents are themselves restricted by copyright.

Similarly, even where database contents are subject to copyright and published under a CC license, use of the facts and ideas found in the contents will not require attribution (or compliance with other applicable license conditions), unless doing so implicates copyright in the database structure as explained above. This important limitation of CC licenses is reflected in the license deed, where it indicates that the license does not extend to those elements of the work in the public domain.

==='''''What are sui generis database rights?'''''===

Sui generis database rights are different from, but often overlap with, copyright. Sui generis database rights exist to recognize the investment required to compile a database, whether or not the database meets the originality requirement in copyright law. Established by [http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:31996L0009:EN:HTML Directive 96/9/EC] of the European Parliament, sui generis database rights prohibit the extraction or reutilization of a substantial portion (defined in both qualitative and quantitative terms) of the contents of a database. The Directive has been implemented in the national legislation of all EU member countries. Outside of the European Union, similar database-like rights have been established in several countries, including Mexico and South Korea.

==='''''How (if at all) are sui generis database rights addressed in CC licenses?'''''===

The treatment of sui generis database rights varies among the CC version 3.0 licenses, but the practical result is always the same: compliance with the license conditions is not required where sui generis database rights - but not copyright - are implicated. This means that if someone takes a substantial portion of a CC-licensed database and uses it in a way that does not implicate copyright (e.g., by rearranging purely factual data), she does not have to attribute the licensor or comply with the other license conditions, even if the database is protected by sui generis database rights.

While this treatment is the same across all CC version 3.0 licenses, the reason for this outcome varies. In the ported 3.0 licenses ported to the laws of EU jurisdictions, works subject to copyright and/or sui generis database rights are licensed and subject to the CC license terms and conditions. In those ported licenses, however, the conditions of the license are explicitly waived when use of the licensed work only involves the exercise of database rights and not copyright.

By contrast, all other 3.0 licenses (including ported licenses for non-EU jurisdictions and the international licenses) do not license sui generis database rights at all. As a result, the license conditions do not (nor could they) attach to uses implicating database rights and not copyright. It also means a licensee may need separate permission if they plan to use the database in a way that implicates database rights (although there may arguably be an implied right to do so).

CC is [https://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/29639 leaning toward] changing how its licenses treat sui generis database rights in version 4.0. If pursued, those rights would be fully licensed and subject to the same terms and conditions as copyright, without any waiver of the license conditions where only those rights are implicated. Read more about the issue -- including important limitations that would avoid imposing restrictions where those rights do not exist -- on the [[4.0/License subject matter|version 4.0 wiki]].

==='''''How do I apply a CC legal tool to a database?'''''===

Before making a database available under a CC license, a database provider must first make sure she has all rights necessary to do so. Often, the database provider is not the original author of the database contents, which may mean the database provider needs separate permissions from third parties before publishing the database under a CC legal tool. For more information, read our [[Before_Licensing|pre-licensing]] guidelines.

Also, the database provider must consider what elements of the database she wants to be covered by the CC legal tool and identify those elements in a manner that reusers will see and understand. Please see our [[Marking/Creators|marking page]] for more information on how to clearly distinguish unlicensed content.

CC0 use for data

2013-05-08T09:09:51Z

Guaka: Protected "CC0 use for data" (‎[edit=autoconfirmed] (indefinite) ‎[move=autoconfirmed] (indefinite))

<div style="float:left; padding:10px">[[File:Cc0_88x31.png]]</div>

[[CC0]] (read “CC Zero”) is a universal public domain dedication that may be used by anyone wishing to permanently surrender the copyright and database rights (where they exist) they may have in a work, thereby placing it as nearly as possible into the public domain. CC0 is a legal tool that improves on the “dedication” function of our earlier, [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/publicdomain/ U.S.-centric public domain dedication and certification]. CC0 is universal in form and may be used throughout the world for any kind of content without adaptation to account for laws in different jurisdictions. And like our licenses, CC0 has the benefit of being expressed in three ways – legal code, a human readable deed, and machine-readable code that allows works distributed under CC0 to be easily found.

CC0 can be particularly important for the sharing of data and databases, since it otherwise may be unclear whether highly factual data and databases are restricted by copyright or other rights. Databases may contain facts that, in and of themselves, are not protected by copyright law. However, the copyright laws of many jurisdictions cover creatively selected or arranged compilations of facts and creative database design and structure, and some jurisdictions like those in the European Union have enacted additional sui generis laws that restrict uses of databases without regard for applicable copyright law. CC0 is intended to cover all copyright and database rights, so that however data and databases are restricted (under copyright or otherwise), those rights are all surrendered. CC0 is also [http://sciencecommons.org/projects/publishing/open-access-data-protocol/ particularly relevant to scientific data]. An opinion piece in <em>Nature</em> on "[http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v461/n7261/full/461171a.html Post-publication sharing of data and tools]" explicitly recommends open sharing and the use of CC0 to put data in the public domain:

<blockquote>"Although it is usual practice for major public databases to make data freely available to access and use, any restrictions on use should be strongly resisted and we endorse explicit encouragement of open sharing, for example under the newly available CC0 public domain waiver of Creative Commons."</blockquote>

''This page supersedes the 2006 document [[Databases and Creative Commons]].''

Much of the potential value of data is to society at large — more data has the potential to facilitate enhanced scientific collaboration and reproducibility, more efficient markets, increased government and corporate transparency, and overall to speed discovery and understanding of solutions to planetary and societal needs[http://itshumour.blogspot.com/2012/05/very-short-funny-jokes.html .]

A big part of the potential value of data, in particular its society-wide value, is realized by use across organizational boundaries. How does this occur (legally)? Many sites give narrow permission to use data via terms of service[http://www.thefunnyquotessayings.com/cool-hilarious-funny-quotes-sayings/ .] Much ad hoc data sharing occurs among researchers. And increasingly, open data is facilitated by sharing under public terms to manage copyright restrictions that might otherwise limit dissemination or reuse of data, e.g. [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/ CC licenses] or the [[CC0]] public domain dedication.

Many organizations, institutions, and governments are using CC tools for data. For case studies about how these tools are applied, see:

===[[Data_and_CC_licenses|Uses of CC Licenses with Data and Databases]]===
===[[CC0_use_for_data|Uses of CC0 with Data and Databases]]===

You can also read more about [http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/26283 Creative Commons' most up-to-date thinking on data and databases], and what you can do to contribute.

==Frequently asked questions about data==

==='''''Can databases be released under CC licenses?'''''===

Yes, CC licenses can be used on any copyrighted work, including a copyrighted database. A CC license may be applied to any or all copyrighted aspects of a database and its contents. See [[Data#How_do_I_apply_a_CC_legal_tool_to_a_database.3F|below]] for more information regarding how to provide clear notice of what is licensed. Any use of the licensed database or its contents that is restricted by copyright law requires compliance with the relevant license conditions (BY, SA, NC, ND). In their current version (3.0) CC licenses do not require compliance with the license conditions when only sui generis database rights (and not copyright) are implicated. Additionally, the international and "ported" version 3.0 licenses, excluding EU jurisdiction ports, do not grant any permissions where sui generis database rights are implicated. Please see [[Data#How_.28if_at_all.29_are_sui_generis_database_rights_addressed_in_CC_licenses.3F|below]] for more detail.

CC0, the public domain dedication, can also be used on databases. The effect is to waive all copyright and related rights in the database, placing it as close as possible into the worldwide public domain. In certain domains, such as science and government, there are important reasons to consider using tools like CC0. Waiving copyright and related rights eliminates all uncertainty for potential users, encouraging maximal reuse and sharing of information. Where waiver is not a viable option and some conditions on reuse are necessary, rights holders should [http://www.ivir.nl/publications/eechoud/CC_PublicSectorInformation_report_v3.pdf consider] using CC licenses that give the public more freedom to reuse and remix the content.

==='''''Which components of a database are protected by copyright?'''''===

With databases, there are likely four components to consider: (1) the database model or structure, (2) the data entry and output sheet, (3) field names, and (4) the data.

The '''database model''' is a specification describing how a database is structured and organized, including database tables and table indexes. The selection, coordination, and arrangement of the contents is subject to copyright if it is sufficiently original. The threshold of originality required for copyright is fairly low in many jurisdictions. For example, while courts in the United States have held that an alphabetical telephone directory did not have sufficient originality to merit copyright protection, an organized directory of Chinese-American businesses in a particular area did. These determinations are very fact-specific (no pun intended) and vary by jurisdiction.

The '''data entry and output sheets''' contain questions, and the answers to these questions are stored in a database. For example, a web page asking a scientist to enter a gene’s name, its pathway information, and its ontology would constitute a data entry sheet. The format and layout of these sheets are protected by copyright according to the same standard of originality used to analyze copyright in the database model.

'''Field names''' describe data sets. For example, “address” might be the name of the field for street address information. These are less likely to be protected by copyright because they often do not reflect originality.

The '''data''' contained in the database are subject to copyright if they are sufficiently creative. Original poems contained in a database would be protected by copyright, but purely factual data (such as gene names without more) contained in a database would not. Facts are not subject to copyright, nor are the ideas underlying copyrighted content.

==='''''How do I know whether a particular use of a database is restricted by copyright?'''''===

When the database structure or contents are subject to copyright, reproducing, distributing, or modifying the database will often be restricted by copyright law. If the database is released under a CC license, that means reproduction, distribution, or modification will likely require compliance with the relevant license conditions, including attribution.

However, it is important to note that some uses of a copyrighted database will not be restricted by copyright. It may be possible, for example, to rearrange or modify the uncopyrightable data in a way that does not implicate the copyright in the database structure. For example, while (as noted above) a court in the United States held that a directory of Chinese-American businesses was restricted by copyright, the same court went on to hold that a directory that duplicated hundreds of its listings was not infringing because the listings were categorized and arranged in a sufficiently dissimilar way. In those situations, compliance with the license conditions is not required unless the database contents are themselves restricted by copyright.

Similarly, even where database contents are subject to copyright and published under a CC license, use of the facts and ideas found in the contents will not require attribution (or compliance with other applicable license conditions), unless doing so implicates copyright in the database structure as explained above. This important limitation of CC licenses is reflected in the license deed, where it indicates that the license does not extend to those elements of the work in the public domain.

==='''''What are sui generis database rights?'''''===

Sui generis database rights are different from, but often overlap with, copyright. Sui generis database rights exist to recognize the investment required to compile a database, whether or not the database meets the originality requirement in copyright law. Established by [http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:31996L0009:EN:HTML Directive 96/9/EC] of the European Parliament, sui generis database rights prohibit the extraction or reutilization of a substantial portion (defined in both qualitative and quantitative terms) of the contents of a database. The Directive has been implemented in the national legislation of all EU member countries. Outside of the European Union, similar database-like rights have been established in several countries, including Mexico and South Korea.

==='''''How (if at all) are sui generis database rights addressed in CC licenses?'''''===

The treatment of sui generis database rights varies among the CC version 3.0 licenses, but the practical result is always the same: compliance with the license conditions is not required where sui generis database rights - but not copyright - are implicated. This means that if someone takes a substantial portion of a CC-licensed database and uses it in a way that does not implicate copyright (e.g., by rearranging purely factual data), she does not have to attribute the licensor or comply with the other license conditions, even if the database is protected by sui generis database rights.

While this treatment is the same across all CC version 3.0 licenses, the reason for this outcome varies. In the ported 3.0 licenses ported to the laws of EU jurisdictions, works subject to copyright and/or sui generis database rights are licensed and subject to the CC license terms and conditions. In those ported licenses, however, the conditions of the license are explicitly waived when use of the licensed work only involves the exercise of database rights and not copyright.

By contrast, all other 3.0 licenses (including ported licenses for non-EU jurisdictions and the international licenses) do not license sui generis database rights at all. As a result, the license conditions do not (nor could they) attach to uses implicating database rights and not copyright. It also means a licensee may need separate permission if they plan to use the database in a way that implicates database rights (although there may arguably be an implied right to do so).

CC is [https://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/29639 leaning toward] changing how its licenses treat sui generis database rights in version 4.0. If pursued, those rights would be fully licensed and subject to the same terms and conditions as copyright, without any waiver of the license conditions where only those rights are implicated. Read more about the issue -- including important limitations that would avoid imposing restrictions where those rights do not exist -- on the [[4.0/License subject matter|version 4.0 wiki]].

==='''''How do I apply a CC legal tool to a database?'''''===

Before making a database available under a CC license, a database provider must first make sure she has all rights necessary to do so. Often, the database provider is not the original author of the database contents, which may mean the database provider needs separate permissions from third parties before publishing the database under a CC legal tool. For more information, read our [[Before_Licensing|pre-licensing]] guidelines.

Also, the database provider must consider what elements of the database she wants to be covered by the CC legal tool and identify those elements in a manner that reusers will see and understand. Please see our [[Marking/Creators|marking page]] for more information on how to clearly distinguish unlicensed content.

Public domain

2013-05-08T09:02:04Z

Guaka: Protected "Public domain" (‎[edit=autoconfirmed] (indefinite) ‎[move=autoconfirmed] (indefinite))

When a work is in the '''public domain''', it is free for use by anyone for any purpose without restriction under copyright law. Public domain is the purest form of open/free, since no one owns or controls the material in any way.

Works that are in the public domain in one legal jurisdiction are not necessarily in the public domain worldwide. Copyright laws differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, both in duration of protection and what constitutes copyrightable subject matter. For example [http://usa.gov/copyright.shtml a US Government work] clearly in the public domain in the United States may or may not be free of copyright restrictions and in the public domain in other jurisdiction. At present, one of the only ways to be certain that a particular work is in the public domain worldwide is to see if the copyright holder has dedicated all rights to the work to the public domain by using http://wiki.creativecommons.org/CC0

Creative Commons licenses do not affect the status of a work that is in the public domain under applicable law, because our licenses only apply to works that are protected by copyright. For more information, see [[Before Licensing| our Licensing Guide]] to what you should know before you license a work using CC licenses

Find out more about [http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain CC's public domain tools], and learn more about [http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain the public domain]

== When does a work enter the public domain? ==

This varies by country. To see when a work in the [[United States]] enters the public domain see copyright.[http://copyright.gov/pr/pdomain.html gov's] public domain page.

Cornell University has also provided a [http://copyright.cornell.edu/resources/publicdomain.cfm handy table about copyright term] and the public domain in the United States.

== Creative Commons public domain tools ==

* [[CC0]] (occasionally written as CC Zero) is a public domain dedication that allows copyright holders to place works in the public domain to the extent legally possible, worldwide.
* CC's [http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/mark/1.0/ Public Domain Mark] allows anyone to mark a work that is already free of copyright restrictions around the world .

See http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain for more information on CC's public domain tools.

Public domain content in practice is any content without copyright. It may be freed from restrictions by the copyright, or the copyright may lapse after a certain time.

The details in practice vary between countries. More information about public domain can be found at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain Wikipedia's article on the public domain].

== Appropedia's Public Domain Search ==

[http://appropedia.org/Appropedia%27s_Public_Domain_Search Appropedia's Public Domain Search] was started in late 2007 when it was discovered there was no effective public available. This operates on a completely different method to searches using the Creative Commons marks. It uses a manually maintained index of known sites to be public domain - thus it is does not yield 100% public results, and content must be checked to confirm public domain status. Reliability is expected to improve and feedback by users is encouraged .

As CC public domain tools become widely used, searches based on the CC marks would be expected to a take over from Appropedia's Public Domain Search

'''Salões CC'''

Os [[Salões CC]] é um evento de dois em dois meses que foca em criar um comunidades de artistas e criadores ao redor da licença

Creative Commons, padrões,e tecnologia. Embora tenha começado em San Francisco, devido ao vigor da comunidade CC, mais e mais

salões estão sendo criados ao redor do mundo o tempo todo. Tenha certeza se existe um salão na sua cidade. Se não, e você est

interessado em começar um, avise-nos então nos poderemos te ajudar para divulgar e fazer publicidade!

'''Conferências '''

Creative Commons é uma pequena organização sem fins lucrativos. CC apresenta várias conferências por ano, mas nosso staff é limitado. nós frequentemente precisamos de outros membros da comunidade CC para nos ajudar nas conferências seja apresentando projetos presentes, fliers, e outras tipos de publicações. Para mais informações, por favor entre na [[página de conferência]] no wiki.

'''Integração Local'''

Integrando CC em comunidades locais é um dos melhor caminhos para espalhar a missão da CC. Como sempre, evangelizar no meio seus colegas, familia, e amigos testa suas habilidades pessoais! Discussões informais são um ótimo jeito para espalhar a palavra sobre CC - se vocÊ precisa de assuntos, veja a página sobre. Para mais ideias e exemplos, veja nossa [[página de integração local]] no wiki.

'''Discussão e Comunicação'''

Nós temos um grande número de listas de discussões ativas que servem como uma fenomenal porta para a comunidade CC, primeiramente em termos de desenvolvimento. Enquanto nosso weblog serve para discussão geral de notícias e desenvolvimento em
