Embedding Metadata in MP3s

== Metadata Embedding ==

Creative Commons licenses are attached to Web pages. But we also want our
licenses to be useful for materials distributed in file formats around
the Net.

The first format we've learned to tag is MP3, the popular audio
compression format. Other common formats — image, video, text, other
audio formats — will follow soon. This is an ongoing process, and we
welcome your [http://creativecommons.org/discuss#metadata feedback]. (You can
also read a more detailed <div id="nonweb">technical
explanation</div> of what follows.)

If you just want to get started, try the [http://www.creativecommons.org/tools/ccpublisher ccPublisher] app, available
for Linux, OS X, and Windows.

* [[#1|part 1: Metadata Embedding in MP3s]]
* [[#2|part 2: The advantage of the verification link]]
* [[#3|part 3: Verification Link: Also a Traffic Engine]]

<div id="1"></div>

== Metadata Embedding in MP3s ==

Let's say Anita wants to license her song, "Volcano Love," with a
Creative Commons license, and release it as an MP3. Here's what she'd do:

http://www.creativecommons.org/images/comics/mp3/1.gif

First, Anita would put a "Some Rights Reserved" button on the site where
her song could be downloaded — along with a link to a license, some RDF
metadata, and an assertion about the copyright status of the work.
Nothing new here: this is what Creative Commons licensors do now.

http://www.creativecommons.org/images/comics/mp3/2.gif

With file embedding, though, this page will now serve the added function
of <strong>verification</strong>. Here's how: Anita would insert the URL
to that webpage in the copyright field of the MP3 file, along with a
short, plain description of the work's license status. We call this the
license <strong>verification link</strong> because it points back to a
page that Anita herself controls.

http://www.creativecommons.org/images/comics/mp3/4.gif

Next, imagine Anita puts the MP3 on a file-sharing network. A user comes
across her MP3 and can follow the verification link to Anita's page. In
the future, we hope that file-sharing networks, media players, and other
applications will build tools that read the verification link
automatically and inform users of the copyright assertions like Anita's.

<div id="2"></div>
== The advantage of the verification link ==

Embedding this kind of "verification link" in MP3s, as opposed to merely
the license metadata, is a measure of protection for artists against the
incorrect or fraudulent labeling and sharing of their work.

'''Take this example:'''

Honeysuckle is a popular commercial singer. She likes her songs "all
rights reserved."

http://www.creativecommons.org/images/comics/mp3/3.gif

John decides to license a Honeysuckle song under a Creative Commons
license, to fool people into thinking she's gone "some rights reserved."
He makes a fake Honeysuckle site on to his website, adds a Creative
Commons license and RDF to it, and embeds a phony "verification link" to
his page in the Honeysuckle MP3. Then he puts the song on a file-sharing
network.

http://www.creativecommons.org/images/comics/mp3/5.gif

Honeysuckle visits the file-sharing network and sees copies of her song
circulating. She finds this suspicious, given that she didn't put the
song on the network and always claims "all rights reserved."

http://www.creativecommons.org/images/comics/mp3/6.gif

She follows the verfication link, finds John, and forces him to take the fake page
down.

http://www.creativecommons.org/images/comics/mp3/7.gif

With the phony verification page gone, users of the file-sharing network
will see that the verification link is broken, or they will follow it to
a page explaining that John fraudulently tried to license the song.

<div id="3"></div>
== Verification Link: Also a Traffic Engine ==

An added benefit of the verification link is that licensors, or the
companies who do their hosting, can use them to draw traffic to their
websites.

'''Example:'''

http://www.creativecommons.org/images/comics/mp3/8.gif

Ravi is an amateur photographer. He hosts his photos at SNAP, a website
devoted to photography. Each time Ravi uploads his photos to the SNAP
website, the SNAP software offers Ravi an opportunity to use Creative
Commons licenses, and the tools to embed his webpage on SNAP with the
appropriate RDF. Next, SNAP's software automatically inserts the
verification link into his photo files' copyright fields.

http://www.creativecommons.org/images/comics/mp3/9.gif

Ravi circulates the photos among his schoolmates, whose photo-viewing
software reads the copyright fields and takes them to the SNAP website,
where they can see Ravi's whole catalog of photography and links to other
SNAP services.

Aslam1:

__NOTOC__

{{Infobox|
'''Welcome to the Content Directories'''

The following is a list of organizations and projects powered with Creative Commons licenses. Since Creative Commons does not maintain a database of content and does not store content, we would like CC-community members to help build a directory of projects to help spread the word about CC--hence the CC Content Directories wiki! Please help us fill it out!

'''What is an appropriate entry for Content Directories?'''

Many of the listings in the Content Directories are organizations that provide services using Creative Commons licenses. For example, Flickr.com is a photo-sharing website that allows users to license their photos under Creative Commons licenses. Flickr hosts millions of CC-licensed photos on its site.

Not certain that something should be added to this list? Add it to [[Talk:Content Directories]]. For short lists of notable works, see [[books]] and [[films]]. For other notable uses, see the [[Case_Studies|case studies project]].

'''How to add an entry to Content Directories'''

To get started, simply add the name of the organization of project in the box below. Then, you'll be able to use an easy form to enter details to add to the Content Directories listings. For some screenshots about how to do this, go [[Add_content_directory_howto|here]].
If you haven't done so already, you'll need to sign up for an account on this wiki. Users must be logged-in to post to the wiki.

== Overview ==

'''UrbanMinistry.org[http://www.UrbanMinistry.org]''' is a website with over 70,000 items of Creative Commons licensed content to assist faith-based social service organization in bringing community change. This makes it the largest libraries of faith-based Creative Commons content on the Web (to our knowledge). UrbanMinistry.org is a part of the nonprofit TechMission, Inc.

Before founding TechMission, in 1996 Andrew Sears co-founded the Internet Telephony Consortium, a multi-million dollar research group at MIT which studied the social implications of the Internet. Through his research there, he saw the importance of addressing the “digital divide,” which separates those with access to and training in technology from those without.

Our vision is that UrbanMinistry.org would be a website where if Martin Luther King Jr. were around today and trying to equip a new movement online, this is the type of website he would want to build. Our dream is to imagine a world where…

''…there are hundreds of millions of training articles, videos, podcast and resources freely available on every nonprofit and social change topic

…90% of media is user created and directly reflects the diversity of the world

…there are thousands of free college courses available online on every topic in nonprofit management

…every person is able to find the area of greatest need in the world where they can serve that matches their skills and interests.''

To achieve that dream, over the next 10 years, the goal of UrbanMinistry.org is to use the Internet to deliver over $700 million in resources from the faith-based community to provide social services to under-resourced communities. This will include serving over 50 million web visitors, placing 1 million volunteers, provide 150,000 items of Creative Commons content for nonprofits, providing nonprofit college courses to over 6,500 students and funding 700 full-time interns. The end goal is that these increased resources would enable organizations to serve millions of more individuals in under-resourced communities, with hundreds of thousands of individuals participating in youth programs, being placed in jobs and college, receiving educational certification and participating in rehabilitation programs.

UrbanMinistry.org is a mash-up utilizing partnerships with the largest Christian social service organizations in the world that serve over 15 million individuals from low-income communities each year. Our partners include the Association of Gospel Rescue Missions, World Vision, Youth Partners Net, Christian Community Development Association, Urban Youth Workers Institute and thousands of local social service agencies. We enable these partners to rebrand our online volunteer matching service and Web 2.0 portal to serve their individual communities. This enables us to provide a common database of opportunities and set of tools across many different partners. We also provide Christian brands and secular brands of our online services so that we can effectively target Christian social service organizations while also providing resources without faith-content to other communities.

In addition to UrbanMinistry.org, TechMission also runs ChristianFreeware.org, which is the largest directory of Christian open source and free software, ChristianVolunteering.org, which is the largest directory of Christian volunteer opportunities and TechMission Corps, and AmeriCorps program that serves at-risk youth.

== License Usage ==

Content published on UrbanMinistry.org are made available under Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial Share Alike 2.0 Generic license.

Any member of the UrbanMinistry.org online community , such as a fellow online social change organization or a social justice blogger, is allowed to Share (copy, distribute and transmit) content as well Remix (adapt the work). However as they post content they must comply with conditions of attributing the work, using it for no commercial purposes. Also, if they choose to alter, transform or build upon existing work, it must be distributed under the same or similar license of UrbanMinistry.org .

In the first 5 months of 2009, UrbanMinistry.org (and related websites) served 1 million unique visitors, making it the most visited web portal for the faith based social services sector. As of May 2009, we have 72,481 total pages of content, which is machine translated into 41 languages resulting in over 376,000 pages of content indexed by Google.

== Motivations ==
Just as in secular media, there has been dramatic consolidation of Christian media that has limited the viewpoints to those of a few large corporations.

Currently the top 10 publishers represent 78.5% of the Christian publishing market, and over 50% of Christian publishing is owned by secular companies.
Currently, only 5 companies control 80% of television. People of color make up 34% of the US population, but own 3.15% of television and 7.7% of radio. Women make up 51% of the population, but own 5.9% of television.

“Digital Gleaning and the Digital Second Harvest”

We believe that the Scriptural concept of “gleaning” can provide the scriptural basis for supporting Creative Commons (and similar initiatives) for those coming from the Jewish, Christian or Muslim faith background (since this concept is a part of their shared scriptures). The idea behind gleaning in Scripture is that farmers are told they should only make a first pass at collecting their crops in order to leave a small portion of their crops for the poor to pick up. The faith connection is helpful because the majority of the World’s poor come from one of these traditions.

Here is how it translates in a digital environment.

(1) In most cases, 95% of the profit from a media item is generated in the first 10 years of its release.

(2) Providing digital copies to the poor would only result in a very small loss of revenue (1-2%) as most of the poor cannot afford it.

(3) The value of digital media to the poor can be enormous. As non-tangible products become the majority of global GDP, providing “gleaning” of digital media to the poor could be transformative.
Based on this, we are promoting an advocacy campaign for to concept of a “Digital Second Harvest” license category under Creative Commons. The basic principles are:

1)A key strategy of any socially responsible business should be to
evaluate their digital assets and make most of their assets that have
either

(a) lost most of their revenue generating potential or
(b) are not affordable to the majority of the world’s poor

2) They would license these under a new type of Creative Commons
license that limits the distribution of the materials to the poor.

3) Only registered non-governmental organizations (NGOs)/nonprofits and
governmental organization could distribute these items.

4) These distribution centers would need to ensure that the license does
not get abused by ensuring it only gets distributed to the poor or
organizations serving the poor.

An example of this in action is http://www.techsoup.org/stock/ which provides hundreds of millions worth of free and discounted software from over 40 companies. Their model needs the legal framework so that it could be generalized to apply to more media formats and companies, and spread in the same way that Creative Commons has spread.

This will be critical as wireless data to cell phones globally enables a level of content access to the poor not seen before in history. We believe that the majority of the world’s content could be made available to the poor for free with only affecting revenue of for-profit companies by less than 1%. This loss of revenue would be justifiable to these companies both because they would be seeding the market for their future customers (who will pay once they get out of poverty) and from the PR generated by being a socially responsible business.

Case Studies/Linux Outlaws

{{Case Study
|Description=Linux Outlaws is a podcast bringing you the tech news of the week, with a strong focus on free and open technologies, some lighthearted humour and from the perspective of the general Linux user.
|Quote=More laid back than the other podcasts, Linux Outlaws should definitely be on your playlist.

== Overview ==

[http://linuxoutlaws.com Linux Outlaws] was started by Fabian Scherschel from Bonn, Germany and Dan Lynch from Liverpool in the UK in the fall of 2007. Having never met each other before in person, the pair started talking to each other on a microblogging platform about Linux and eventually got involved in podcasting.

Linux Outlaws was born as just two regular guys talking lightheartedly about Linux and Free Software once a week but has grown into a very popular news show, including interviews with many big names in the open source community, while still maintaining its laid back style and occasionally slightly questionable brand of humour. It now includes a weekly live broadcast of the recording sessions and a vibrant community, spread among the [http://linuxoutlaws.com/forums Linux Outlaws Forums], multiple social networks and the #linuxoutlaws IRC channel on the Freenode network.

The show is being recorded simultaneously in Bonn and Liverpool using almost exclusively free and open source software and both Dan and Fab have been commited to the ideals of the Creative Commons in everything they produce from the start.

== License Usage ==

Everything to do with Linux Outlaws (the show itself, all artwork and written text) is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License.

== Motivations ==

It has been clear from the start that a project such as Linux Outlaws would use a Creative Commons license: the whole idea of the show is to share information freely with the community. The show was first licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike License, but it was later decided that the more liberal Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License was a better choice in light of the show's ideals.

Both Dan and Fab understand that creating content in the Age of the Internet requires a new way of thinking about the licensing of works. Just as they prefer licenses like the GPL for software, they strongly believe that Creative Commons is the future for the licensing of creative projects like books, music and spoken word.

Using a Creative Commons license has enabled Linux Outlaws to grow way beyond anything its creators could ever have imagined and has created a vibrant and active community of listeners and fans. This surprising success of the show would never have been possible without the ability, and explicit encouragement, to share the content freely in every way possible.

Case Studies/Nine Inch Nails The Slip

2009-09-15T06:06:21Z

Aslam1: /* Media */

{{Case Study

== Overview ==
:‘It’s loud, abrasive, difficult, angry, explosive, and, oh yeah, absolutely free.’ [http://www.suburbanchicagonews.com/beaconnews/lifestyles/939113,2_5_AU09_LISTENUP_S1.article ''Beacon News'']

Two months after the release of [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Nine_Inch_Nails_Ghosts_I-IV ''Ghosts I-IV''], prominent and polemic American noir rock band [http://nin.com/ Nine Inch Nails] has licensed a second album under Creative Commons, [http://theslip.nin.com/ ''The Slip'']. Pitched as ‘one hundred percent free’ by front man Trent Reznor, ''The Slip'' (aka ''Halo 27'') has been proclaimed as a further challenge to the music industry, defining an alternative path for musicians interested in the self-promotion of works. Available for digital download in an array of formats – mp3, lossless FLAC, m4a, and the impressive higher-than-CD quality 24-bit, 96kHz .wav files via torrents – the ten tracks are readily remixable via their multi-track audio source files at http://remix.nin.com. The release also includes a pdf with artwork and credits.

Pre-empting the album release, the single ''Discipline'' was distributed freely via the official NIN site in April 2008, and a second, ''Echoplex'', was released for free from [http://www.ilike.com/ iLike]. ''The Slip''’s track listing is as follows:

#999,999 – 1:25
#1,000,000 – 3:56
#Letting You – 3:49
#Discipline – 4:19
#Echoplex – 4:45
#Head Down – 4:55
#Lights in the Sky – 3:29
#Corona Radiata – 7:33
#The Four of Us Are Dying – 4:37
#Demon Seed – 4:59

To cater for the substantial fan base interested in acquiring sought-after merchandise, NIN released the album on [http://theslip.nin.com/physical/ vinyl and CD under a variable pricing model] over the American summer period.

''The Slip'' was written by Trent Reznor <br />
Performed by Trent Reznor with Josh Freese, Robin Finck and Alessandro Cortini <br />
Produced by Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross and Alan Moulder <br />
Mixed by Alan Moulder <br />
Programmed by Atticus Ross <br />
Engineered by Michael Tuller, Atticus Ross and Alan Moulder

== License Usage ==
NIN actively encourages its fan base to engage with its music, through redistribution and remix via audio tracks at http://remix.nin.com and user-generated film festivals on [http://www.youtube.com/group/ninghosts YouTube]. As with ''Ghosts I-IV'', ''The Slip'' is licensed under a [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/us/ Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States licence]. NIN’s intention with this release is clear, as per the [http://dl.nin.com/theslip/signup download site]:

:‘we encourage you to
:remix it
:share it with your friends,
:post it on your blog,
:play it on your podcast,
:give it to strangers,
:etc.’

In contrast to services which prevent re-distribution of tracks, all files are 100% DRM-free.

== Motivations ==
Releasing under Creative Commons licences has been a successful strategy for NIN: the manoeuvre has accrued substantial profit and prominence in the world-wide press. As [http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20080304/162842435.shtml widely reported] on 4 March 2008, the $300 ultra deluxe edition of ''Ghosts I-IV'', limited to 2500 copies, sold out in a matter of days. With fans still keen to seek ‘personalisation, authenticity, embodiment’ in the hard copy, [http://www.kk.org/thetechnium/archives/2008/01/better_than_fre.php Kevin Kelly] notes that considerable incentives remain surrounding items released for ‘free.’ In relation to the release of the deluxe editions and associated products, [http://gondwanaland.com/mlog/2008/03/04/nin-ghosts/ Mike Linksvayer] observes: ‘If an artist typically makes $1.60 on a $15.99 CD sale, profit from sales of the limited edition already matches profit from a CD selling hundreds of thousands of copies.’

Celebrating their North American tour with a free EP sampler [http://dl.nin.com/lightsinthesky/signup ''Lights In the Sky''], [http://ninblogs.wordpress.com/2008/06/05/new-band-new-tour-sampler/ Trent Reznor adds]:

:‘If you like what you hear, be sure to show up early to the show (and please remember to support them by purchasing their music, if so inclined).’

Evident throughout entries such as [http://blog.wired.com/music/2008/05/nine-inch-nails.html ''Wired Magazine’s Listening Post''] announcing the release on 5 May 2008, reactions from the fans continue to be strongly positive:

:‘Reznor is the man!!!!! I swear I am going to buy his next (for sale) studio album just b/c he is so f#$%ng cool’ Glenn

:‘And it’s another epic victory for Reznor. Three albums in practically a year, and all of them absolutely stellar. The man knows music, plain and simple. I’ll be picking up a vinyl copy come July.’ McTool

In response to these statements of fan fealty, ‘the constant skeptic’ notes:

:‘@glenn that is exactly what Reznor is hoping he will do, convince his fans that he is the man so that the next time something is for sale they will buy it up. It is called selling free, and it works every time, especially in the online arena. Still, it is a masterful move and shows that he knows how to manage his brand better than anyone else out there right now, besides maybe radiohead.’

Emphasising the importance of tour promotion and the smartness of this strategy in ensuring ongoing revenue streams, RandomCake responds:

:‘@the constant skeptic, Well, I’m not sure Trent really cares about every day record sales these days, these free downloads really help with tour sales, and tours are a lot more profitable than CD sales, then there are the limited edition items such as vinyl and numbered CDs which really help to rake it in (Ghosts had an ‘Ultra Limited Edition Package’ at $300, and there were 2,500 of them so that’s $750,000 made there!) Then there are other options, so without selling huge quantities there is large profit, and by giving away large quantities he gains mass appeal! Win win all round!’

In the week following this release, NIN led [http://blog.wired.com/music/2008/03/nine-inch-nai-1.html Amazon.com’s mp3 chart], with Radiohead coming in at number 5. As ''Wired''’s Eliot Van Buskirk muses: ‘There's a lesson for the labels in there somewhere.’
