[[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==
This is a list of uses of CC0 for data and databases. For uses of CC licenses, see [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Data_and_CC_licenses Data and CC Licenses].

Atom is a syndication (feed) format, defined by the [http://ietf.org IETF] in [http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4287.txt RFC 4287]. [http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4946.txt RFC 4946] defines an extension to Atom 1.0 for specifying license information.

== Example Uses ==

* Feed: http://ccmixter.org/media/feed/atom/audio
* Consumer: [[ccHost]] via [[Sample Pool API]]

== Specifying a License ==

Licenses are specified using the <code>link</code> element with <code>rel="license"</code>.

License information may be provided at either the feed or the entry level; in the case that both exist, the entry license overrides the feed. Note that more than one license may be specified at either level, denoting a multiple license offering.

<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">

<author><name>Jane Smith</name></author>
<link rel="license" type="text/html"
href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/" />
</entry>
</feed>

In the example above the entire feed is licensed under Attribute-Non Commercial 2.5, with the one entry licensed under Attribution 2.5.

== Additional Metadata ==

A [[WebStatement|web statement]] provides additional confidence regarding metadata assertions. [[MorePermissions|morePermissions]] allows content creators to provide a link to a URL where additional permissions, beyond those provided by the license, may be secured.

Atom provides support for extending the feed using fully qualified URIs for the <code>rel</code> attribute on <code>link</code> tags. The web statement and more permissions information may be supplied one of two ways: as a <code>link</code> or as [[RDFa]] in the <code>content</code> of an entry. A metadata-interested consumer will inspect both locations for available metadata.

=== Using <code>link</code>s ===

</p>
</div>
</content>

</entry>
</pre></code>

=== Use with Enclosures ===

Using RDFa you can also provide additional metadata about linked content. This is useful when deploying a podcast; your XHTML can provide rich metadata which allows clients to increase confidence in the metadata.

Creative Commons provides a set of web services which allow application developers to integrate license selection with their own software. The web services are designed to be a more flexible replacement for the HTML-only [[Web Integration Guide|partner interface]].

== Background ==

Creative Commons provides a REST web service interfaces. Through the CC web service API, you can generate any of the Creative Commons licenses, including Sampling. The web services API 1.5 is frozen and can be considered stable. A development API is also supported, where new features are prototyped. The development API should not be considered stable. The API presents the following layers of abstraction:

* a selection of license "classes" available (standard, public domain, GPL, etc)
* a set of questions (along with possible responses, if applicable) that must be answered in order to issue a license
* an interface to generate the license URL, along with description RDF for a given license and set of answers

Two versions of the REST web service are currently maintained, the 1.5 version and development version. The 1.5 version is a stable API and is only updated with new jurisdictions as they become available. The Development version is where new features are implemented and API changes may occur; at some point this will be branched again and versioned. See the [[Web Services Plan]] page for future web service ideas and version details.

The stable REST interface is rooted at http://api.creativecommons.org/rest/1.5. Documentation of methods available is available at http://api.creativecommons.org/readme_15.html.

The development REST interface is rooted at http://api.creativecommons.org/rest/dev. Documentation and a summary of changes since the last stable version is available at http://api.creativecommons.org/readme_dev.html.

Transcript

[16:04] Gonzo Oxberger: I'm gonzo
[16:04] Gonzo Oxberger: I bet you like my nice look, today :)
[16:05] Gonzo Oxberger: Let me say a few words about how I plan to spend the next half hour:
[16:05] Gonzo Oxberger: at first I would like to show you the trailer of a documentary,
[16:05] Gonzo Oxberger: that will be released tonight under a CC license.
[16:05] Gonzo Oxberger: I'm the producer of this docu,
[16:05] Gonzo Oxberger: so I can tell you something more about it after that.
[16:05] Gonzo Oxberger: Then I have a few clips of about 2-3 minutes, each.
[16:06] Gonzo Oxberger: After that I would like to talk about
[16:06] Gonzo Oxberger: the open source film label I founded,
[16:06] Gonzo Oxberger: and our experiences with CC licensing our content. Please interupt me any time you have questions!
[16:06] Gonzo Oxberger: You can hit play NOW :)
[16:07] Bovinity Oxberger: everybody can see it, right?
[16:07] Hypatia Callisto: yes :)
[16:08] Dexter Aquitaine: yeah looks great
[16:08] Zenigma Suntzu: / Nice car :)
[16:08] Bovinity Oxberger: awesome
[16:08] Mozart Goodspeed: nice music :)))
[16:09] Gonzo Oxberger: thats it
[16:09] Gonzo Oxberger: the trailer so far
[16:09] Gonzo Oxberger: I dont want to talk too much about the movie itself.
[16:09] Dexter Aquitaine: woooo hooo
[16:09] Zenigma Suntzu: Awesome.
[16:09] Dexter Aquitaine: fantastic
[16:09] David Zadeh: nice!
[16:09] Gonzo Oxberger: I guess most of you are more interested in the concept
[16:09] Gonzo Oxberger: of open source filmmaking or the reasons why someone should
[16:09] Gonzo Oxberger: CC-license a full length movie.
[16:09] Gonzo Oxberger: But at least so much: the trip in this 30 years old convertible
[16:09] Gonzo Oxberger: led from Washington DC to Chicago, via Route 66 to Los Angeles
[16:10] Gonzo Oxberger: and finally to San Diego. I have been doing road trips like that
[16:10] Gonzo Oxberger: in the US a few times and it always was a lot of fun.
[16:10] Gonzo Oxberger: I would especially recommend doing it in car like this old caddi! LOL
[16:10] Gonzo Oxberger: Lets see some clips...
[16:10] Dexter Aquitaine: so tell us why u did CC
[16:10] Dexter Aquitaine: or is that later
[16:10] Gonzo Oxberger: can you attach clip 1, alex?
[16:11] Bovinity Oxberger: loaded.
[16:11] Gonzo Oxberger: the cc part comes later :)
[16:11] Dexter Aquitaine: k
[16:13] Gonzo Oxberger: ok, push the button again, everybody
[16:13] Hypatia Callisto: /you're just fine Cyrus
[16:14] Bovinity Oxberger: i hope these clips are working for everyone.
[16:15] Dexter Aquitaine gave you Dexter's PhD draft outline.
[16:16] Zenigma Suntzu: Yes working well
[16:16] Cyrus Huffhines: oh is that dc?
[16:16] Mozart Goodspeed: yep
[16:16] Gonzo Oxberger: this is relative unconventional for a documentary - the movie has a few parts like that
[16:17] Gonzo Oxberger: great
[16:17] Gonzo Oxberger: next clip
[16:18] Cyrus Huffhines: now didn't joe thomas do something on route 66 for pbs a few years back? right
[16:18] Gonzo Oxberger: stop
[16:18] Dexter Aquitaine: very kool
[16:18] Gonzo Oxberger: last clip
[16:18] Cyrus Huffhines: love the voice and writing
[16:18] Dexter Aquitaine: looking great Gonzo
[16:18] Gonzo Oxberger: thanks!
[16:18] Gonzo Oxberger: can you put the last clip in, alex?
[16:19] Cyrus Huffhines: I loved grapes of wrath and the jodes, if that was their name. Moses and family
[16:19] Dexter Aquitaine: hehehe reminds me of the old projectionists
[16:19] Bovinity Oxberger: and go!
[16:20] Dexter Aquitaine: reminds me of Cannery Row
[16:20] Mozart Goodspeed: :)))
[16:22] Gonzo Oxberger: so much about the movie itself - you can download it at www.vebfilm.net, if you like
[16:22] Gonzo Oxberger: You may have figured, that "Route 66" is not a blockbuster :o>
[16:22] Dexter Aquitaine: wooo hooo very kool
[16:22] Dexter Aquitaine: well done Gonzon
[16:22] Gonzo Oxberger: It's a no budget production, you can also call it a microbudget production.
[16:22] Deap Tweak: I liked it
[16:23] Gonzo Oxberger: The interesting thing is, that we were able to reach an audience,
[16:23] Cyrus Huffhines: have you thought about breaking a piece off for something like This American Life? Great voice and writing would be great to do on radio to support the film.
[16:23] Gonzo Oxberger: that we never could have reached with a conventional distribution model.
[16:23] Gonzo Oxberger: Without investing a buck in the marketing.
[16:23] Adri Saarinen: You can say that about a lot of art these days, Gonzo. :)
[16:23] Cyrus Huffhines: thislife.org
[16:23] Dexter Aquitaine: mmm so how do u recoup cost
[16:23] Gonzo Oxberger: After the release of the movie in German we counted about 500.000 downloads (+ P2P)
[16:24] Gonzo Oxberger: in a few month and spread about 600.000 copies by offering magazines to put it on their DVDs.
[16:24] Shaun Altman: So how do you make an open source film pay for itself if you're not working on a microbudget?
[16:24] Shaun Altman: donations?
[16:24] Gonzo Oxberger: Thats where it starts to get interesting for sponsors or advertising models.
[16:24] Dexter Aquitaine: wow
[16:24] Gonzo Oxberger: Some magazines payed for the content, others didn't.
[16:24] Gonzo Oxberger: Another important point is, that you can build a reputation for producing
[16:24] Gonzo Oxberger: a certain type of content, if your coverage is big enough.
[16:25] Gonzo Oxberger: In our case that led to a remittance work for a TV station, for instance.
[16:25] Gonzo Oxberger: This might be one way of refinancing microbudget film productions:
[16:25] Gonzo Oxberger: the cultural goods we create are free,
[16:25] Gonzo Oxberger: and they help us to establish a brand in a certain niche,
[16:25] Gonzo Oxberger: that we could otherwise only establish investing a lot into marketing.
[16:25] Gonzo Oxberger: Since the production and especially the distribution
[16:25] Gonzo Oxberger: of music, video or even movies is not longer bound to great amounts of money,
[16:25] Gonzo Oxberger: this concept works perfect for teams of creatives,
[16:26] Gonzo Oxberger: that are just entering the market.
[16:26] Gonzo Oxberger: Our next feature film is already in the postproduction state,
[16:26] Gonzo Oxberger: and we decided to go one step further in this concept:
[16:26] Gonzo Oxberger: we will put it under a BY-SA license to allow creatives
[16:26] Gonzo Oxberger: to make money with our material.
[16:26] Gonzo Oxberger: This includes 40 hours of very exclusive material,
[16:26] Gonzo Oxberger: recorded in southamerica.
[16:27] Gonzo Oxberger: By the way, the Creative Commons licenses,
[16:27] Gonzo Oxberger: besides that they helped us with the distribution,
[16:27] Gonzo Oxberger: have turned out to be a great marketing tool!
[16:27] Gonzo Oxberger: This may lessen as they get more common, but still:
[16:27] Gonzo Oxberger: not only the people love them, the press also does :)
[16:27] Gonzo Oxberger: is that you experience too?
[16:28] Gonzo Oxberger: your
[16:28] Dexter Aquitaine: please explain BY-SA license
[16:28] David Zadeh: which license type did you use for the film?
[16:28] Gonzo Oxberger: by-sa means , that you are allowed to use it commercially
[16:28] Gonzo Oxberger: you can remix it and sell it
[16:28] Gonzo Oxberger: or you can just take parts like the clip in the subway
[16:28] Dexter Aquitaine: ooo k a CC license
[16:28] Gonzo Oxberger: and use it for VJing
[16:28] Dexter Aquitaine: kool
[16:29] Gonzo Oxberger: that makes sense, because you increase the spread of the art
[16:29] Dexter Aquitaine: can i ask your budget Gonzo
[16:29] Dexter Aquitaine: yes it does
[16:29] Gonzo Oxberger: our lates production was $30000
[16:29] Dexter Aquitaine: wow
[16:30] Dexter Aquitaine: that doesnt cover beer hehehe
[16:30] Cyrus Huffhines: not bad
[16:30] Cyrus Huffhines: at all
[16:30] Dexter Aquitaine: fantastic
[16:30] Gonzo Oxberger: and i'm optimistic, that it pays off
[16:30] Gonzo Oxberger: the beer is included
[16:30] Dexter Aquitaine: shot on mini DV?
[16:30] Gonzo Oxberger: and the pizza was sponsored :)
[16:30] Cyrus Huffhines: panasonic?
[16:30] Dexter Aquitaine: lol
[16:30] Gonzo Oxberger: miniDV, right
[16:30] Mozart Goodspeed: i feel hungry LOL
[16:30] Dexter Aquitaine: and edited on what
[16:31] Gonzo Oxberger: and HD
[16:31] Dexter Aquitaine: the new Sony HD format
[16:31] Gonzo Oxberger: with sony cams and JVC cams
[16:31] Gonzo Oxberger: JVC was the HD cam
[16:31] Bovinity Oxberger: what software did you use?
[16:31] Gonzo Oxberger: pretty good cam
[16:31] Dexter Aquitaine: ok what model
[16:31] Cyrus Huffhines: do the jvc's have many breakdown problems?
[16:31] Gonzo Oxberger: we mostly used avid for the editing, since our cutter was used to it from work
[16:32] Dexter Aquitaine: Media Composer
[16:32] Dexter Aquitaine: AVID MC?
[16:32] Gonzo Oxberger: right, and express DV
[16:32] Dexter Aquitaine: so all that adds up
[16:32] Dexter Aquitaine: if though its cheaper
[16:32] Dexter Aquitaine: your editor did it for cut rate
[16:33] Gonzo Oxberger: cut rate?
[16:33] Dexter Aquitaine: lol
[16:33] Dexter Aquitaine: low rate
[16:33] Gonzo Oxberger: right. it only works in this state if most of the guys do it for extremly low budget
[16:33] Dexter Aquitaine: i know this seems beside the point but yeah budget does impact CC
[16:34] Dexter Aquitaine: or round the other way hehehe
[16:34] Dexter Aquitaine: who bank rolled it
[16:34] Gonzo Oxberger: i think you got to reach a certain point
[16:34] Dexter Aquitaine: it must have been hard to get the money on a CC idea
[16:34] Gonzo Oxberger: point of dispersion
[16:34] Dexter Aquitaine: explain
[16:35] Gonzo Oxberger: you got to compare to the other chances you have as an independent label
[16:35] Gonzo Oxberger: with a budget of lets say 30.000$ for a movie
[16:35] Dexter Aquitaine: so its your prod co
[16:36] Gonzo Oxberger: if it's a free production, you can sell it in germany for probably 10.000 to a tv station
[16:36] Dexter Aquitaine: you dont go back to film then
[16:36] Dexter Aquitaine: right
[16:36] Multi Gadget v1.48.4 by Timeless Prototype
[16:36] Dexter Aquitaine: how do they like the fact that u have already CCd it
[16:37] Dexter Aquitaine: so they dont have exclusive
[16:37] Gonzo Oxberger: that is certainly a problem
[16:37] Gonzo Oxberger: for most tv station
[16:37] Gonzo Oxberger: at least if they are funded by the government
[16:37] Dexter Aquitaine: mmm
[16:37] Gonzo Oxberger: they have very strict ideas about the license of the content
[16:38] Dexter Aquitaine: you know the BBC have gone CC for their archive
[16:38] Dexter Aquitaine: sure
[16:38] Gonzo Oxberger: BBC is pretty much an exception
[16:38] Gonzo Oxberger: unfortunately
[16:38] Dexter Aquitaine: mmm but i think advanced
[16:39] Dexter Aquitaine: so have y got your money back yet
[16:39] Dexter Aquitaine: or is it too soon
[16:39] Liana Linden: Fantastic stuff. Thanks Gonzo.
[16:40] Gonzo Oxberger: lets say it that way round: we got more, than when we would have sold it to a TV station
[16:40] Dexter Aquitaine: fantastic
[16:40] Gonzo Oxberger: a problem we still have is, that the market is very new
[16:41] Gonzo Oxberger: you have to explain a lot, why sponsoring of a movie,
[16:41] Gonzo Oxberger: which is distributed in the internet for free, makes sense for the sponsors
[16:41] Gonzo Oxberger: they just never heard about things like that, in most cases
[16:42] Dexter Aquitaine: well it does make sense to me
[16:42] Dexter Aquitaine: i can see that more ppl will see it
[16:42] Gonzo Oxberger: if you allow remixing the content, regular ads in front of the movie wont last very long
[16:43] Gonzo Oxberger: so you probably have to think about certain kinds of product placement
[16:43] Dexter Aquitaine: yeah and they must be entertaining
[16:43] Gonzo Oxberger: within the movie
[16:43] Dexter Aquitaine: like Chris Anderson wrote about The Long Tail
[16:43] Dexter Aquitaine: niche markets
[16:43] Gonzo Oxberger: i can imagine , that we will see more of that
[16:43] Gonzo Oxberger: thats right
[16:44] Dexter Aquitaine: very kool
[16:44] Dexter Aquitaine: audiences dont want to see Broadcast its about narrowcast he argues
[16:45] Dexter Aquitaine: well its a great success story well done Gonzo
[16:45] Gonzo Oxberger: thanks dexter
[16:45] Dexter Aquitaine: :)
[16:45] Zenigma Suntzu: We could have a showing of the movie here in SL.
[16:46] Gonzo Oxberger: i think we are still on the beginng of all that
[16:46] Cyrus Huffhines: that would be great
[16:46] Dexter Aquitaine: great idea
[16:46] Dexter Aquitaine: can i ask on a tech ?
[16:46] Zenigma Suntzu: It would be a fun CC event.
[16:46] Gonzo Oxberger: sure, i would love the movie to be shown here
[16:46] Dexter Aquitaine: how did you compress it for streaming
[16:46] Cyrus Huffhines: I think a ton of people would show
[16:46] Dexter Aquitaine: yeah
[16:46] Gonzo Oxberger: soerenson 3 in quicktime
[16:46] Dexter Aquitaine: tks
[16:47] Dexter Aquitaine: well it looked good
[16:47] You: Gonzo when do you want to do a full length screening?
[16:47] Cyrus Huffhines: woohoo!
[16:47] Gonzo Oxberger: whenever you like it
[16:47] Dexter Aquitaine: koool
[16:47] Gonzo Oxberger: alex, do we have an url of the full movie?
[16:47] You: So next month we will be having a concert in Menorca
[16:47] Bovinity Oxberger: i did all but one of hte clips in H.264 quicktime
[16:48] Bovinity Oxberger: so wasnt sure if everyone could see them :)
[16:48] Gonzo Oxberger: all right
[16:48] Bovinity Oxberger: the full one isnt up online yet
[16:48] Dexter Aquitaine: ooo ok Bov did you re encode it
[16:48] Bovinity Oxberger: but we can put it up on archive.org and legaltorrents
[16:48] Zenigma Suntzu: I've seen archive.org work well with SL.
[16:48] Bovinity Oxberger: yes, except for one that gonzo had already done.. to save time
[16:48] Gonzo Oxberger: it is already online - you can download it from www.vebfilm.net
[16:49] Dexter Aquitaine: koool
[16:49] Cyrus Huffhines: kk
[16:49] Zenigma Suntzu: The server would need to be able to stream it simultaneously to all the viewers in SL.
[16:49] You: so, if people are interested in having a screening here in SL
[16:49] You: let us know
[16:50] Dexter Aquitaine: count me in whooo hooo
[16:50] Zenigma Suntzu: I think we should do it Gen. We see lots of movies here that are er... grey market.
[16:50] Zenigma Suntzu: It would be great to see a CC licensed one.
[16:50] Gonzo Oxberger: LOL
[16:50] Dexter Aquitaine: yeah
[16:50] Bovinity Oxberger: zen: hwo do most people stream them on here?
[16:50] You: How about August 31?
[16:50] Dexter Aquitaine: plus i would like to tell ppl to come and see
[16:50] Dexter Aquitaine: yeah
[16:51] You: same time - full length
[16:51] Zenigma Suntzu: I think most people just put it up on a web server and use http for movies.
[16:51] Dexter Aquitaine: sounds great
[16:51] Bovinity Oxberger: like these clips, right.
[16:51] Zenigma Suntzu: and yes, they might get unsynced
[16:51] Zenigma Suntzu: but it usually works ok.
[16:51] Zenigma Suntzu: Just need a server that can handle that bandwidth simultaneously.
[16:51] Dexter Aquitaine: so they are not really streaming so to speak zen
[16:51] Bovinity Oxberger: we may be able to set up a QT streaming server, if that works better
[16:51] Zenigma Suntzu: like archive.org could.
[16:51] Zenigma Suntzu: I think that keeps everyone together better bo.
[16:51] Dexter Aquitaine: hinted movies
[16:52] Dexter Aquitaine: QT hinting
[16:52] Zenigma Suntzu: But again, requires a pretty good size simultaneous bandwidth.
[16:53] Bovinity Oxberger: well, i think we can figure something out to show this film
[16:53] Gonzo Oxberger: the quality is pretty impressive, and it renders pretty fast, too
[16:53] You: we can reconvene in a couple of weeks
[16:53] Zenigma Suntzu: Ok cool.
[16:53] Bovinity Oxberger: yeah, it looks good for teh compression settings i used
[16:53] Gonzo Oxberger: i was afraid my grafics card would be to slow :)
[16:53] You: also look for ads about our September eevent
[16:53] Zenigma Suntzu: In hte meantime we could experiment with some showing methods and ask around how people are doing it.
[16:53] You: Jonathan Coulton playing at Menorca on Sept 14
[16:54] Zenigma Suntzu: Yes, along with a selection of other artists from SL, and licensed CC!
[16:54] Zenigma Suntzu smiles.
[16:54] You: hey everyone
[16:54] You: i also wanted to let you all know that we have set-up
[16:54] You: a public wiki for planning and tracking CC in SL events
[16:54] You: we'dd like to invite people who are interested in this subject
[16:54] Dexter Aquitaine: kool
[16:54] You: to contribute
[16:54] You: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Second_Life
