= Zeitgeist =
=== Goal ===
The goal of this project is to spread media content that is licensed under Creative Commons throughout the web in much the same way that weblogs spread CC licensed text.
=== Short Description ===
"Web-based System Supporting Remixing and Collaboration on Media"
=== Slightly Longer Description ===
'''ccHost''' is an open source ([http://creativecommons.org/licenses/GPL/2.0/ GPL] licensed) project that provides web-based infrastructure to support collaboration, sharing, and storage of multi-media using the Creative Commons licenses and metadata. It is the codebase used by [http://ccmixter.org ccMixter] and [[#Usage Examples|other sites]].

Besides its focus on sharing content, ccHost differentiates itself from other multi-media hosting programs by emphasizing the '''reuse''' (a.k.a. remixing) of content between artists, not only between artists on any given installation of ccHost, but between all installations across the web and any web site that implements the Creative Commons [http://ccmixter.org/media/viewfile/pool_api_doc.xml Sample Pool API], including non-ccHost sites such as the [http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/ freesound project].

=== Usage Examples ===

* [http://ccmixter.org ccMixter] - Primary usage of ccHost is the Creative Commons remix site, ccMixter.

= Appendix A: Compatibility =

=== Browsers ===

Recently tested on: Firefox 2/3 Mac/PC/Linux, IE 7 PC, Safari Mac (IE8 requires "compatibility" mode - see [[Cchost/guide/Troubleshooting#IE8_Layout_Issues|here]] for workaround)

Cookies must be enabled.

Most skins (the ones people will want to use) require Javascript enabled.

=== Servers ===

Primary development is done on Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy heron) using Apache, mySQL, and PHP. The actual dev setup is described in detail [[Cchost/Developers/Victor's_Dev_Setup|here]].

==== Linux ====
ccHost on Apache (2.0.49 up to at least apache-2.0.55-r1) on Linux,

One should be able to easily install mySQL, PHP, and Apache (if they are not already available) through their distributions packaging system. See the dev setup above.

==== Windows IIS Server ====

((Infoboks | ccHost er ikke blevet set køre eller testet på Windows i lang tid - flere versioner siden.))

Windows-brugere med deres installation diske kan installere valgfrit, Windows IIS-webserver. Denne mulighed er blevet testet. Men der kan stadig være problemer med det, og i bekræftende fald, [http://sourceforge.net/tracker2/?func=browse&group_id=80503&atid=559966 du indsende en fejl].

Selv hvis du bruger Apache på Windows skal du muligvis have installeret IIS, hvis du planlægger at bruge e-mail kontakt funktioner.

==== Windows Apache ====
There are many good tutorials for setting up a Windows/Apache/MySQL/PHP site ([http://google.com/search?q=installing+WAMP Google search]) and all three subsystems now come with Windows installers making the job of installing relatively straightforward.

====== XAMPP ======
Windows installations without Apache, mySQL and PHP already installed should consider using [http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html XAMPP] for Windows, which provides an easy install of Apache web server, MySQL database server, and PHP and perl programming languages. This is an easy way to get up and running, with the underlying technology necessary to use ccHost.

Follow the instructions for installation of XAMPP to know where to put the uncompressed ccHost package to properly work with your local setup.

==== Mac OS X ====

''NOTE: This setup is similar to Linux.''

Verified:

* OS X 10.4.6
* default OS X MySQL build, 4.0.26
* GetID3 1.7.7
* default Apache/PHP

}}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 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://www.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 jurisdictions. 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 waived all rights to the work using [http://creativecommons.org/about/cc0 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 [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/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].

== Creative Commons public domain tools ==

* [[CC0]] (occasionally written as CC Zero) is a waiver that allows copyright holders to place works in the public domain to the extent legally possible, worldwide.
* CC's [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/publicdomain public domain certification] serves to mark works that are in the public domain already. A next-generation version of this tool, to be called a "public domain assertion tool" is under development.
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 deliberately freed from restrictions by the copyright owner, or the copyright may lapse after a certain time. All content created by US government employees as part of their employment is public domain, making US federal sites (considered together) probably the largest source of public domain content by far.

The legal 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://www.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 domain search available. This operates on a completely different method to searches using the Creative Commons marks. It uses a manually maintained index of sites known to be public domain - thus it is does not yield 100% public domain results, and content must be checked to confirm public domain status. Reliability is expected to improve, and feedback by users is encouraged.[http://www.realdissertationwriting.com dissertation help]

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