Date of earliest MOU in jurisdiction: 2003

Vision:

Why is Creative Commons important for the jurisdiction?

Creative Commons has become not only a social practice but a public policy in Brazil. Since the beginning of the Creative Commons project in Brazil in 2003, the CC-Brazil group has promoted adoption of licenses, as well as their importance for open government and other policy initiatives. Creative Commons has become a household name in Brazil, with a strong presence in the Brazilian public sphere.

What do you think makes a successful jurisdiction project?

It is a mix of factors that contribute to the success of CC in Brazil. Among them: (a) partnership with other organizations, both public and private; (b) constant participation in public events, lectures and courses; (c) strong media presence; (d) grassroots support from various communities, from free software to Wikimedia, as well as musicians, writers, bloggers, journalists and others; (e) constant debates about copyright in Brazil, which is promoting a copyright reform law.

How do you see the jurisdiction project contributing to the CC Affiliate Network?

Cooperation with other LatAm countries is essential and should be regarded as a priority. Sadly, for broader reasons Brazil ends up being rather isolated from other LatAm countries, which is bad in every possible sense. CC is a very important possibility for integration, since the challenges in the region have similarities, as well as social and political contexts. Also, CC-Brazil is a senior affiliate and can help some new affiliates if they find it´s necessary.

Many thanks to all who contributed to the localization of the license suite.

Creative Commons is working with Fundação Getulio Vargas’ Law School in Rio de Janeiro to create Brazil jurisdiction-specific licenses from the generic Creative Commons licenses.

==More about Fundação Getulio Vargas==

Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV), founded in 1944, is the leading Brazilian academic institution in the fields of Economics, Public and Business Administration. Being a non-profit institution, its mission is to expand the frontiers of knowledge and to contribute to the country’s social and economic development.

Since the 70′s, FGV has been active in the field of legal education, especially in connection with Economics and Business. Recently, FGV created its own law school at Rio de Janeiro (FGV Direito Rio). From its creation, the Law School has been playing an important role as an interlocutor in policy-making, as well as in the transformation of legal studies in Brazil.

One of its most prominent concentration areas is Law & Technology, where the School cooperates closely with the government and with private entities, aiming to foster the development of the Brazilian information society. In 2003, FGV’s Law School organized together with the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School the I-Law Program, bringing it for the first time to Latin America.
