Marking your work with a CC license

<div>==Best Practices for Marking Content with CC Licenses: Creators == <br />
<br />
<div style="padding: 2%;margin:0em 0em 1em 0em; border:1px dotted red; background:#eee; width:60%"><br />
NOTE: This page is for creators and copyright owners who are looking to CC license their own work. If you are looking for the best way to mark CC-licensed work as a user, see http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Marking/Users. If you own a content-sharing site or platform that hosts works by other creators and are interested in enabling CC licensing for your users, see http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Web_Integration.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
As a creator using a CC license, it is important to properly note the license you have chosen so that others know what they can and can't do with your work. No matter what the context, CC licenses should be clearly cited to enable their full potential as a legal tool.<br />
<br />
==Marking on Your Site==<br />
Our [http://creativecommons.org/choose/ license chooser] is designed to make this process simple - answer a few questions and a formatted HTML code will be generated for you:<br />
<br />
# Insert this HTML code into your webpage so that your work is clearly marked.<br />
# This HTML code includes [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Rdfa RDFa], a very important aspect of marking your work so that others can find it easily.<br />
<br />
The specifics of inserting the code depend on how you edit your website. The block of code should be inserted into the page HTML - most desktop website tools like Dreamweaver, Frontpage, or GoLive offer a "code view" that lets you see the code that makes up your page. Near the end of the page before you see </body></html>, paste the HTML code in directly.<br />
<br />
If all of the resources you are publishing on a single website are licensed under the same CC license, it makes sense to paste the HTML code into your website’s template (e.g., in a footer or sidebar area). After saving the template, the chosen license information should appear everywhere on your site. Whether you add license information to a single page or an entire [http://contactspro.net/purple-contacts/ site], once live on the Internet, the license information will be displayed and the machines will be able to detect the license status automatically.<br />
<br />
From there, here are three steps to license notice perfection: <br />
<br />
# The full URI (link) to the license. Example: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/us/.<br />
# A visible notation (most commonly text) that states the license being used. Example: Except where otherwise noted, content on this site is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License.<br />
# Optionally, the appropriate Creative Commons license button or CC icon and license property icon(s). <br />
<br />
{| cellspacing="5" cellpadding="10" style="padding: 2%;margin:0em 0em 1em 0em; border:1px dotted red; background:#eee; width:100%" <br />
|<br />
NOTE: Because each CC license represents a different set of permissions and restrictions, it is important to note the specific license used. Displaying only the CC icon, “Creative Commons”, or “Some Rights Reserved” is insufficient; always include the full URL.<br />
|}<br />
In order for others to credit you for your work, it is preferable to provide an attribution name and URI. The [http://creativecommons.org/choose/ license chooser] provides the proper license button (if you fill in attribution fields) as well as RDFa attribution data. Alternatively, high resolution buttons and license icons are available from [http://creativecommons.org/about/downloads our logo download page].<br />
<br />
For example, see the following screenshot of a license notification that incorporates these best practices:<br />
<br />
[[Image:By_small.jpg]]<br />
<br/><small>This work by [http://opencontent.org/blog David Wiley] is licensed under a [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/us/ Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 United States].</small><br />
<br />
If you visit David's [http://opencontent.org/blog/ blog], you will see this notice at the bottom of the page. The license icon links to the license deed that includes attribution information specific to David. In this case, David filled out the attribution fields in the [http://creativecommons.org/choose/ license chooser], which provided the proper license button and formatted attribution information. He then pasted the resulting HTML code with RDFa into his webpage and included the textual notation of attribution and the specific license that you see above.<br />
<br />
Still confused? Take a look at our visual guide. See [[Website/Publish]] for step by step visuals of copying and pasting the HTML code. This page also contains the same information for pages that host a specific type of media ([[Publish/Audio|audio]], [[Publish/Video|video]], [[Publish/Images|images]], and [[Publish/Text|text]] -- which includes various [[Publish/Text#Blog|blogging]] platforms). <br />
<br />
If your work is a derivative of another original CC-licensed work, be sure to look at our [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Marking/Users Marking for Users] primer as well.<br />
<br />
== Marking Specific Media ==<br />
<br />
While remaining similar in intent, marking will vary depending on the medium. The following are some helpful tips on making sure your media is marked correctly.<br />
<br />
For offline works in general, consider publishing a web page with licensing information about your material. Doing so enables your work to be found by search engines and other web discovery tools.<br />
<br />
Below are general examples for each medium. If a more technical explanation is your goal, please see [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Marking_works Marking Works (technical)]:<br />
<br />
<div style="padding:1.25em 1em; margin-left:-1em; margin-right:-1em; -moz-border-radius:5px; -webkit-border-radius:5px; background-color: #eaeaea; overflow: auto;"><br />
{{PageColumn|<br />
===Offline Text===<br />
<small>(for online text see [[Marking/Creators#Marking_on_Your_Site|Marking on Your Site]])</small><br />
*For documents that are meant to be shared in print format (not read online) it is suggested to use a title and/or copyright page to include the Copyright notice and CC license information. <br />
**After going through the [http://creativecommons.org/choose/ license chooser], you can click on "Mark a document not on the web, add this text to your work" in the lower right column.<br />
**And/or you can refer to this sample copyright notice: "Copyright (c) 2009 by Greg Grossmeier. This work is made available under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 license, http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/."<br />
*It is also suggested that you use a visual license notice. Here is a collection of visual markers that can be used: <br />
**[[CC markers]] and [http://creativecommons.org/about/downloads/ official CC license icons]<br />
**[[User submitted markers]]<br />
* [[Publish/Text | Advanced Instructions: Text]]<br />
<br />
===Image===<br />
*Adding a watermark or other visual marker on an image can ultimately detract from the original. If you choose to, a safe method of indicating license choice consists of two actions: <br />
**When publishing the image on a website, make sure that your license choice is clearly visible, preferably indicated with one of our [http://creativecommons.org/about/downloads/ license icons].<br />
**Ensure search engines can see it also via the use of [[RDFa]], which you can copy and paste from the HTML code given to you by the [http://creativecommons.org/choose/ license chooser]. <br />
*Additionally, you can ensure that the image has [[XMP]] metadata support with your name, date, and license choice. <br />
*[[Publish/Image| Advanced Instructions: Image]]<br />

{{PageColumn|<br />
===Audio===<br />
*For audio files, two actions are recommended: <br />
**When publishing the audio file on a website, make sure that your license choice is clearly visible, preferably using one of our [http://creativecommons.org/about/downloads/ license icons]. <br />
**Ensure search engines can find it via the use of [[RDFa]], which you can copy and paste from the HTML code provided by the [http://creativecommons.org/choose/ license chooser]. <br />
*Additionally, you may want to ensure that the audio file has metadata support with your name, date, and license choice. <br />
**One easy way to do this is to upload your file to music sharing site that has enabled CC licensing. See [[Marking/Creators#Marking on Other Sites|Marking on Other Sites]] below.<br />
**Alternatively, you can use your favorite audio player to add in the information. To learn more see [[Embedded_Metadata]]. You can also see how to add ID3 tags to a common audio file type, such as the [[MP3]], or browse other [[UsingMarkup|file types]]. <br />
*Also, if it is practical to do so (for podcasts, for instance, not song tracks), add an audio bumper to the beginning of the file to indicate your choice of license. Here are some [http://creativecommons.org/podcasting intro bumpers] which you can use to build upon. <br />
*[[Publish/Audio| Advanced Instructions: Audio]]<br />
<br />
===Video===<br />
*For movie formats that have the ability to include a 2-5 second copyright frame, it is advisable to use the same format as what is suggested for textual works: <br />
**Sample Copyright notice: Copyright (c) 2009 by Greg Grossmeier. This work is made available under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 license, http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/.<br />

== Marking Specific Formats ==<br />
* CC-[[OpenOfficeOrg Addin]] for [http://openoffice.org OpenOffice].<br />
* To mark a Microsoft Office word document, you can use the Microsoft Office add-ins for [http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=113b53dd-1cc0-4fbe-9e1d-b91d07c76504&displaylang=en Office 2003/XP] or [http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=d1ddbdc8-627f-415a-9b0a-97362bc9b480&displaylang=en Office 2007]<br />
<br />
== Marking on Other Sites ==<br />
<br />
===[[Publish]]===<br />
<br />
One way to increase visibility and access to your work is to share it with an existing community. Many content platforms have already enabled CC licensing, making it easy for you to indicate the license along with other information, such as who to attribute. In addition, search engines like Google and Yahoo! will index your work as CC licensed if the [[metadata]] is properly attached. <br />
<br />
[[Publish]] your work in an existing community.<br />
<br />
== Marking third-party content in your work ==<br />
Marking best practices also apply for any third party content your work incorporates. If you are incorporating another person's work, even if used under fair use or other exception or limitation to copyright, then you should be sure you are allowed to incorporate that work. Third party content may be offered under the same or different terms, such as other CC licenses or "all-rights-reserved" copyright. If you are permitted to use the work and it is offered under a CC license, then you should consider adhering to best practices for marking that content as a user, available at [[Marking/Users]]. We also offer additional explanation and tips on [[Marking/Creators/Marking_third_party_content|marking third-party content]]. Note that for all third party material accompanying or used with your CC-licensed work, that material is not covered by the terms and conditions of the CC license that '''''you''''' apply, it remains under the terms of the license (if any) that applies to it.<br />

== Overview ==<br />
<br />
Launched in 2004 and later acquired by Yahoo, Flickr is an image and video hosting website that allows users to post, share, and comment on each other's content. These photos are organized by user-submitted tags, which generate emergent folksonomies of thematically linked photos. Users can also create photo pools, which allow others to submit images into publicly available repositories. Notably, the site also allows for Creative Commons licensing support in its service, allowing creators to share certain rights for usage of their photos with others. As of late 2009, the site hosts over [http://blog.flickr.net/en/2009/10/12/4000000000/ four billion images].<br />
<br />
[http://www.flickr.com/help/forum/en-us/97258/ According to a Flickr staff member] in mid-2009, the site had acquired 32+ million registered users. Data on how this user base is distributed worldwide remains unclear. However, Flickr has been notably used by activists to compile and publicize events. Clay Shirky's <em>[http://www.herecomeseverybody.org/ Here Comes Everybody]</em> details the role played by Flickr in circulating photos of political protests in Belarus (p. 167). Similarly, Flickr users [http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/02/04/flickrs-version-of-a-mass-protest/ organized onsite protests] against Microsoft's attempted buyout of Yahoo in 2008.<br />
<br />
== License Usage ==<br />
<br />
Users can choose to release their work under any of the available Creative Commons licenses. As of [http://blog.flickr.net/en/2011/10/05/200-million-creative-commons-photos-and-counting/ October 2011], Flickr hosted over 200 million CC licensed images. In March 2010, Creative Commons [http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/20870 summarized] the growth of CC licensed photos on Flickr over the years.<br />
<br/><br />
<br/>Flickr has also published its [http://code.flickr.com/blog/2009/05/21/flickr-shapefiles-public-dataset-10/ shapefile dataset] online, waiving all copyright restrictions via the CC0 public domain dedication. A shapefile is a file containing shapes mathematically generated by thousands of Flickr geotagged photos of particular neighborhoods,[http://www.tranlegroup.com/ Thiet Ke Web] countries, and continents. Shapefile data has been used to reverse-engineer maps with user generated longitude and latitude coordinates that are then demarcated by Where-On-Earth IDs, "[http://code.flickr.com/blog/2008/10/30/the-shape-of-alpha/ unique numeric identifiers that correspond to the hierarchy of places where a photo was taken: the neighbourhood, the town, the county, and so on up to the continent]."<br />
<br />
== Motivations ==<br />
<br />
Jon Phillips, who worked closely with Flickr on CC integration, commented that open licensing was useful in "providing an interface with the rest of the world and the blogosphere without having to ask permission. It provided, in short, a clear path to usage." <br />
<br/><br />
<br/>When Flickr first integrated CC licensing, they [http://blog.flickr.net/en/2004/06/29/creative-commons/ wrote] that "As individuals and as a company we wholeheartedly support and endorse the Creative Commons’ mission and hope to help contribute to the preservation and enhancement of creative freedom and personal expression."<br />
<br/><br />
<br/>On releasing its shapefile dataset via the CC0 public domain dedication, Flickr [http://code.flickr.com/blog/2009/05/21/flickr-shapefiles-public-dataset-10/ gives the following reasons]:<br />
<blockquote><ul><li>We want people (developers, researchers and anyone else who wants to play) to find new and interesting ways to use the shapefiles and we recognize that, in many cases, this means having access to the entire dataset.</li><br />
<li>We want people to feel both comfortable and confident using this data in their projects and so we opted for a public domain license so no one would have to spend their time wondering about the issue of licensing. We also think the work that the Creative Commons crew is doing is valuable and important and so we chose to release the shapefiles under the CC0 [http://contactspro.net/colored-eye-contacts/ public domain] dedication as a show of support.</li><br />
<li>We want people to create their own shapefiles and to share them so that other people (including us!) can find interesting ways to use them. We’re pretty sure there’s something to this “shapefile stuff” even if we can’t always put our finger on it so if publishing the dataset will encourage others to do the same then we’re happy to do so.</li></ul></blockquote><br />
<br />
== Technical Details ==<br />
<br />
Flickr has implemented 1) a license chooser, 2) the license mark on pages for CC licensed objects, 3) [[CC REL]] metadata, and 4) searching for CC licensed videos.<br />
<br />
=== License chooser ===<br />
There are many ways to CC license your content in Flickr. The three main ways are 1) setting a default license for your account to apply the license to all new uploads, 2) batch-licensing all your previous uploads, or 3) selectively licensing some of your photos.<br />
<br />
====Setting a default license====<br />
To set a default CC license for your content, follow these directions:<br />
<br />
'''1. Go to ''Your account'' and click on the ''Privacy and Permissions'' tab.<br />
<br />
[[Image:flickr1.png|border|link=]]<br />
<br />
'''2. Scroll down to the ''Defaults for new uploads'' section and look for the following line (you may not already have a default license, but the example below does):'''<br />
<br />
[[Image:flickr2.png|border|link=]]<br />
<br />
'''3. Click ''Edit'' and you will be taken to a license chooser to select a new default license for new uploads.'''<br />
<br />
[[Image:flickr3.png|border|link=]]<br />
<br />
====Batch licensing====<br />
<br />
After you've set a default license, you might have photos that were uploaded before you set a default license. You can change the licensing status of those images in multiple ways.<br />
<br />
'''On the same page you used to set a default license, there is a link to a page where you also have the option to ''Batch edit'' the license for all of your previous uploads. So here you can, for example, CC license all of your previously uploaded photos before you had set a default license.'''<br />
<br />
[[Image:flickr4.png|border|link=]]<br />
<br />
'''Otherwise, you can select individual sets of photos to change the licensing status of through the [http://www.flickr.com/photos/organize/ Organize view]. On this page, you can drag photos into the screen, select ''Permissions'' and then select ''Change licensing''.<br />
<br />
[[Image:flickr5.png|border|link=]]<br />
<br />
'''You should be presented with a license chooser:'''<br />

=== Metadata ===<br />
<br />
Flickr has implemented a subset of the [[CC REL]] specification by specifying the 'license' and 'cc:license'. Note that both names are contained in a single rel= attribute, which is perfectly valid, although the two terms are equivalent and therefore it isn't necessary to use both. See [[RelLicense|this wiki page]] for more information.<br />
<br />
'''For an example, see the source code at the top of [http://www.flickr.com/photos/joi/5165089663/ this image's page] for the namespace definitions:'''<br />
<br />
<code><nowiki><br />

== Overview ==<br />
One of the leading pharmaceutical companies in the world, GlaxoSmithKline has surrendered all copyrights in its malarial data set, which includes more than 13,500 compounds known to be active against malaria. The data set is called Tres Cantos Antimalarial (TCAMS), and is available from the ChEMBL-NTD database, "a repository for Open Access primary screening and medicinal chemistry data directed at neglected diseases - endemic tropical diseases of the developing regions of the Africa, Asia, and the Americas."<br />
<br />
== License Usage ==<br />
<br />
GlaxoSmithKline has surrendered all copyright in its malaria data set under the CC0 public domain dedication.<br />
<br />
== Motivations ==<br />
From GSK's http://www.gsk.com/responsibility/downloads/GSK-CR-2009-full.pdf<br />
<br />
<blockquote>"By making this information publicly available, GSK hopes that many other scientists will review this information and analyse the data faster than we could on our own. Hopefully, this will lead to additional research that could help drive the discovery of new medicines. We would also encourage other groups, including academics and pharmaceutical companies, to make their own compounds and related information publicly available.<br />
<br />
<br/><br/>This is essentially an example of ‘open source’ being applied to drug discovery. We know that data increases in value when connected with other data and that the more eyes looking at a problem, the more potential solutions may arise."</blockquote><br />
<br />
Research and development (R&D) for diseases prevalent in the developing world are costly and time-consuming and carry less return on investment than R&D for diseases, such as HIV/AIDS, which have a market in the developed world. Since malaria is a disease that primarily affects the developing world, GSK has released malarial data in order to speed the process of R&D, while providing resources that nonprofits and academic institutions don't necessarily have wide access to, such as advanced technologies, facilities for medicinal drug discovery, and manufacturing and distribution expertise. For more information, see GSK's 2009 [http://watersoftenerreviewspro.com/ report on]<br />

[[Image:Xmp_tagline.png|right]]<br />
[http://www.adobe.com/products/xmp XMP] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Metadata_Platform Extensible Metadata Platform]) facilitates embedding metadata in files using a subset of RDF. Most notably, XMP supports embedding metadata in PDF and many image formats, though it is designed to support nearly any file type. <br />
<br />
Creative Commons is recommending XMP as the preferred format for embedded metadata, given its [http://web.archive.org/web/20070426051136/http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/xmptoolkit/#FAQ support for numerous file formats] and the balkanized state of embedded metadata standards. Others are coming to a similar conclusion; Microsoft has announced support for [http://blogs.msdn.com/pix/archive/2006/08/23/715340.aspx XMP in Vista applications] and Jon Udell [http://blog.jonudell.net/2007/02/14/truth-files-microformats-and-xmp/ notes] "There’s also good support in .NET Framework 3.0 for reading and writing XMP metadata." Note that even when embedded with XMP metadata, Creative Commons recommends a licensed document include a visible copyright notice; [[Marking|format-specific recommendations]] for visible notices are available.<br />
<br />
The Creative Commons [http://www.creativecommons.org/license/ licensing process] offers a XMP template which may be used to mark files within XMP-supporting [[XMP help for Adobe applications|Adobe applications (step-by-step how-to document)]]. An [[Adobe_Metadata_Panel|XMP FileInfo panel]] is also available.<br />
<br />
== Specifying License Information ==<br />
<br />
XMP [http://www.adobe.com/devnet/xmp/ defines] a rights management schema (see XMP Specification, p. 42). Creative Commons sets the following properties (example values):<br />
<br />
* '''xmpRights:Marked''' &mdash; ''False'' if Public Domain, ''True'' otherwise.<br />
* '''xmpRights:WebStatement''' &mdash; ''http://example.com/pdf-metadata.html'' (Replace with URL containing metadata about the XMP-embedded file; this is referred to as the [[WebStatement|Web Statement]].)<br />
* '''xmpRights:UsageTerms''' &mdash; An optional field describing legal terms of use; Creative Commons recommends that when present this take the form ''This work is licensed to the public under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license http://creativecommons.org/licenses/bysa/2.0/ verify at http://example.com/pdfmetadata.html'' (Replace URL following 'verify at' with URL containing metadata about the XMP-embedded file; this is typically the URL specified by '''xmpRights:WebStatement'''.)<br />'''''Note''': as of 2011-05 http://www.metadataworkinggroup.org/pdf/mwg_guidance.pdf suggests using '''dc:rights''' and xmpRights:WebStatement; it probably makes sense to populate dc:rights and xmpRights:UsageTerms with identical content.''<br />
<br />
We also define a Creative Commons schema ''http://creativecommons.org/ns#'' whose common prefix is cc. It currently has the following properties:<br />
<br />
* '''license''' &mdash; The license URL; for example, ''http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/''.<br />
* '''morePermissions''' &mdash; A URL where additional permissions (commercial licensing, etc) are available.<br />
* '''attributionURL''' &mdash; The URL to use when attributing this work.<br />
* '''attributionName''' &mdash; The creator's preferred name to use when attributing this work.<br />
<br />
== Verification Links and XMP ==<br />
<br />
A publisher can boost confidence in embedded metadata by providing a '''verifying web statement'''. A verifying web statement is a [http://watersoftenerreviewspro.com/water-softener-comparison/ URL] which contains metadata with assertions matching those embedded in the file. The difference is that instead of making the assertions about a URL, the assertions are made in reference to the SHA-1 hash of the file.<br />
<br />
For example, the example web statement <code>http://example.com/pdf-metadata.html</code> would include metadata encoded as [[RDFa]].<br />
<br />
<code><pre><br />
<p>The document example.pdf is licensed under a <br />
<a about="urn:sha1:MSMBC5VEUDLTC26UT5W7GZBAKZHCY2MD" rel="license" <br />
href="http://creativecommons.org/license/by/3.0/"><br />
Creative Commons Attribution 3.0</a> license.<br />
</a><br />
</p><br />
</pre></code><br />
<br />
When processing a file containing an embedded web statement, an application can retrieve the statement and parse it for additional metadata. If matching assertions are found which apply to the calculated SHA-1 hash of the file, the application can display an indicator noting increased confidence in the metadata. This approach has the added benefit of taking advantage of an existing mechanism (copyright take-down procedures) in order to break the confidence in the case of inappropriately licensed material.<br />

==Best Practices for Marking Content with CC Licenses: Users==<br />
<br />
<div style="padding: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; border: 1px dotted red; background-color: #eee; width: 65%;"><br />
NOTE: This page is for users of others' works who are seeking best practices on how to attribute CC-licensed content. If you are looking for the best way to mark your own CC-licensed work as a creator, see http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Marking/Creators. If you own a content-sharing site or platform that hosts works by other creators and are interested in enabling CC licensing for your users, see http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Web_Integration.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
When reusing a CC-licensed work (via sharing the original or a derivative based on the original), it is your legal obligation to include what license is being used, as well as abiding by the license conditions provided by the licensor, aka the creator or content owner of the work.<br />
<br />
==Marking on Your Site==<br />
<br/><br />
Adapted from our [[FAQ#How_do_I_properly_attribute_a_Creative_Commons_licensed_work.3F|FAQ]]:<br />
<br />
'''How do I properly attribute a Creative Commons licensed work?'''<br />
<br />
All current CC licenses require that you attribute the original author(s). If the copyright holder has not specified any particular way to attribute them, this does not mean that you do not have to give attribution[http://lbi-beachrental.com .] It simply means that you will have to give attribution to the best of your ability with the information you do have[http://www.cprlaw.com .] Generally speaking, this implies five things:<br />
<br />
* If the work itself contains any copyright notices placed there by the copyright holder, you must leave those notices intact, or reproduce them in a way that is reasonable to the medium in which you are re-publishing the work.<br />
<br />
* Cite the author's name, screen name, user identification, etc. It is nice to link that name to the person's profile page, if such a page exists.<br />
<br />
* Cite the work's title or name, if such a thing exists. It is nice to link the name or title directly to the original work.<br />
<br />
* Cite the specific CC license the work is under, and link to the specific CC license, ie. for CC Attribution you would link to http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0.<br />
<br />
* If you are making a derivative work or adaptation, in addition to the above, you need to identify that your work is a derivative work i.e., “This is a Finnish translation of the [original work] by [author].” or “Screenplay based on [original work] by [author].”<br />
<br />
In the case where a copyright holder does choose to specify the manner of attribution, in addition to the requirement of leaving intact existing copyright notices, they are only able to require certain things[http://nynjlaw.com .] Namely:<br />
<br />
* They may require that you attribute the work to a certain name, pseudonym or even an organization of some sort.<br />
<br />
* They may require you to associate/provide a certain URL (web address) for the work.<br />
<br />
If you are interested to see what an actual license ("legalcode") has to say about attribution, you can use the CC Attribution 3.0 Unported license as an example. Please note that this is '''only an example''', and you should '''always''' read the appropriate section of the specific license in question...usually, but perhaps not always, section 4: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode<br />
<br />
===Examples===<br />
<br />
'''Attributing the original work'''<br />
:"My Awesome Photo," © 2009 Greg Grossmeier, used under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/<br />
<br />
'''Attributing your derivative use of the work'''<br />
:This is a Finnish translation of "My Awesome Report" © 2009 by Greg Grossmeier, used under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/. This Finnish translation is licensed under the same Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/. <br />
<br />
===Marking works offered under other CC licenses===<br />
<br />
If you are using other works offered under different Creative Commons licenses, the best practices above also apply to each work you use. Here's how you may want to consider marking content that is licensed differently.<br />
<br />
Example of marking a report under a CC license:<br />
<br />
:Except otherwise noted, this report is © 2009 Greg Grossmeier, under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/. <br />
<br />
Example of marking a photo from the report that is under a different CC license:<br />
<br />
:The photo X is © 2009 Jane Park, used under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial license: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/.<br />
<br />
If you are a creator that is incorporating third party items into your work, see our page containing additional explanation and tips for creators on [[Marking/Creators/Marking_third_party_content|marking third party works]].<br />
<br />
=== Is your attribution good enough? ===<br />
<br />
Ask yourself whether an interested viewer/reader/listener/other user is able to easily discern who gets credit (attribution) for the original work, and the freedoms associated with that work (license notice). If they can, great! If not, consider whether you are making a good faith effort to use the licensed work according to its terms.<br />
<br />
If in doubt, you can try asking the original publisher. They may have already provided attribution guidelines, e.g., http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reusing_Wikipedia_content.<br />
<br />
== Marking Specific Media ==<br />
The above best practices for attribution apply to various mediums as well, though marking will vary depending on the medium. The following are some helpful tips on making sure your media is marked correctly.<br />
<br />
For offline works in general, consider publishing a web page with attribution information about the work you are using. Doing so enables the work to be found by search engines and other web discovery [http://watersoftenerreviewspro.com/whole-house-water-softener/ tools]. <br />
<br />
=== Crediting in Video ===<br />
<br />
Adding the appropriate credit information to your videos could be as simple as a list of the works used at the end with their associated license. Eg:<br />
<br />
{| cellspacing="5" cellpadding="10" style="padding: 2%;margin:0em 0em 1em 0em; border:1px; background:#eee; width:100%" <br />
|<br />
<br />
This video features the following songs:<br />
<br />
“Desaprendere (Treatment)” by fourstones, available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial license.<br />
<br />
“Some Other Song” by fourstones, available under a Creative Commons Attribution license.<br />
<br />
|}<br />
<br />
If possible, it is desirable to make the title, author, and license links the viewer can follow.<br />
<br />
=== Crediting in Offline Text ===<br />
<br />
A similar format to [[Marking/Users#Marking_on_Your_Site|Marking on Your Site]] above.<br />
<br />
=== Crediting in Audio ===<br />
<br />
If available online provide a "credit list" of material used with the added ability to create links for text available online.<br />
<br />
=== Crediting in Images ===<br />
<br />
If available online provide a "credit list" of material used with the added ability to create links for text available online.<br />

<p>Calvinharris: /* Appropedia's Public Domain Search */</p>
<hr />
<div>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.<br />
<br />
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<br />

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.

== Overview ==<br />
<br />
Jonathan Coulton is a singer-songwriter and musician based in Brooklyn, New York, in the United States of America. Coulton refers to his music as an experiment in the new ways in which content will be distributed and disseminated as a result of the Internet. His rationale, in his own words, is that, ‘I give away music because I want to make music, and I can’t make music unless I make money, and I won’t make any money unless I get heard, and I won’t get heard unless I give away music.' (http://www.jonathancoulton.com/faq#Who). In 2005, Coulton began a project entitled 'Thing a Week', where he wrote and released a new song on his [http://www.visalusscam.org visalus] every week for a year (http://www.jonathancoulton.com/primer/thing-a-week). The project was aimed at getting publicity for Coulton's music, and several of the songs including 'Flickr' and 'Code Monkey' were big Internet hits. The Thing a Week project was released via a weekly podcast, with each song being available under the Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial licence. <br />
<br />
Jonathan Coulton has all of his music available to stream on his [http://pwww.jonathancoulton.com website], as well as many of the songs available for free download on his [http://www.visalusscam.org visalus scam]. Customers can then buy songs in either mp3 or FLAC format for $US1 and albums for between $US5 –$US10. Customers can also make donations via Paypal or Amazon, buy physical CDs through online distributor CD Baby, download songs as ringtones for free, or buy t-shirts, books and games from the merchandise section. There are even karaoke versions available of some of the songs. Evidencing his enthusiasm for engaging fans, Coulton has even performed concerts in the virtual world, [http://www.secondlife.com Second Life] (http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/6056).<br />
<br />
In a May, 2011 interview Coulton noted that he made $500k from his music in 2010. (http://www.techdirt.com/blog/casestudies/articles/20110515/23234814274/another-exception-jonathan-coulton-making-half-million-year-with-no-record-label.shtml)<br />
<br />
== License Usage ==<br />
<br />
The licence adopted for all Jonathan Coulton songs is the [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial 3.0 licence]. The licence is applied to songs available on Coulton's website both for download and as streaming content. Coulton [http://www.jonathancoulton.com/faq#Use highlights] the importance he places on allowing his fans to have the chance to use his work in whatever way they choose, including remixing and adding to his work.<br />
<br />
Though unable to release any statistics, Jonathan says that some of his songs have been downloaded hundreds of thousands of times, and 45% of his income in 2007 was from paid digital downloads (Interview by James Milsom with Jonathan Coulton via email, 5 April 2008). This evidences the success Jonathan has had through the use of Creative Commons licences facilitating the ability to give content away for free [http://basketballtrainingpro.com basketball training]. Jonathan's content has been used in music videos made by fans and posted on Youtube, subsequently receiving (in some cases) over a million hits. Fans have also created cover versions of his songs, artwork, dances, plays, card games and even guitar instructional videos. Coulton says that this sort of outcome is very satisfying and validating, but more importantly from a business point of view, such enthusiasm from fans has meant that he has received a great amount of free publicity.<br />
<br />
== Motivations ==<br />
<br />
Jonathan Coulton heard about open content licensing through his previous work writing software. He heard Lawrence Lessig speak at the PopTech conference in 2003, and was [http://www.jonathancoulton.com/faq#CC sold on the Creative Commons rationale] immediately. <br />
<br />
When asked about the benefits of licensing his music under CC by Wagner James Au for New World Notes in September 2006, Jonathan [http://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2006/09/the_second_life.html responded]:<br />
<br />
:'It’s gone very well for me. At first, even though I was all fired up about the possibilities of CC, I still had that panicky lizard-brain fear about file sharing. I can understand why it’s a hard thing for people in the industry to get over – I totally sympathise. But at least for someone in my position, it’s the best thing I could have done. Every month I get more traffic, more donations/sales, and more fans. I’m quite certain that having a CC license on all the music has really helped that process. If someone who’s never heard my music before gets a free mp3 (or twenty) and likes it, chances are they’re going to pass it along to some friends, blog about it, maybe even make a video for it. Each one of those outcomes means more exposure, more fans, and more chances for people to pay me – something that wouldn’t have happened as easily if the music was all locked up with DRM and the full battery of copyright restrictions.' <br />
<br />
Creative Commons licensing was chosen for its ability to facilitate sharing of content easily for publicity. Also, while understanding the significance of being able to give music away legally, Jonathan sees the importance of protecting some rights in the music, and the non-commercial aspect of the licence he uses serves this purpose well. He sees it as important for musicians to reserve their right to commercially license their content if an opportunity to do so comes their way.<br />
<br />
Jonathan uses the Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial 3.0 licence. Following trials using licences that incorporated the ShareAlike provision, Jonathan found that it was too difficult to monitor whether people were indeed 'sharing alike' and licensing his content in the same manner that he had licensed it. For that reason, he abandoned use of the ShareAlike provision. <br />
<br />
Having had considerable success owing to Creative Commons licensing, Jonathan Coulton has also seen the difficulties that arise with commercial licensing of content. He has had many offers from businesses hoping to license content for commercial use for small fees. Such situations, he argues, are hard to justify using a lawyer to negotiate and contract into, as they will most likely not earn a lot of money. He suggests that if there were a boilerplate solution similar to the Creative Commons licences that enabled artists to commercially license their work easily this would be of great benefit.
