== Overview ==<br />
<br />
Launched in 2004 and later acquired by Yahoo, Flickr is an image (and recently 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 2007, the site hosts over [http://blog.flickr.net/en/2007/11/13/holy-moly/ two billion images].<br />
<br />
[http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=546695 Some relatively outdated statistics] suggest that, by 2005, the site had acquired 775,000 registered users, though judging by Flickr's growth in the 2 years since then, this number is likely no longer accurate. Furthermore, 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 Shirkey's “Here Comes Everybody” 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 />

== Overview ==<br />
<br />
[http://eyevio.jp/ Sony eyeVio] is an Internet and mobile service in Japan that offers high quality platform for users to upload and share video. Described by Sony CEO [http://www.dtg.org.uk/news/news.php?id=2402 Sir Howard Stringer] as a primary element in the company's ‘quiet software revolution,’ eyeVio strategically complements existing Sony Group assets and businesses. Launched on 29 April 2007 as a Japanese-language video-sharing platform, the eyeVio site makes use of DHTML, AJAX, and a selection of web 2.0 techniques, with content divided into recommended videos and channels. A key feature of eyeVio is the ability to connect directly with Sony hardware devices, such as mobile phones, the PSP and Sony video Walkmen. Highlighting interoperability, users are able to upload files in a wide variety of formats, and are able to specify who can view their content, and how long a video will remain available on the service. <br />
<br />
Unlike most video-sharing sites such as YouTube, which relies on a policy of ‘wait-and-see,’ eyeVio’s staff monitor and review every upload to the site and delete any material they consider to be in breach of copyright laws. This is a significant selling point for businesses in assuring the legitimacy of the content, thereby minimizing their exposure to risk.<br />
<br />
== License Usage ==<br />
<br />
eyeVio’s approach is to let users directly apply any one of the the six Creative Commons licenses to their videos. In point of fact, the site requires a content creator to apply Creative Commons licenses in order to enable the site's video download functionality, which has spurred rapid adoption since the project's launch. To date, nearly all downloadable videos on eyeVio use CC licenses.<br />
<br />
In practice, the use of CC licensing has mostly enabled two types of sharing. For eyeVio, submitted content is more easily shared between members of their online community and beyond without ambiguities in the permissions and limitations on use. For the individual consumer, Creative Commons has also enabled sharing between multiple Sony devices.<br />
<br />
== Motivations ==<br />
<br />
Takeshi Honma, one of the original co-founders of eyeVio and Chief Producer at Sony Corporation, stated in an interview with Creative Commons that the target usage for eyeVio was primarily sharing of video noncommercially among "friends and family." This shaped the two aims that Sony intended to achieve by adopting CC licensing. First, to make it easy for average consumers to use and load content onto their devices, Sony was searching for a way to avoid the copyright management issue faced by many user-generated content services. Second, Honma pointed out that without free available content there would be "nothing" to go on the various players, mobile devices, and other products offered by Sony. In both cases, Creative Commons suggested itself as a useful option. <br />
<br />
Moreover, Creative Commons provided eyeVio with an alternative that provided a better balance of permissible activities available to consumers and creators than a more traditional "all rights reserved" model. In short, while it gave media consumers the freedom to take content across devices, it also provided the flexibility to allow media producers to keep control of their creations.<br />
<br />
== Media ==<br />
<br />
Since the site's launch in 2007, the eyeVio site has become a large aggregator of user-generated, liberally licensed Creative Commons video. The content available ranges from [http://eyevio.jp/movie/107641| short-format amateur footage] to longer shows and podcasts. This includes [http://eyevio.jp/movie/99203| entertainment oriented material], as well as more serious, educational media. <br />
<br />
One notable example in this latter category is the [http://www.thedailyenglishshow.com/| Daily English Show], a popular CC BY licensed internet show based out of Niseko, Hokkaido, Japan, that provides learning materials for English students. Some past episodes of the show are viewable on EyeVio [http://eyevio.jp/movie/127665| here] and [http://eyevio.jp/movie/126829| here].</div>LucasBartonhttps://wiki.creativecommons.org/index.php?title=Metrics&diff=17729Metrics2008-07-07T22:28:33Z<p>LucasBarton: /* Data */</p>

''courtesy the Participatory Media Lab -- more visualizations available [http://pml.wikidot.com/visualizations here]''<br />
<br />
*Giorgos Cheliotis and the researchers at the Participatory Media Lab based at Singapore Management Univerity have been tracking and analyzing the development of Creative Commons worldwide. His 2007 TRPC paper "Taking Stock of the Creative Commons Experiment," is available [http://web.si.umich.edu/tprc/papers/2007/805/CreateCommExp.pdf here]. The Lab's [http://pml.wikidot.com/ research wiki] is a great resource for some of the latest research on CC adoption. <br />
<br />
*Mike Linksvayer, VP of Creative Commons, has also given a few presentations in the past on the analysis and development of metrics for measuring the progress of CC licensing. Slides from those events are available on Slideshare [http://www.slideshare.net/mlinksva/acia-2008-toward-useful-creative-commons-adoption-metrics/ here (from the 2008 ACIA conference)] and [http://www.slideshare.net/mlinksva/creative-commons-metrics/ here (from iSummit 2007)].<br />
<br />
==Upcoming Events==<br />
<br />
*'''July 29th-August 1st''' -- The [[First Interdisciplinary Research Workshop on Free Culture]] will be held this year in Sapporo, Japan.<br />
<br />
==Aggregate web pages licensed==<br />
<br />
[[License statistics]] has basic information about linkback/page/search-engine-query-based license adoption statistics, as well as the '''code''' used to gather this data and '''dumps''' of the data itself.<br />
<br />
==Site-specific metrics==<br />
<br />
[[Content Directories]] lists licensed works counts for many sites that collect CC-licensed works, e.g., about 69 million at Flickr.<br />
<br />
Counts for selected top sites over time may be found on the [[license statistics]] page.<br />
<br />
Eventually code above should be expanded to collect this and finer-grained information (e.g., per site license breakdown) from these sites.<br />
<br />
== Quantitative metrics being prepared by Ankit as part of Summer of Code 2008 ==<br />
By the end of the summer, we hope to have a number of quantitative data from Ankit's [http://code.google.com/soc/2008/cc/appinfo.html?csaid=272B766E2F01CE98 Summer of Code 2008 project] of analyzing our web server logs. These will hopefully include:<br />
* Historical data on license choices at the [http://creativecommons.org/license/ "License your work"] CC license chooser<br />
* Indications based on referrers to our image icons to see if people change the license on web pages or other licensed documents<br />
* Indications based on image icon loading frequency as to which licenses are used by content widely seen by users<br />
* Analysis of search.creativecommons.org logs to see what sorts of licenses and items people search for - and if that has changed over time<br />
* Analysis of license deeds to see if deed information affects choices in /license/<br />
* Geographic sub-analysis of the above<br />

The '''Approximate Minimum Total CC Licensed Works''' is based on licenses reported by Yahoo search queries and [http://flickr.com/creativecommons Flickr] and is the minimum number of licensed works that would satisfy the distribution of license types across both of them. See the [http://code.creativecommons.org/viewsvn/stats/ankit/cc_total_estimate_with_comments.py?view=log estimation code].</div>LucasBartonhttps://wiki.creativecommons.org/index.php?title=Metrics/License_statistics&diff=17728Metrics/License statistics2008-07-07T22:25:37Z<p>LucasBarton: /* Metrics */</p>

<br />
=Caveats=<br />
<br />
Estimating license adoption is a ''very'' inexact science. There is no authoritative source and we neither control nor have inside knowledge of the construction and volatility of the most comprehensive sources -- web search engines. From 2003 through 2005 we relied primarily on Yahoo! link: queries (Google's link: operator obtains ''very'' incomplete results). In late 2005 Google added CC queries via their advanced search page and also via their API (Yahoo! also allows this, but in this case Google's results seem more comprehensive).<br />
<br />
'''NOTE:''' Currently the best analysis of the data similar to that discussed below (based on a snapshot independently gathered in January, 2007 may be found in Giorgos Cheliotis' [http://hoikoinoi.wordpress.com/2007/07/02/cc-stats/ presentation on CC statistics] from June, 2007.<br />
<br />
= Raw search engine query data =<br />
<br />
Creative Commons has irregularly run programs that collect estimated total results from search engine <code>link:{license_uri}</code> queries and queries filtered by license property (Yahoo! and Google advanced [[CcSearch|search]] support filtering by license).<br />
<br />
== Linkback data ==<br />
<br />
You can download raw MySQL dumps that are generated nightly from http://labs.creativecommons.org/~paulproteus/sql-dumps/all.sql.gz -- this includes all data gathered programmatically by CC to date.<br />
<br />
Single day data is available in CSV format from http://labs.creativecommons.org/~paulproteus/csv-dumps/. Here is a guide to the columns in the file:<br />
<br />
# internal ID number for this row (e.g., 5041)<br />
# License URI (e.g., http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/1.0/jp/)<br />
# search engine (e.g., All The Web)<br />
# number of hits (e.g., 4680)<br />
# date and time this linkback query run started (e.g., 2004-Apr-04 0:00:00)<br />
# short form of license jurisdiction (e.g., jp)<br />
# short form of license name (e.g., by-nc)<br />
# license version (e.g., 1)<br />
# long form of license jurisdiction (e.g., Japan)<br />
<br />
'''WARNING:''' There are gaps in the data and results from any given method may be volatile to extremely volatile. Take the raw numbers with a huge grain of salt.<br />
<br />
== Flickr data ==<br />
<br />
Information generated from Flickr is also available [http://labs.creativecommons.org/~paulproteus/stats/flickr/ here], either as:<br />
* One-day CSVs, like this one for [http://labs.creativecommons.org/~paulproteus/stats/flickr/2008-06-23.csv June 23, 2008], or<br />
* One [http://labs.creativecommons.org/~paulproteus/stats/flickr/cumulative.csv cumulative CSV] containing all the Flickr data we have.<br />
<br />
== Software ==<br />
<br />
=== Data gathering ===<br />
<br />
The code used to gather the above data is available from the <code>stats</code> module from our [[Source Repository Information|sourceforge repository]].<br />
<br />
If you want to run it yourself, here's what to do:<br />
<br />
Check out the software:<br />
<br />
* svn co https://cctools.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/cctools/stats<br />
* cd stats<br />
<br />
Configure database access:<br />
<br />
* rename dbconfig_EXAMPLE.py to dbconfig.py with a MySQL database and password you want to use (note that if you want to use a non-MySQL database, most of the tools we use are actually database-agnostic and require only tiny changes)<br />
* mysql -h '''dbserver''' -u'''username''' -p '''databasename''' < create_tables.sql<br />
<br />
Check for dependencies. Note that the script expects Tor to be running on localhost!<br />
<br />
* python sanity_check.py<br />
<br />
Do a stats crawl!<br />
<br />
* python link_counts.py log<br />
<br />
=== Charting ===<br />
The <code>stats</code> module also contains some chart generating code. To run this code:<br />
* Import all.sql.gz into a MySQL database<br />
* Configure the database in dbconfig.py<br />
* Run chart generation software from the stats/reports/ directory.<br />
* Warning: the output is raw and the program takes a long time to run<br />

These charts show a breakdown of the types of licenses deployed and the properties of deployed licenses, based on Yahoo! queries as of 2006-06-13. (As above the Google API is now superior for an aggregate count, but Yahoo link: searches are superior for measuring the relative deployment of specific licenses and thus specific license types.)<br />

== Issues ==<br />
=== Fixed ===<br />
* Until 2008-07-01, the backlinks (e.g. [http://labs.creativecommons.org/~paulproteus/csv-dumps/2004-04-01/00:00:00/linkbacks-daily-Yahoo.csv] and [http://labs.creativecommons.org/~paulproteus/csv-dumps/2004-04-01/00:00:00/linkbacks-daily-Yahoo.csv] for 2004-04-01, Yahoo and Google respectively) between 2004-04-01 and 2005-06-20 were incorrectly labeled.<br />
** The problem was bad importing between data formats in 2005.<br />
** The issue was fully corrected by 2008-07-01.<br />
=== Confirmed ===<br />
* Google API queries are not working properly right now (as of 2008-06-25).<br />

<hr />
<div>=Metrics=<br />
<br />
See [[metrics]] for a broader discussion of CC adoption and impact.<br />
<br />
=Caveats=<br />
<br />
Estimating license adoption is a ''very'' inexact science. There is no authoritative source and we neither control nor have inside knowledge of the construction and volatility of the most comprehensive sources -- web search engines. From 2003 through 2005 we relied primarily on Yahoo! link: queries (Google's link: operator obtains ''very'' incomplete results). In late 2005 Google added CC queries via their advanced search page and also via their API (Yahoo! also allows this, but in this case Google's results seem more comprehensive).<br />
<br />
'''NOTE:''' Currently the best analysis of the data similar to that discussed below (based on a snapshot independently gathered in January, 2007 may be found in Giorgos Cheliotis' [http://hoikoinoi.wordpress.com/2007/07/02/cc-stats/ presentation on CC statistics] from June, 2007.<br />
<br />
= Raw search engine query data =<br />
<br />
Creative Commons has irregularly run programs that collect estimated total results from search engine <code>link:{license_uri}</code> queries and queries filtered by license property (Yahoo! and Google advanced [[CcSearch|search]] support filtering by license).<br />
<br />
== Data ==<br />
<br />
You can download raw MySQL dumps that are generated nightly from http://labs.creativecommons.org/~paulproteus/sql-dumps/all.sql.gz -- this includes all data gathered programmatically by CC to date.<br />
<br />
Single day data is available in CSV format from http://labs.creativecommons.org/~paulproteus/csv-dumps/. Here is a guide to the columns in the file:<br />
<br />
# internal ID number for this row (e.g., 5041)<br />
# License URI (e.g., http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/1.0/jp/)<br />
# search engine (e.g., All The Web)<br />
# number of hits (e.g., 4680)<br />
# date and time this linkback query run started (e.g., 2004-Apr-04 0:00:00)<br />
# short form of license jurisdiction (e.g., jp)<br />
# short form of license name (e.g., by-nc)<br />
# license version (e.g., 1)<br />
# long form of license jurisdiction (e.g., Japan)<br />
<br />
Information generated from Flickr is also available [http://labs.creativecommons.org/~paulproteus/stats/flickr/ here]<br />
<br />
'''WARNING:''' There are gaps in the data and results from any given method may be volatile to extremely volatile. Take the raw numbers with a huge grain of salt.<br />
<br />
== Software ==<br />
<br />
=== Data gathering ===<br />
<br />
The code used to gather the above data is available from the <code>stats</code> module from our [[Source Repository Information|sourceforge repository]].<br />
<br />
If you want to run it yourself, here's what to do:<br />
<br />
Check out the software:<br />
<br />
* svn co https://cctools.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/cctools/stats<br />
* cd stats<br />
<br />
Configure database access:<br />
<br />
* rename dbconfig_EXAMPLE.py to dbconfig.py with a MySQL database and password you want to use (note that if you want to use a non-MySQL database, most of the tools we use are actually database-agnostic and require only tiny changes)<br />
* mysql -h '''dbserver''' -u'''username''' -p '''databasename''' < create_tables.sql<br />
<br />
Check for dependencies. Note that the script expects Tor to be running on localhost!<br />
<br />
* python sanity_check.py<br />
<br />
Do a stats crawl!<br />
<br />
* python link_counts.py log<br />
<br />
=== Charting ===<br />
The <code>stats</code> module also contains some chart generating code. To run this code:<br />
* Import all.sql.gz into a MySQL database<br />
* Configure the database in dbconfig.py<br />
* Run chart generation software from the stats/reports/ directory.<br />
* Warning: the output is raw and the program takes a long time to run<br />
<br />
=Baseline numbers from specific collections=<br />
<br />
We can also know the number of works licensed at various [[content curators]]. The largest of these based on recent (December 2006) for various formats ''may'' (there could easily be a larger CC-licensed video collection than Revver) be:<br />

<br />
=License property charts=<br />
<br />
These charts show a breakdown of the types of licenses deployed and the properties of deployed licenses, based on Yahoo! queries as of 2006-06-13. (As above the Google API is now superior for an aggregate count, but Yahoo link: searches are superior for measuring the relative deployment of specific licenses and thus specific license types.)<br />
<br />

The Lab's [http://pml.wikidot.com/ research wiki] is a great resource for some of the latest research on CC adoption. <br />
<br />
*Mike Linksvayer, VP of Creative Commons, has also given a few presentations in the past on the analysis and development of metrics for measuring the progress of CC licensing. Slides from those events are available on Slideshare [http://www.slideshare.net/mlinksva/acia-2008-toward-useful-creative-commons-adoption-metrics/ here (from the 2008 ACIA conference)] and [http://www.slideshare.net/mlinksva/creative-commons-metrics/ here (from iSummit 2007)].<br />

[[License statistics]] has basic information about linkback/page/search-engine-query-based license adoption statistics, as well as the '''code''' used to gather this data and '''dumps''' of the data itself.<br />
<br />
==Site-specific metrics==<br />
<br />
[[Content curators]] lists licensed works counts for many sites that collect CC-licensed works, e.g., about 69 million at Flickr.<br />
<br />
Counts for selected top sites over time may be found on the [[license statistics]] page.<br />
<br />
Eventually code above should be expanded to collect this and finer-grained information (e.g., per site license breakdown) from these sites. <br />

* Historical data on license choices at the [http://creativecommons.org/license/ "License your work"] CC license chooser<br />
* Indications based on referrers to our image icons to see if people change the license on web pages or other licensed documents<br />
* Indications based on image icon loading frequency as to which licenses are used by content widely seen by users<br />
* Analysis of search.creativecommons.org logs to see what sorts of licenses and items people search for - and if that has changed over time<br />
* Analysis of license deeds to see if deed information affects choices in /license/<br />

== Overview ==<br />
<br />
Google's Summer of Code (SoC) project, first launched in 2005 from an idea by co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page, provides students with stipends to work on a broad array of different free software and open source projects over the summer months. Proposal applications are submitted and then matched with one of more than a hundred partnered open source organizations. In turn, these organizations provide mentors to supervise students throughout the project. SoC has grown at a rapid pace in its first few years, more than doubling the number of students and accepted projects involved (as of 2008, 1125) while more than quadrupling the number of active partner organizations (174) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer_of_code]. Projects in the past have included a mail client project for the mobil project [http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2008#Openmoko_Mail| OpenMoko], a [http://wiki.mozilla.org/Community:SummerOfCode08| newspaper reader extension for Firefox], and improving [https://www.torproject.org/volunteer.html.en#Projects| Tor's censorship evading capability]. Beyond its success as a project providing summer opportunities to students, it is also a prominent implementer of the Creative Commons license, broadly releasing all documentation and APIs created under SoC on liberal terms to the public. <br />
<br />
== License Usage ==<br />
<br />
SoC licenses all the documentation and API's created by the project under [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/| the CC Attribution 2.5 license]. In practice, this has allowed for expanded ease of sharing and embedding of these materials for discussion in blog posts and other media. <br />
<br />
== Motivations ==<br />
<br />
In an interview, Leslie Hawthorn, Google's Open Source Program Manager, laid out two overarching goals that made the CC BY 2.5 license an attractive fit for the Google Summer of Code project. First, Google sees making code widely available online as an important part of their business. As she explained simply, “what's good for the internet is good for Google.” As a result, the Summer of Code project was seeking a license that would lower the barriers for the code to spread and be easily reposted, discussed, and used by third-parties. Google's second related aim was to use a licensing structure that provided the flexibility to be permissive while allowing creators to efficiently maintain certain controls and make stipulations on the use of their work. In both cases, the Creative Commons model of “some rights reserved” matched neatly into their preferences. <br />
<br />
==Projects==<br />
<br />
Creative Commons has paired up as a participating organization with the Summer of Code for the past three years, which has generated some useful examples of the types of projects supported by the program. Details are available at:<br />

== Overview ==<br />
<br />
Google's Summer of Code (SoC) project, first launched in 2005 from an idea by co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page, provides students with stipends to work on a broad array of different free software and open source projects over the summer months. Proposal applications are submitted and then matched with one of more than a hundred partnered open source organizations. In turn, these organizations provide mentors to supervise students throughout the project. SoC has grown at a rapid pace in its first few years, more than doubling the number of students and accepted projects involved (as of 2008, 1125) while more than quadrupling the number of active partner organizations (174) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer_of_code]. Projects in the past have included a mail client project for the mobil project [http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2008#Openmoko_Mail| OpenMoko], a [http://wiki.mozilla.org/Community:SummerOfCode08| newspaper reader extension for Firefox], and improving [https://www.torproject.org/volunteer.html.en#Projects| Tor's censorship evading capability]. Beyond its success as a project providing summer opportunities to students, it is also a prominent implementer of the Creative Commons license, broadly releasing all documentation and APIs created under SoC on liberal terms to the public. <br />
<br />
== License Usage ==<br />
<br />
SoC licenses all the documentation and API's created by the project under [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/| the CC Attribution 2.5 license]. In practice, this has allowed for expanded ease of sharing and embedding of these materials for discussion in blog posts and other media. <br />
<br />
== Motivations ==<br />
<br />
In an interview, Leslie Hawthorn, Google's Open Source Program Manager, laid out two overarching goals that made the CC BY 2.5 license an attractive fit for the Google Summer of Code project. First, Google sees making code widely available online as an important part of their business. As she explained simply, “what's good for the internet is good for Google.” As a result, the Summer of Code project was seeking a license that would lower the barriers for the code to spread and be easily reposted, discussed, and used by third-parties. Google's second related aim was to use a licensing structure that provided the flexibility to be permissive while allowing creators to efficiently maintain certain controls and make stipulations on the use of their work. In both cases, the Creative Commons model of “some rights reserved” matched neatly into their preferences. <br />

== Overview ==<br />
<br />
[http://eyevio.jp/ Sony eyeVio] is an Internet and mobile service in Japan that offers high quality platform for users to upload and share video. Described by Sony CEO [http://www.dtg.org.uk/news/news.php?id=2402 Sir Howard Stringer] as a primary element in the company's ‘quiet software revolution,’ eyeVio strategically complements existing Sony Group assets and businesses. Launched on 29 April 2007 as a Japanese-language video-sharing platform, the eyeVio site makes use of DHTML, AJAX, and a selection of web 2.0 techniques, with content divided into recommended videos and channels. A key feature of eyeVio is the ability to connect directly with Sony hardware devices, such as mobile phones, the PSP and Sony video Walkmen. Highlighting interoperability, users are able to upload files in a wide variety of formats, and are able to specify who can view their content, and how long a video will remain available on the service. <br />
<br />
Unlike most video-sharing sites such as YouTube, which relies on a policy of ‘wait-and-see,’ eyeVio’s staff monitor and review every upload to the site and delete any material they consider to be in breach of copyright laws. This is a significant selling point for businesses in assuring the legitimacy of the content, thereby minimising their exposure to risk.<br />
<br />
== License Usage ==<br />
<br />
eyeVio’s approach is to let users directly apply any one of the the six Creative Commons licenses to their videos. In point of fact, the site requires a content creator to apply Creative Commons licenses before allowing download functionalities on the site, which has spurred rapid adoption since the project's launch. To date, nearly all downloadable videos on eyeVio use CC licenses.<br />
<br />
In practice, the use of CC licensing has mostly enabled two types of sharing. For eyeVio, submitted content is more easily shared between members of their online community and beyond without ambiguities in the permissions and limitations on use. For the individual consumer, Creative Commons has also enabled sharing between multiple Sony devices.<br />
<br />
== Motivations ==<br />
<br />
As Vice President of Sony Media Software and Services Takeshi Homna stated in an interview with Creative Commons, the target market for eyeVio was largely for the sharing of video noncommercially among "friends and family." This shaped the two aims that Sony intended to achieve by adopting CC licensing. First, to make it easy for average consumers to use and load content onto their devices, Sony was searching for a way to avoid the copyright management issue faced by many user-generated content services. Second, Homna pointed out that without free available content there would be "nothing" to go on the various players, mobile devices, and other products offered by Sony. In both cases, Creative Commons suggested itself as a useful option. <br />
<br />
Moreover, Creative Commons provided eyeVio with an alternative that provided a better balance of permissible activities available to consumers and creators than a more traditional "all rights reserved" model. In short, while it gave media consumers the freedom to take content across devices, it also provided the flexibility to allow media producers to keep control of their creations.<br />
<br />
== Media ==<br />
<br />
Since the site's launch in 2007, the eyeVio site has become a large aggregator of user-generated, liberally licensed Creative Commons video. The content available ranges from [http://eyevio.jp/movie/107641| short-format amateur footage] to longer shows and podcasts. This includes [http://eyevio.jp/movie/99203| entertainment oriented material], as well as more serious, educational media. <br />
<br />
One notable example in this latter category is the [http://www.thedailyenglishshow.com/| Daily English Show], a popular CC BY licensed internet show based out of Niseko, Hokkaido, Japan, that provides learning materials for English students. Some past episodes of the show are viewable on EyeVio [http://eyevio.jp/movie/127665| here] and [http://eyevio.jp/movie/126829| here].</div>LucasBartonhttps://wiki.creativecommons.org/index.php?title=Case_Studies/Sony_eyeVio&diff=16927Case Studies/Sony eyeVio2008-06-23T18:25:51Z<p>LucasBarton: /* License Usage */</p>

== Overview ==<br />
<br />
[http://eyevio.jp/ Sony eyeVio] is an Internet and mobile service in Japan that offers high quality videos for friends and families to upload and share. Described by Sony CEO [http://www.dtg.org.uk/news/news.php?id=2402 Sir Howard Stringer] as a primary element in the company's ‘quiet software revolution,’ eyeVio strategically complements existing Sony Group assets and businesses. Launched on 29 April 2007 as a Japanese-language video-sharing platform, the eyeVio site makes use of DHTML, AJAX, and a selection of web 2.0 techniques, with content divided into recommended videos and channels. A key feature of eyeVio is the ability to connect directly with Sony hardware devices, such as mobile phones, the PSP and Sony video Walkmen. Highlighting interoperability, users are able to upload files in a wide variety of formats, and are able to specify who can view their content, and how long a video will remain available on the service. <br />
<br />
Unlike most video-sharing sites such as YouTube, which relies on a policy of ‘wait-and-see,’ eyeVio’s staff monitor and review every upload to the site and delete any material they consider to be in breach of copyright laws. This is a significant selling point for businesses in assuring the legitimacy of the content, thereby minimising their exposure to risk.<br />
<br />
== License Usage ==<br />
<br />
eyeVio’s approach to let users directly apply the six Creative Commons licences to their videos makes transferring videos between multiple devices a worry-free experience. Currently almost 100% of downloadable videos on eyeVio use Creative Commons licences: the site now requires a video creator to apply Creative Commons licences before allowing download functionalities.<br />
<br />
The licence selector offers the user a choice of the six available CCPL.<br />
<br />
== Motivations ==<br />
<br />
As Vice President of Sony Media Software and Services Takeshi Homna stated in an interview with Creative Commons, the target market for eyeVio was largely for the sharing of video noncommercially among "friends and family." This shaped the two aims that Sony intended to achieve by adopting CC licensing. First, to make it easy for average consumers to use and load content onto their devices, Sony was searching for a way to avoid the copyright management issue faced by many user-generated content services. Second, Homna pointed out that without free available content there would be "nothing" to go on the various players, mobile devices, and other products offered by Sony. In both cases, Creative Commons suggested itself as a useful option. <br />
<br />
Moreover, Creative Commons provided eyeVio with an alternative that provided a better balance of permissible activities available to consumers and creators than a more traditional "all rights reserved" model. In short, while it gave media consumers the freedom to take content across devices, it also provided the flexibility to allow media producers to keep control of their creations.<br />
<br />
== Media ==<br />
<br />
Since the site's launch in 2007, the eyeVio site has become a large aggregator of user-generated, liberally licensed Creative Commons video. The content available ranges from [http://eyevio.jp/movie/107641| short-format amateur footage] to longer shows and podcasts. This includes [http://eyevio.jp/movie/99203| entertainment oriented material], as well as more serious, educational media. <br />

Described by Sony CEO [http://www.dtg.org.uk/news/news.php?id=2402 Sir Howard Stringer] as a primary element in the company's ‘quiet software revolution,’ eyeVio strategically complements existing Sony Group assets and businesses. Launched on 29 April 2007 as a Japanese-language video-sharing platform, the eyeVio site makes use of DHTML, AJAX, and a selection of web 2.0 techniques, with content divided into recommended videos and channels. A key feature of eyeVio is the ability to connect directly with Sony hardware devices, such as mobile phones, the PSP and Sony video Walkmen. Highlighting interoperability, users are able to upload files in a wide variety of formats, and are able to specify who can view their content, and how long a video will remain available on the service. <br />
<br />
Unlike most video-sharing sites such as YouTube, which relies on a policy of ‘wait-and-see,’ eyeVio’s staff monitor and review every upload to the site and delete any material they consider to be in breach of copyright laws. This is a significant selling point for businesses in assuring the legitimacy of the content, thereby minimising their exposure to risk.<br />
<br />
== License Usage ==<br />
<br />
eyeVio’s approach to let users directly apply the six Creative Commons licences to their videos makes transferring videos between multiple devices a worry-free experience. Currently almost 100% of downloadable videos on eyeVio use Creative Commons licences: the site now requires a video creator to apply Creative Commons licences before allowing download functionalities.<br />
<br />
The licence selector offers the user a choice of the six available CCPL.<br />
<br />
== Motivations ==<br />
<br />
Integrating Creative Commons into eyeVio has helped solve the copyright management issue faced by many user-generated content services. Creative Commons provides eyeVio with a tool to give media consumers the freedom to take content across devices while maintaining the rights for media producers to keep control of their creations.<br />
