<div>The internet and technology have changed how people access images, and photographers are responding by employing new methods to reach audiences. These methods include personal websites, social media tools, photo-sharing platforms and communities, and tools such as Creative Commons licenses that enable easy sharing and reuse of creative works.<br />
<br />
CC licenses are a flexible way to share images while building on the strong foundation of traditional copyright law. Simply put, Creative Commons licenses allow the shift from “all rights reserved” to “some rights reserved,” enabling you to share your images under terms of your own choosing. This gives you control over distribution, and the non-exclusivity of the licenses means you can retain all commercial rights if desired. <br />
<br />
[[#Photographers_using_CC_licenses|Photographers using CC licenses]] gain new audiences for their work on photo-sharing platforms like [http://www.flickr.com/creativecommons Flickr] and communities like [http://www.wikipedia.org/ Wikipedia]. Mohamed Nanabhay, Head of Online, Al Jazeera English, [http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/18213 writes]:<br />
:“When launching our [CC] repository, we had thought that it would be a key resource for anyone producing content on the war and that it would primarily be used by other news organisations and documentary filmmakers. What we saw was both surprising and delightful. Soon after posting our first video, Wikipedia editors had extracted images to enhance the encyclopedia entries on the War on Gaza. Soon thereafter educators, filmmakers, video game developers, aid agencies and music video producers all used and built upon our footage.”<br />
<br />
Wikipedia is a heavily-trafficked website with over 400 million unique visitors a month. Flickr contains over 200 million CC-licensed photos, establishing it as the Web’s single largest source of CC-licensed content.<br />
<br />
In 2008, DigitalPhotoPro published an [http://www.digitalphotopro.com/business/creative-commons.html article on the use of CC licenses by professional photographers] with advice for those thinking of using CC themselves.<br />

:“Creative Commons enables me to use existing architecture really smoothly and to address the digital natives’ social media habits. The mode of information is the same, but the mode of distribution has changed. We don’t have all the answers, but CC lets me choose my flavor and helps me take advantage of the things working against me.”<br />
<br />
British photographer Jonathan Worth’s work hangs in the National Portrait Gallery in London. He teaches photography at Coventry University in the U.K, and [http://www.phonar.covmedia.co.uk/ his course materials] are released as open educational resources (OER) under [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ CC BY-SA]. He has photographed actors Colin Firth, Rachel Hunter, Jude Law and Heath Ledger. He is also one of an emerging group of photographers experimenting with sustainable working practices for professional image makers in the digital age. Jonathan Worth has been featured in:<br />

===[[Case_Studies/Lan_Bui|Lan Bui]]===<br />
<div class="smimg">{{#show: Case_Studies/Lan_Bui|?Image Header|link=none}}<br />
Lan Bui "makes media." From photography of tech celebrities (Veronica Belmont, Zadi Diaz, Casey McKinnon) and The Ninja to videos for professionals and events (Comic Con and Pixelodeon), Lan (with help from his brother Vu) makes them all from start to finish. Lan echoes the thoughts of other artists using Creative Commons; the idea that your work is, in a way, an advertisement for yourself and future work. Lan expresses this in this way: "I think that people pay me for my time and talent, not for the actual images I deliver." <br />

Monkeyc.net is the moniker of John Harvey, a Brisbane-based former photojournalist who licenses his Flickr photo stream under Creative Commons. John is an active member of the Flickr community, having first uploaded a photo on 26 September 2004 and now sporting a collection of close to 1,000 images, and encourages others to engage likewise. Several of John’s photographs have been featured on Flickr’s ‘Explore’ page, as an indication of their popularity in the Flickr community.<br />

===Vinoth Chandar===<br />
Vinoth Chandar is a professional photographer who releases many of his photographs under the [[Creative Commons Attribution]] licence, saying that "I use [the] Attribution Creative Commons licence for all my photos because I want everybody to use my photo and credit me ... This way, my photos reach every corner of the world without any effort from my side except taking the photos and uploading it to Flickr."<ref>http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2011-12/16/creative-commons-gallery</ref><br />
<br />
One example he used of the exposure provided by free culture licensing was the use of one of his photos for the cover of a popular Italian magazine. "I am an Indian and how else in the world can an Indian photographer expect his photo to be published in an Italian magazine? CC licence made this possible."<ref>http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2011-12/16/creative-commons-gallery</ref><br />
<br />
==Enforceability of CC licenses in photography==<br />
CC licenses have been upheld in several [[Case_Law|court cases]] around the world. A few of these cases pertain specifically to CC-licensed images.<br />
<br />
*In [[Curry_v._Audax |Curry v. Audax]], Adam Curry, a former MTV VJ and one of the pioneers of podcasting, published photos onto his Flickr account under a BY-NC-SA license. A Dutch tabloid reprinted four of the photos in a story about the Curry family's public persona verses real private life. Curry sued the tabloid for violating the portrait rights of his family and for copyright violation over the improper user of his Flickr photos. The Dutch court held that, in the future, the tabloid could not use any of the photos from Flickr in the future unless under the terms of the photos' CC license or with permission from Curry. <br />
*In [[Gerlach_vs._DVU|Gerlach vs. DVU]], Gerlach took a picture of the German politician Thilo Sarrazin at a public event and published it online under the Creative Commons license BY SA 3.0 Unported. Later the DVU, a German political party used the picture on their website without the plaintiff's name, the license notice or any other requirement of the license. The applicant sent a notice and takedown letter to which the party didn't react. Subsequently the applicant sought preliminary injunction before the Disctrict Court of Berlin against the unauthorized publication of the picture. The District Court of Berlin granted the injunction because the applicant had successfully established prima-facie evidence of authorship, of the licensing and of the breach of the license.<br />
*In [[TA_3560/09,_3561/09,_Avi_Re%27uveni_v._Mapa_inc._%D7%99%D7%A9%D7%A8%D7%90%D7%9C:_%D7%9C%D7%A8%D7%90%D7%A9%D7%95%D7%A0%D7%94,_%D7%91%D7%99%D7%94%D7%9E%22%D7%A9_%D7%90%D7%9B%D7%A3_%D7%A8%D7%99%D7%A9%D7%99%D7%95%D7%9F_%D7%A7%D7%A8%D7%99%D7%90%D7%99%D7%99%D7%98%D7%99%D7%91_%D7%A7%D7%95%D7%9E%D7%95%D7%A0%D7%A1 |Avi Re’uveni v. Mapa inc.]], plaintiffs uploaded photographs to Flickr and and offered them under a Creative Commons BY-NC-ND license. The defendant made a collage from the plaintiffs’ and other photographs and sold them without attribution. The court found the defendant guilty of copyright infringement. The defendant claimed ignorance of the copyright and license, but the court found that this did not matter.<br />
<br />
==Photo-sharing sites that have enabled CC licenses==<br />
<br />
===[[Case_Studies/Flickr|Flickr]]===<br />
<div class="smimg">{{#show: Case_Studies/Flickr|?Image Header|link=none}}<br />
Flickr was one of the first major online communities to incorporate Creative Commons licensing options into its user interface, giving photographers around the world the easy ability to share photos on terms of their choosing. As the Flickr community grew, so did the number of CC-licensed images — currently there are well over 200 million on the site — establishing Flickr as the Web’s single largest source of CC-licensed content.<br />

<br />
==How To Publish photos in an online community==<br />
One way to increase visibility and access to your photos is to share it with an existing community that has 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. See [[Publish/Images]] for more info.<br />
<br />
==Finding CC-licensed photos==<br />
Thanks to the machine-readability of CC licenses, CC-licensed images can be found via:<br />
<br />
*[http://images.google.com/advanced_image_search?hl=en Google Advanced Image Search] by specifying options under "Usage Rights"<br />
*[http://images.search.yahoo.com/images/advanced?ei=UTF-8 Yahoo! Advanced Image Search] by specifying options under "Creative Commons License"<br />
*It appears that Yahoo Advanced Image Search no longer offers this option. Can anyone else confirm this?<br />
*[http://docs.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=179622 Google Docs], where Google Image Search has been integrated<br />
*[http://search.creativecommons.org/ CC Search Portal], which is not a search engine, but a tool that offers convenient access to search services provided by independent organizations, such as Flickr, Google, and Wikimedia Commons (media repository for [http://www.articleeveryday.com/ articles] featured on Wikipedia).<br />

[http://www.besteducationaltoysforkids.com/page/products][http://digitalmarketing.blog.terra.com.br/otimizacao/ ==] Website URLs? [http://souzaportugal.vilabol.uol.com.br/ ==]<br />
<br />
For any of the websites in the lists that have specific Creative Commons webpages or search forms, I think that the URL should be for that page, instead of the main page for the website. For example, for Flickr, the URL should be http://flickr.com/creativecommons/.

== 'education' and 'geodata' are not content formats ==<br />
<br />
Well, at least education isn't.<br />
<br />
I removed the education and geodata queries -- they weren't working properly as those are not allowable values of [[Property:Format]]<br />
<br />
I suspect we should have another property that education would be the value of (audience?).<br />
<br />
We may want to add geodata as a format, but I'm not sure -- there are lots of other kinds of data, and licensing around any of them is controversial. [[User:Mike Linksvayer|Mike Linksvayer]] 03:30, 7 July 2008 (UTC)<br />

== Table of Contents ==<br />
<br />
The page seemed sorely in need of a tablet of contents since each section is so long. It appears one was intentionally omitted with a __NOTOC__ so I'm adding this note to point out that I deleted it since I have no guess as to why a TOC would not be desired. --[[User:BillCamp|BillCamp]] 03:58, 20 April 2010 (UTC)<br />

'''Self-Identified Region(s)''', i.e. Europe, Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, North America, Arab world:<br />
Southern Africa <br />
Why do you identify yourself as being part of the listed region(s)? <br />
That's where we are!<br />
<br />
==Vision==<br />
'''Why is Creative Commons important for the jurisdiction?'''<br />
<br />
Emerging creatives need free and shareable resources to build on. Exposure of Southern African creativity to other markets through open licensing. South African political leaders are suspicious of internet freedom, so this needs to be protected, and the cause for internet freedoms needs to be embedded.<br />
<br />
'''What do you think makes a successful jurisdiction project?'''<br />
<br />
Broad awareness and use of CC among individuals, businesses, private and public institutions. Public dialogue around internet freedoms, including CC. Partnership with related organisations and non-profits Use of CC in OER in universities and schools. Self-sustaining, active community of volunteers and supporters.<br />
<br />
'''How do you see the jurisdiction project contributing to the CC Affiliate Network?'''<br />
<br />
Localized licenses in an important emerging economy Add an African perspective to CC related discussions. To help kick-start CC projects in other African countries. Introducing more African works into the CC pool. <br />
<br />
==Community==<br />
'''Describe the communities that are currently active in the project.''' <br />
<br />
Universities, software programmers, media geeks, musicians, authors, publishers, marketers<br />
<br />
'''How will you continue to engage with these communities?'''<br />
<br />
We will increase our engagement through: Conference talks, website, Twitter, Legal advice, [http://www.tittbit.in email].<br />
<br />
'''Describe the communities (existing or new) that you plan to focus on during the timeframe covered by this roadmap?'''<br />
<br />
Universities + OER community, Artists<br />
<br />
'''How do you plan to engage with these communities?'''<br />
<br />
Twitter, CC SA website, Other Websites and social networks, Conference talks, Workshops.<br />
<br />
==Priority Goals==<br />
'''What are the three most important focus areas on which the Affiliate Team will work during this time period? Please consider community building and adoption goals among your priorities.'''<br />
<br />
1. Focus-area: '''License 3.0'''<br />
Why is it important?<br />
License contains important improvements on v.2.5<br />
<br />
Which communities will benefit?<br />
All users of CC <br />
<br />
2. Focus-area: '''Website Update'''<br />
This includes things like: a collection of case-studies or organisations using CC in South Africa (wiki); Monthly news (at the minimum); Acknowledge all CC SA volunteers and organizational supporters; Put more information about Creative Commons Licensing (including videos) - linking; Links and feeds to and from our other social media profiles<br />
<br />
Why is it important?<br />
This is most people's first stop in getting more information about Creative Commons South Africa. It's the virtual home of the community.<br />
<br />
Which communities will benefit ?<br />
All CC South Africa stakeholders. <br />
<br />
3. Focus-area: '''Open Education Resources Localized Statement'''<br />
<br />
Why is it important?<br />
Many university players have not yet understood that CC is an important part in making OER work. It's a hot topic, which is an opportunity to align ourselves with a relevant and important cause.<br />
<br />
Which communities will benefit?<br />
Universities and Schools.<br />
<br />
4. '''Getting organizational support''', where other companies will offer to provide resources for us, such as printing & Public Relations services. <br />
A list of companies who are prepared to volunteer their services in kind so we know who to call on if necessary.<br />
<br />
5. Join the discussions around the new "IPR from Publicly Financed Research and Development Act" (BAYH - DOLE - like legislation) in South Africa through the website, conference talks, Debates, Petitions & Twitter.<br />
<br />
==Project Outputs==<br />
'''Detail tangible project outputs (e.g., events, papers, blog posts, video/films, etc.) for each focus area including an expected date of completion. See also Timeline.'''<br />
The outputs we plan to complete are as follows:<br />
<br />
# Focus-area: 3.0 licences for South Africa<br />
## Project Output: 3.0 licences for South Africa<br />
## Expected start date: already started - Expected date of completion: June 2011<br />
## Team Member(s) Responsible: Tobias Schonwetter<br />
## How will this output help achieve your goals? Having the most up to date licences is crucial for project success and also shows the commitment of the team.<br />
<br />
# Focus-area<br />
## Project Output: Website update<br />
## Expected start date: 26 January 2011 - Expected date of completion: 31 March 2011 and ongoing thereafter<br />

## Project Output: easy-to-grab licenses for South African Twiiter users <br />
## Expected start date: already started - Expected date of completion: 26 Jan 2011<br />
## Team Member(s) Responsible: Paul Scott<br />
## How will this output help achieve your goals? Awareness of CC and particularly to help answer the localised jurisdiction of CC. Followers to CC South Africa’s tweetstream develops the community and exposes them to news and resources from the team. <br />
<br />
==Metrics==<br />
Please consider using trackable statistics (such as web traffic or number of license adoptions) when applicable, but only if meaningful.<br />
* How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 1? N/A<br />
* How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 2? N/A<br />
* How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 3? N/A<br />
<br />
==Resources Required==<br />
===People===<br />
'''What human resources or expertise must the team seek out or add to your existing resources, if any, in order to achieve your priority goals?'''<br />
<br />
In 2010, we identified the need to add a "technical lead" to the team and Paul Scott has joined the team to fill this gap (no MoU signed yet). The public lead position is currently being transition to a new lead with the current lead remaining actively involved still. The legal lead has a loose network of supporters to assist with the licence update.<br />
<br />
'''How will you involve these people?'''<br />
They are already involved, we have monthly meetings and supporters will be acknowledged on the website.<br />
<br />
===Technology===<br />
<br />
'''What technology resources must the team seek out or add to your existing resources, if any, in order to achieve your priority goals?'''<br />
<br />
'''How will you obtain these technology resources?'''<br />
<br />
===Materials===<br />
'''What material resources must the team seek out or add to your existing resources, if any, in order to achieve your priority goals?'''<br />
It would be fantastic if CC international could supply us with merchandise and other marketing materials free of charge!!!<br />
'''How will you obtain these material resources?'''<br />
Just send it by post ;-)<br />
<br />
===Other===<br />
'''What other resources must the team seek out or add to all the other resources, if any, in order to achieve your priority goals?'''<br />
'''How will you obtain these other resources?'''<br />
<br />
==Sustainability and Scalability==<br />
'''How will you ensure your goals will be completed if unforeseen circumstances interrupt the project, such as changes in the leadership of the project or outputs taking longer to complete than anticipated?'''<br />
<br />
Regular meetings and open discussions among team members; through community discourse and accountability<br />
<br />
'''How will you communicate the project's on-going progress and setbacks within the jurisdiction and the CC Affiliate Network? (e.g. email list updates, meetings, press releases)''': <br />
emails, website, social media platforms, meetings<br />
<br />
'''How will you document the project so that others may replicate or learn from your efforts?'''<br />
Creative Commons wiki and our website (and through all of the above communication tools for that matter)<br />
<br />
==Collaboration==<br />
Please have a look at other roadmaps.<br />
'''How could the jurisdiction's plans help drive or support other jurisdictions' activities?'''<br />
<br />
CC South Africa considers itself a pioneer project for CC licensing in Africa and therefore strives to support interested individuals and organisations on the African continent to also initiate CC licensing projects. Such support will include participation in/ administration of CC Africa mailing list, active offering of advice in relation to porting CC licences. The the extent possible, f2f meetings and workshops.<br />
<br />
'''What are other jurisdictions doing that might support or contribute to the project?'''<br />
<br />
Some countries, such as the Australian CC project's site, have more advanced website offerings from which we can learn. CC Brazil appears to have succeeded in building strong cultural relevance that we would like to a emulate.<br />
<br />
'''Would you be interested in mentoring new jurisdiction teams?'''<br />
Yes, see above.<br />
<br />
'''Conversely, would you be interested in having a mentor from a more experienced jurisdiction team?'''<br />
Yes, see above.<br />
<br />
==Regional==<br />
'''Suggest three possible projects on which you can collaborate with other teams on a regional level. If you are not yet involved with the regional network, please contact the regional spokesperson (if any) or notify CC HQ to put you in touch with others.'''<br />
<br />
Adoption of CC licences in other African (exchanging experiences etc and guidelines of how to approach this issue).<br />
<br />
Since there are no other teams yet in our region (Southern Africa), no opportunity for collaboration exists. However, we will look at collaboration opportunities with country project in other African countries, such as Egypt, Kenya and Nigeria, as they arise.<br />
<br />
'''How do you plan to contribute to these projects?'''<br />
Sharing of information and on an ad hoc basis.<br />
<br />
==Translation==<br />
'''In what language(s) will you promote CC in the jurisdiction and why?'''<br />
At this point in time, it is only feasible to promote CC licences in English. Yet, we aim at translating the Commons Deed into several of our official language if volunteers for this can be found. At least 2 such translations of the Commons Deed already exist.<br />
<br />
'''In which of these languages are licenses already available? CC0?'''<br />
English. <br />
We haven't dealt with the CC0 "licence" yet.<br />
<br />
'''Into which of the remaining languages do you intend to translate the licenses? CC0?'''<br />
see above.<br />
<br />
'''How will you involve the local language(s) community?'''<br />
Once we have updated our licences to v3.0, we will get in touch with non-profit translation organisations such as www.translate.org.za and ask for their support on this matter. In addition, we will on our website encourage volunteers to help out.<br />
