- warning needed, or some way to let people know what rights they need to make this dedication.
Needed clarifications
Not active till published with disclaimer
Concerns
Is this a copyright waiver = No Rights Reserved or something broader that waives other rights like:
- Patents
- Trademarks
- Unfair competition
- Privacy rights
- Publicity rights
- Commercial rights
- Database Rights
signature notes
- Do we need signatures?
- Can a serious of emails qualify as a signature?
Deed
- the deed needs to be more specific listing rights waived beyond copyright. (Several sources)
jurisdiction specific
- Chile = copyright act - art. 86 ...all the patrimonial rights as unrenunciable by authors
- Spain = similar issues in Spain as Chile: PD = waived rights and some rights can not be waived.
- UK may require a signature for waiving moral right (Cite needed)
>> 87 (2)" Any of those rights may be waived by instrument in writing signed by the person giving up the right."
>> 87(4) of course gives us some wiggle room but I'm not sure how well it would work out with regards to moral rights.
- German Moral rights unalienable (Cite needed)
- Australia - You can consent to specific instances of infringement of your moral rights, but you cannot waiver them. s195AW(1) of the Copyright Act 1968 states that it is not an infringement of moral rights if the infringement is within the scope of written consent given by the author.
