1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,800 How Creative Commons licenses can interact with commerce. 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:11,800 Creative Commons licenses give offers and creators a simple way to mark their creative work in the freedoms they intended to carry. 3 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:16,800 Many people have asked us how CC licenses might interact with other arrangements a creator might want to make, 4 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,000 for example a deal with a commercial publisher or a commercial distributor. 5 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,800 Would a CC license conflict with these other deals? Are they inconsistent? 6 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,800 The short answer is no, as long as the other deals 7 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,000 is not exclusive the CC license cannot conflict with another agreement. 8 00:00:33,500 --> 00:00:36,000 This short video will explain why. 9 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,000 CC licenses are copyright licenses. They license to others the right to 10 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,000 use in specified ways some piece of copyrighted work, 11 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,800 but to see how they function let's begin with just the copyright. 12 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,000 What does a copyright mean? How does it work? 13 00:00:54,500 --> 00:00:57,800 A copyright gives the author a bunch of exclusive rights. 14 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,000 So, if you want to copy or distribute a piece of creative work 15 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,400 that someone else owns the copyright to, you need permission 16 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,000 from the copyright owner. 17 00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:09,400 Likewise, if you want to publicly perform a copyrighted work, 18 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,000 you need permission from the copyright owner, 19 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,000 or, if you want to display a copyrighted work, 20 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,100 or, make a derivative work based upon a copyrighted work, 21 00:01:18,300 --> 00:01:21,600 or, digitally publically perform a copyrighted work, 22 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,400 like, say in a podcast, you need permission from the copyright owner. 23 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,200 All of these rights are reserved to the copyright owner by default, 24 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,700 thus the infamous "all rights reserved" slogan. 25 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,400 Now let's add another icon that strictly speaking is not 26 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,800 an exclusive right of copyright, but which will be useful 27 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,200 when we compare the default of copyright to a CC license. 28 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,400 This is the right to make commercial use of a copyrighted work. 29 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,500 So, again, here are all the rules. 30 00:01:47,700 --> 00:01:49,800 You can't do any of these things with the copyrighted work, 31 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,900 especially for a commercial purpose without permission 32 00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:54,400 from the copyright owner, unless your particular use 33 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,600 is deemed to be of "fair use". 34 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,200 So picture copyright as a broken record. 35 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,500 Don't do this, or this, or this, or this, or this, or this, 36 00:02:02,700 --> 00:02:05,500 unless you get permission first, or unless your lawyer 37 00:02:05,700 --> 00:02:08,200 can convince a judge your use would be of "fair use". 38 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,200 Ok, so now that you have a basic idea about copyright, 39 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,000 let's return to the question at hand: 40 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,900 How does the CC license interact with other deals? 41 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,900 Let's ask that question first about copyright itself. 42 00:02:19,100 --> 00:02:21,800 How does copyright interact with other deals? 43 00:02:22,000 --> 00:09:56,000 (please extend this)
