The power of CC

Creative Commons (CC) is growing in use and awareness, and is helping change attitudes to digital content and its possibilities. The Eduserv Foundation has recently announced support for CC in the form of a donation, recognising the opportunities these licences present for education.

"CC has liberated us from thinking first and foremost about protecting and restricting content and has given us the ability to focus on sharing, which is fundamental to both learning and research"

Michael Geist and Andres Guadamuz report on a recent legal case involving a photographer alleging breach of his licence terms. The strength of CC will be enhanced as more cases appear, provided the licences are recognised and upheld by the courts!
