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
