If this is what happened, the system should tell people that they've been banned.</p> <p>If you just flag an account and delete all posts without an explanation, including posts that don't even have links, and go so far as to ban new accounts associated with the same E-mail address, you're going to frustrate authors who are trying to give things to CC. This apparently happened to me. I had to create a new E-mail address simply to post here.</p> <p>It's possible that other authors have tried to donate books and been turned away without an explanation. Most of them won't have continued to make the attempt. This doesn't seem like the best way to handle things.</p> <p>If people are interested in the 28 books mentioned before, I'm still willing to put them under a CC license. It's about 18 years work, a couple of thousand pages, with illustrations. The genre is gamebook. The online version is a work in progress, there's still missing tables and parts that are for the printed version, but comments are welcome.</p> <p>The problem is how do I announce the books if providing links is going to get the account banned? </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/236#post-552 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 20:47:23 +0000 anothertry 552@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>I've been trying to announce the release of 28 original books plus illustrations under CC for several days. However, nothing that I've posted here has shown up. I thought it might be because the first post contained links to the books. In other words a spam filter problem. However, my other posts contained no links and they haven't shown up either. Other people are posting and their posts are showing up. So what's wrong? How do I announce new CC books, or does CC not wish authors to donate new material? </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/190#post-551 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 05:43:12 +0000 mmray31 551@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>but before doing so such thing, check everything first for legality purpose.<br /> just to avoid problems, right?</p> <p><a href="http://www.best-debt-consolidation.co.uk/">IVA Help</a> </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/190#post-550 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:16:51 +0000 alexisjameson 550@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>I've read it's actually more free to use as well.

I'm required by my college class to make a book at blurb.com. I'm doing it on art deco themes and want to include explanatory photos. There is a lovely huge group on Flikr that comes up with a creative commons search for commercially available photos. They all have a CC logo but also say All Rights Reserved. I don't remember where but something also said something about correct attribution? </p> <p>A: How do I attribute, in what manner?</p> <p>B: Where in the book do you attribute?</p> <p>C: Who do I attribute?

In the past, I have used creative commons photos and music to supplement my storytelling.</p> <p> One site I use for music is Jamendo. This year they began Jamendo Pro which you purchase a license for particular song you want to use for your video. </p> <p>This confuses me. The cost they ask for is miniscule but if the song is already released under the creative commons(attribute-share-alike-and noncommercial) license then why would I need to purchase an additional license from Jamendo? <a href="http://pro.jamendo.com" rel="nofollow">http://pro.jamendo.com</a></p> <p>Just to clarify the details of the video: It is for an organization. I am a professional and the videos are release under creative commons (share-alike, attribute, non-commercial, non-derivs).</p> <p>Thanks for your thoughts </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/212#post-533 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 00:14:37 +0000 bdwrek 533@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>No-one, ideas, anyone? </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/191#post-532 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:56:52 +0000 Clifford.Cad 532@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>I don't think it is allowed to distribute PDF or scanned books without permission of Author.</p> <p><a href="http://www.governmentsurplusauctionsonline.com/government_surplus_auctions/" rel="nofollow">http://www.governmentsurplusauctionsonline.com/government_surplus_auctions/</a> </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/145#post-531 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 18:33:46 +0000 henrywilliamson 531@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>I have always thought using the Google translator could work well.<br /> It even has a pluggin that will sit right below your mozilla firefox browser!</p> <p>Hope this helps.</p> <p>Henry<br /> <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?Colon-Cleansing-Formula---Flush-Out-That-Extra-25lbs-of-Poop-That-is-Slowing-You-Down-Every-Day-Now&amp;id=2892798">colon cleansing formula</a> </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/225#post-530 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 07:53:48 +0000 sheilan 530@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>Hi pgorham11,</p> <p>Do you include art from non US residents?

The business is an online Digital Label for Techno-Drum and bass artists mainly. We want to sign artists who are not yet so well known but however have exceptional tunes.<br /> To sell the tracks we want to distribute them to a max of 2 major online digital stores such as juno and Itunes and we also want to sell the tracks through our own label website.<br /> We have contacted APRA (Australasias performance copyright association), and they sent us an agreement that we apparently sign which contains many many things that we CANNOT do with our artists music. The artists themselves lets us do more with their work than APRA lets us do with our artists own work!<br /> My question is: If i make a written agreement stating the rights of the artists and the label and in what way we can use their work and they agree in order to be under our label, do we really by law, need to sign up to these big collection societies?<br /> What can we do to avoid this?</p> <p>I was thinking in my contract I can present the idea of "creative commons" to the artists so we can have more freedom of their work and avoid these absurd things the collective society are asking us to do.<br /> All help is very greatly appreciated :)<br /> Thanks!</p> <p>Sofia Devetak </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/172#post-518 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 02:43:15 +0000 hudlas 518@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>Yes it is certainly ok to add a disclaimer as it gives you peace of mind in case you get some unscrupulous people..

Which license would be best for this?</p> <p>Also, do we need to do a separate license for each author or can we simply license the publication? </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/191#post-516 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 13:03:37 +0000 tonymatell 516@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>I think if you do that most big authors wouldn't like somebody scanning their work.
