We want to protect our name, website, and any text and images on the website. Would a license 'protect' the content on the site as part of our collective name? We do not have a trade-marked name and are not interested in having one.</p> <p>Also - Do cc copyright license's protect the content on an entire domain or just the work on the specific page where we post the license? </p> <p>um regardless -<br /> you guys r awesome! </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/30#post-68 Fri, 13 Jun 2008 16:05:01 +0000 question 68@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>got this info to me via mail.</p> <p>'medium' refers to the pysical way you're using the work (eg radio, website, CD etc), so the 'reasonable to the medium' provision is supposed to let you vary how you attribute for different distribution methods. So, for example, on net radio you might mention the artists name, and then have a list on a website. Or your example for the nightclub seems appropriate.</p> <p>But attribution in some form remains compulsory - if there is a service that says you can't attribute, then you can't use the work under the CC licence. You'll be in breach of the CC licence.</p> <p>As far as getting more detailed with the attribution requirements - it would be hard to deal with individual case examples like how you should do it in a film etc. It's just too much detail for a licence. But CC has a marking project that sets out best practice guidelines about how you should attribute in different mediums (<a href="http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Marking)" rel="nofollow">http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Marking)</a>. Does that help? </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/30#post-64 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 21:03:36 +0000 jam 64@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>From CC.au license<br /> -attribute the original author in any work, derivative work or collection that you distribute. The attribution may be provided in any reasonable manner, but as far as is reasonable to the medium...</p> <p>thought:<br /> attribution in the credits of a film might have been created to make sure the artists could be compensated for their work through a guild, possibly? what percentage of an audience reads the credits of a film? What about the time and placement of the creativity within the film? Most films have a q-sheet (that is separate to the film) that lets the rights authority know what was played when and by who- so royalties can be distributed. Would this q-sheet need to be part of the attribution as the most minimum form of reasonable attribution?</p> <p>my point is that a lot of mediums have no form of reasonable attribution. Maybe a link from the license could list different ways to attribute, a set of standards for each medium to make sure creators are attributed fairly. </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/29#post-62 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 20:56:55 +0000 mlinksva 62@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>I'll guess from the above that you want an open source license that requires attribution.</p> <p>Maybe you're looking for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Public_Attribution_License" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Public_Attribution_License</a> </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/29#post-61 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 18:57:34 +0000 The User 61@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>Hi,<br /> I am searching for an Open Souce-License like this:<br /> <strong>(C) (!)
