Note that CC licenses explicitly say that </p> <blockquote><p>For the avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a musical work, performance or phonogram, the synchronization of the Work in timed-relation with a moving image ("synching") will be considered an Adaptation for the purpose of this License.</p></blockquote> <p>See 1a in <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/legalcode" rel="nofollow">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/legalcode</a></p> <p>It is conceivable that your use could be fair use, in which case you might not need permission at all (which is what the license gives you, under certain conditions), so you wouldn't need to abide by the license. But fair use is only a defense, has been narrowed considerably in recent decades, and film festivals might not consider your film to be cleared...</p> <p>You can always also seek permission directly from the copyright holder of the audio you want to use. </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/155#post-302 Fri, 03 Apr 2009 23:05:08 +0000 rahul66 302@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>I want to use a CC 'by-sa' licensed track for my film. Am I obliged to release my film under a CC license as well? I'm planning to send my film to various film festivals, and I can't afford to freely share it under a CC license, atleast for 1 year. </p> <p>I will be only using a part of the track(the first 30seconds or so). Going by the terms of share-alike, does using a bit/portion of a soundtrack constitute "alter, transform, or build upon" of the work?</p> <p>And what if I want to use a part from the middle of the track? </p> <p>Please note that I'm not modifying the track in any other way. </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/86#post-196 Mon, 27 Oct 2008 19:48:15 +0000 Kaeserina 196@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>Can I licence a film A under CC (BY-NC-NDD) if it contains a picture B to which I do not have the rights? </p> <p>I use the picture B as a quote- stating clearly, where I took it from and who has the rights to it.</p> <p>Picture B is not CC though.</p> <p>Can I still attribute a CC to the whole film A? Or do I have to excempt picture B?</p> <p>I know no one can give legal advice here, but some first advice would be great..... </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>
