Is it possible to use fotos with a cc-by-sa license together with fotos issued under a cc-by-nc-sa license in the same derivative work, i.e. the videoclip?<br /> cheers, Jo </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/181#post-369 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 00:37:29 +0000 levro 369@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>Hello,<br /> thanks for your reply, Osorio.<br /> I am sorry that I have perhaps not expressed myself clearly. All photos that I use in the book are allowed for commercial purposes but some of them (20-30) also have a share-alike (SA) license. I am unsure if this makes my book a share-alike product as well? I presume that my publisher does not want that. The SA license says: "If you alter, transform, or build upon this work, you may distribute ***the resulting work*** only under the same, similar or a compatible license." The big question is: what falls under the term ***resulting work***: the specific photo I have used (and perhaps changed) or the entire book although the photos are only a very small part of it?</p> <p>Kind regards &#38; I would be grateful for further advice, Steffen </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/181#post-366 Fri, 17 Jul 2009 08:36:44 +0000 osorio 366@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>How many noncommercial/share-alike CC pictures are there in your work? If you've put the time and effort into placing credits for each of these and you needed then as relevant material for your publication then it may be worth contacting the photographic artists and get first hand permissions just to cover your base. In doing so this may protect your work from lawsuit's not that I think that may happen, It's just a good precaution to take. </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/181#post-350 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 17:20:05 +0000 levro 350@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I am about to publish a scientific book (psychology) via a regular publisher which uses many creative commons pictures that allow usage for commercial purposes. Many of those pictures have a “noncommerical/share-alike” license and I am a bit unclear what this means for my book. At the end of my book every single artist is certainly credited with his/her name and the title of the picture. I also make clear that many of the pictures are used under a “share alike” license. However, what does this mean for me? Can for example reader request that I hand them the original photos or copy pages? Does this license make the entire book a share-alike product (my publisher might have objections against this). I am sorry if these questions sound stupid. I have really tried hard to answer them myself but I am not a legal expert and want to be on the safe side.</p> <p>Kind regards, Levro </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/155#post-303 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 00:01:29 +0000 mlinksva 303@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>Hi rahul66,</p> <p>First, I'm not a lawyer and am not/can't give you legal advice.</p> <p>If your film constitutes a derivative/adaptation of the audio track, the film would need to be CC BY-SA. 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>
