Week11.1（5.13Mon）FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS(YANGPEIFU)

1. Summary

  Creative Commons (CC) provides free legal tools to facilitate the sharing and reuse of creativity and knowledge. Their licenses offer standardized terms for creators to license their works, encouraging reuse while retaining certain rights. CC also offers additional tools like CC0 and the Public Domain Mark. These resources are designed for global use and work seamlessly with the web.CC licenses are not anti-copyright; they are copyright licenses that specify usage rights while allowing creators to retain certain rights. They operate on material where copyright exists and do not affect exceptions and limitations to copyright. CC licenses are non-exclusive and do not cover other rights like trademark or patent rights. There are six core licenses, each with specific conditions like attribution, non-commercial use, no derivatives, and share-alike. Licensors can choose the appropriate license based on their preferences and intended use. The latest version, 4.0, is recommended for global enforceability, but ported licenses are available for specific jurisdictions.CC licenses grant permissions only for copyright and similar rights, and licensors waive or do not assert any moral, publicity, personality, or privacy rights they hold, to the extent necessary for the exercise of the licensed rights. Compliance with CC licenses is necessary, and licensors cannot insist on the exact placement of attribution. CC licenses are irrevocable, but rights under the license terminate if the licensee fails to follow the license conditions. Proper attribution is required when using CC-licensed material, and users should ensure their intended use complies with the specific license terms. CC licenses do not directly address plagiarism, and licensors have options to make money from works licensed under CC licenses. Overall, CC licenses provide flexibility and legal certainty for creators and users, promoting sharing and reuse while respecting copyright and other rights. 

2. Projet

What are the limits on how CC-licensed works can be used in the development of new technologies, such as training of artificial intelligence software?

Creative Commons (CC) licenses grant permission for reuse of creative works under copyright, addressing the primary obstacle to reuse. They are carefully designed to work with all new technologies involving copyright without needing explicit permission. However, CC licenses do not address other legal issues like privacy laws, ethical research rules, or data protection laws, which must be respected separately from copyright issues. When including CC-licensed images in a published dataset, attribution obligations vary depending on the jurisdiction and context. In some cases, linking to the original image or URI may be sufficient, but compliance with license conditions is necessary if copyright (or sui generis database rights in the EU) is triggered.Regarding NonCommercial (NC) licenses, whether the NC restriction is violated depends on the intended use of the works by the company. If any uses are primarily intended for commercial advantage or monetary compensation, the NC restriction may be violated.For ShareAlike (SA) licenses, the entire database does not have to be licensed under an SA license. The SA condition only applies if a work is modified and shared publicly. The collection or compilation itself does not need to be made available under an SA license.If users dislike how their photos or images have been reused, several remedies may be available. They can request removal of attribution or pursue claims for copyright infringement if license terms have been violated. However, it's essential to understand CC licenses and other relevant laws before sharing content under these licenses.
3. Question
"What types of uses are considered primarily for commercial advantage or monetary compensation when using images licensed under the NonCommercial (NC) restriction?"

W4.1 March 25 (Mon)——LI MENGRU

1.Summary   This article discusses the characteristics of open content communities and provides a detailed description using Wikipedia as an example. The author first uses the term "community" to describe interdependent groups of people who participate in discussions, decision-making, and share some practices that define communities. Then, the author proposes five characteristics of an open content community: open content, transparency, integrity, non discrimination, and non interference. Although some of these features provide clear boundaries, such as copyright licenses for open content and forking ability, other features such as transparency, integrity, and non discriminatory social values do not provide equally clear boundaries. The author emphasizes that exploring these characteristics helps to understand the background and values in community discussions.   The article then provides a detailed introduction to the origins of the free and open source software movement and...

W10.2 May 10 (Fri)—CHENG SHIYI

1.Summary   Remix culture is a culture that allows and encourages the creation of derivative works through the editing of existing material, challenges exclusive copyright restrictions, promotes the idea of remixing, and facilitates the free flow of creativity. In Remix, Lessig describes the shift from a read-only culture to a read/write culture, where the advent of digital technology has redefined the way culture is created and distributed in ways that facilitate the interactive relationship between producers and consumers and democratize the production of ideas and the distribution of content. The history of remix culture dates back to the 19th century, e.g.: according to American media scholar Henry Jenkins, but the balance between creation and consumption shifted with the advancement of analog recording and reproduction technologies.The analog era of the early 20th century, with its specialized creative equipment and cheap consumer devices, led to the strengthening of proprieta...

W1.1 Intro class: intro to class, blog, wiki and other assignments——CHENG SHIYI

1. Summary  I have taken classes from you, the professor, before and have always been interested in Wikipedia, so I chose to take your class this semester regardless. I understand from your introduction to all the courses in the lecture that this semester's Collective Intelligence in Practice course is centered around Wikipedia, which I understand is an encyclopedia that anyone can edit, and that Wikipedia brings together knowledge from around the world. One of the quotes in your course syllabus is that Technocrati's chief technologist says that soon "Wiki-knowledge will be a required job skill." Wikipedia, a non-profit encyclopedic website, is ranked among the top 5 most popular websites in the world, all thanks to a little bit of contribution from volunteers in the world. I see from this that the Collective Intelligence in Practice program understands Collective Intelligence on the Internet through Wikipedia from a sociological perspective. There are many ways to s...
