What Is This Site?
This site is the wiki for a project to explain Creative Commons (CC) licenses & their effects on artists.
The objective of this project is to give balanced advice to artists on the advantages, disadvantages, risks and rewards that their use of Creative Commons licenses may involve. This advice should ultimately cover different licenses (CC-BY-SA, CC-Sampling+, CC-NC-ND), media (painting, music, plays, novels), genres (documentary, satire, fiction), contexts (live performance, magazine reproduction, internet distribution) and jurisdictions (Australia, Japan, America, Germany, The USA, England & Wales, Scotland…).
Project Plan.
Decide how to organize the site and create pages.
Find questions and answers from e.g. the cc-licenses list and add them to the site.
Gather FAQs for answering.
Get funding and pay for expert advice (with the proviso that this cannot be presented as legal advice, see below).
