Creative Licensing to Expand Australia’s Public Domain - A Symposium
jointly hosted by
Baker & McKenzie
Cyberspace Law and Policy Centre
and AESharenet Pty
Ltd
Tuesday 11 May 2004, 5:45 for 6:00 - 7:45
pm
The Symposium
The Baker & McKenzie
Cyberspace Law and Policy Centre at UNSW Law Faculty and AEShareNet (a
non-profit company supporting a national collaborative system
to manage intellectual property in members' educational materials
using a system of standard and customisable licence protocols)
hosted this symposium to look at creative
opportunities to extend the public domain in content.
There were presentations from key participants in these developments,
and time for discussion and questions. The symposium format is
an opportunity to participants to share insights into these interesting
new developments in Australian intellectual property law, and
offered a forum for free-ranging discussion.
Specifically, we :
- considered the role of Crown copyright,
especially in legal materials, and the emerging opportunity
to have the
material contributed to the public domain.
- launched the new 'Free
for Education' licence from AESN, which gives
creators and users of educational content a range of options
including free and non-free usage.
- introduced the new 'Creative Commons' Australian
licence, based on the US model, and compare
it to the FfE.
(NB: Some of the issues raised will also be covered
in more depth by our 'Unlocking
IP'
conference in November 2004.)
