    CC licenses, Off-web works,  [embedded] metadata 2006-10-08 CC licenses, Off-web works, [embedded] metadata 2006-10-08 Presentation Transcript

        • CC licenses,
        • Off-web works,
        • [embedded] metadata
    • Sharing media...
      • Download from a web site
      • Provenance is a problem
      • Download from a “geocities” web site
      • Provenance is a serious problem
    • Sharing media...
      • Email attachment
      • P2P File share
      • Beam from wireless device
      • CD/DVD RW
      • IM file transfer
      • Memory stick
      • Hard drive
      • ...
      • Provenance, what provenance?
    • Let's make things as good as they are on the web
      • Web sites can be taken down
      • The more egregious and higher profile a violation, the more likely the web site will be taken down
      • Some sites are more trustworthy than others
    • Let's say Anita wants to license her song, &quot;Volcano Love,&quot; with a Creative Commons license, and release it as an MP3. Here's what she'd do...
    • First, Anita would put a &quot;Some Rights Reserved&quot; button on the site where her song could be downloaded — along with a link to a license, some metadata, and an assertion about the copyright status of the work. Nothing new here: this is what Creative Commons licensors do now.
    •  
    • With file embedding, though, this page will now serve the added function of verification. Here's how: Anita would insert the URL to that web page in the copyright field of the MP3 file, along with a short, plain description of the work's license status. We call this the license verification link because it points back to a page that Anita herself controls.
    •  
    • Next, imagine Anita puts the MP3 on a file-sharing network. A user comes across her MP3 and can follow the verification link to Anita's page. In the future, we hope that file-sharing networks, media players, and other applications will build tools that read the verification link automatically and inform users of the copyright assertions like Anita's.
    •  
    • Embedding this kind of &quot;verification link&quot; in MP3s, as opposed to merely the license metadata, is a measure of protection for artists against the incorrect or fraudulent labeling and sharing of their work. Take this example: Honeysuckle is a popular commercial singer. She likes her songs &quot;all rights reserved.&quot;
    • John decides to license a Honeysuckle song under a Creative Commons license, to fool people into thinking she's gone &quot;some rights reserved.&quot; He makes a fake Honeysuckle site on to his website, adds a Creative Commons license and metadata to it, and embeds a phony &quot;verification link&quot; to his page in the Honeysuckle MP3. Then he puts the song on a file-sharing network.
    •  
    • Honeysuckle visits the file-sharing network and sees copies of her song circulating. She finds this suspicious, given that she didn't put the song on the network and always claims &quot;all rights reserved.
    •  
    • She follows the verfication link, finds John, and forces him to take the fake page down.
    •  
    • With the phony verification page gone, users of the file-sharing network will see that the verification link is broken, or they will follow it to a page explaining that John fraudulently tried to license the song.
    •  
    • An added benefit of the verification link is that licensors, or the companies who do their hosting, can use them to draw traffic to their websites.
    • Ravi is an amateur photographer. He hosts his photos at SNAP, a website devoted to photography. Each time Ravi uploads his photos to the SNAP website, the SNAP software offers Ravi an opportunity to use Creative Commons licenses, and the tools to embed his webpage on SNAP with the appropriate RDF. Next, SNAP's software automatically inserts the verification link into his photo files' copyright fields.
    •  
    • Ravi circulates the photos among his schoolmates, whose photo-viewing software reads the copyright fields and takes them to the SNAP website, where they can see Ravi's whole catalog of photography and links to other SNAP services.

    • Let's make things as good as they are on the web
      • Web sites can be taken down
      • The more egregious and higher profile a violation, the more likely the web site will be taken down
      • Some sites are more trustworthy than others
    • Some sites are more trustworthy than others
      • Sites with known curation and takedown policies are more likely to host accurate license metadata. Examples in the CC music space:
      • Jamendo
      • Magnatune
      • archive.org
      • ccMixter
    • CC content discovery methods
      • Feeds and data dumps from trusted sites
      • Embedded metadata – 1) with verification link and 2) at a trusted site
    • CC content feeds
      • http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Syndication – specifications for license metadata accompanying feeds
      • http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Content_curators – selection of curators of CC licensed content, many with feeds
    • CC embedded metadata
      • http://wiki.creativecommons.org/MP3 – specification for license metadata embedded in MP3 files with verification link
      • http://wiki.creativecommons.org/XMP – specification for license metadata embedded with XMP, an embedded metadata format supporting PDF, JPEG, and many other formats.
