[pd-discuss] CC-zero for vimeo, soundcloud & co

Fri Jun 14 11:26:30 UTC 2013

CC Zero makes sense, but I have real reservations about ever using CC PD on a sound recording.  Remember that "CC does not recommend the current version of PDM for works with are in public domain in some jurisdictions but known to be restricted by copyright in others"  (http://wiki.creativecommons.org/PDM_FAQ#Why_might_a_free_of_copyright_restrictions_in_one_jurisdiction_not_be_free_of_copyright_restrictions_everywhere.3F).  Almost all sound recordings are protected in the US until 2067 and hence the use of a CC PD mark on a sound recording would be inappropriate.

Dear all,

Very interesting thread! Especially because I've previously been in contact with SoundCloud about them not only supporting CC-0, but preferably also a PD Mark (http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/mark/1.0/).

The reason for this is that the institution I work for (the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision) has a very interesting PD music recording collection it would like to distribute through SoundCloud, but *only* if it is accompanied with a suitable rights statement.

I would very much like to investigate how we could work together to maybe 'pressure' them a bit more. My previous individual attempts aimed directly at our contact at SoundCloud have not been very fruitful yet.

Best,

Maarten

Hey list,

As my personal little contribution to the public domain, I have
contacted today the customer support of SoundCloud, urging them to add
support for the CC-Zero license, since they have already the 6 generic
Creative Commons licenses available.

I also posted a similar request on the Vimeo discussion board:
https://vimeo.com/forums/help/topic:105366

If others on this list are using Vimeo, you may want to chime in and
add your voice to the thread.

If successful, other content-sharing platforms may be more easily
inclined to follow.

Cheers,
Manuel
