Onderwerp: [Communia] Happy Public Domain Day 2010!

January 1st is Public Domain Day 2010

While New Year's Day is an occasion for great celebrations worldwide, we
shouldn't forget another special reason to celebrate January 1st: Public
Domain Day! In several countries, this day marks the expiration of copyright
protection terms on creative works produced by authors who died several
decades earlier (1939, for this 01/01/2010). Therefore in certain
jurisdictions such works enter the Public Domain, and their content is no
longer owned or controlled by anyone but it rather becomes available for
anyone to freely use for any purpose. In other words, on each year's January
1st an impressive wealth of knowledge, information and beauty becomes freely
available to humankind.

To celebrate this occasion, COMMUNIA is promoting a new website devoted to
Public Domain Day: http://www.publicdomainday.org. This project aims at
increasing the public awareness of this celebration and educating about the
Public Domain concept and its potentialities for spreading culture and
knowledge worldwide. The website is particularly focused on this Public
Domain Day 2010, providing useful resources and a detailed list of authors
and artists entering the Public Domain in several countries.
Happy Public Domain Day 2010!

http://www.techcrunch.com/2010/01/20/youtube-disco-music-discovery-project/

There are so many music search engines out there based on YouTube  
music videos (Songza comes to mind) that it was only a matter of time  
until YouTube created its own music playlist maker. The YouTube Music  
Discovery Project just launched quietly out of TestTube (YouTube?s  
labs). The page is a search box on top of which says,  
?Find>Mix>Watch,? and once you enter a name, you hit the ?Disco?  
button to find music.

You can enter any music group or artist, and a playlist pops up, along  
with a thumbnail video and a description of the band. You can find  
related artists, create a mixtape, and save playlists. As you are  
listening to music and watching videos, it is easy to add and delete  
songs.

YouTube is taking advantage of a lot of the officially-sanctioned Vevo  
music videos in the Music Discovery Project. Playlists are saved to  
your regular YouTube playlists page, from where you can share them via  
email. For instance, here is a playlist I crated called ?Too Cool For  
School.? Oddly, there doesn?t seem to be any to purchase the music  
other than the occasional iTunes ad within the videos themselves. But  
this is an experimental product.

For Immediate Release  - -  January 25, 2010

THE PUBLIC DOMAIN MANIFESTO LAUNCHES TODAY
http://www.publicdomainmanifesto.org

The Public Domain as a whole is the wealth of
information that is free from the barriers to
access or reuse usually associated with copyright
protection, either because it is free from any
copyright protection or because the right holders
have decided to remove these barriers. The Public
Domain ensures that the principles of Article 27
of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
('Everyone has the right freely to participate in
the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the
arts and to share in scientific advancement and
its benefits.') can be fully enjoyed by everyone
across the world. In order to increase public
awareness about such concepts and potentialities
for spreading knowledge and culture, today
COMMUNIA, the European Thematic Network on the
Digital Public Domain, announces the launch of
the Public Domain Manifesto
(http://www.publicdomainmanifesto.org).

The document outlines a series of general
principles (opening with: the Public Domain is
the rule, copyright protection is the exception)
along with various issues relevant to today's
Public Domain, and provides some recommendations
aimed at protecting the Public Domain and
ensuring that it can continue to function in a
meaningful way-with particular relevance to
education, cultural heritage and scientific
research.

The Public Domain Manifesto reinforces the recent
Public Domain Day (1. January 2010) initiatives
and is already available in several languages
with more translations underway, also featuring
dozens of initial signers-both individuals and
organizations worldwide. Everyone is encouraged
to sign it, to follow our Facebook page and? to
spread the word!

-------------------

About the Public Domain
In the strict copyright law realm, "Public
Domain" refers to those works which are no longer
or have never been protected by copyright. But in
today's digital networked Information Society,
the definition of Public Domain essentially
covers any cultural material that can be used
without restriction, absent copyright protection
- broadening its range to include close relations
with open access, open licensing, fair use, and
orphan works.

About COMMUNIA
The COMMUNIA Thematic Network focuses on
theoretical analysis and strategic policy
discussion of existing and emerging issues
concerning the public domain in the digital
environment. Its activities cover several related
topics, including, but not limited to,
alternative forms of licensing for creative
material; open access to scientific publications
and research results; management of works whose
authors are unknown (i.e. "orphan works"). Funded
by the European Commission within the
eContentplus framework, the 2007-2010 project
expects to provide policy guidelines that will
help each stakeholder involved - public and
private, from the local to the European and
global level. The network includes 51 members and
is coordinated by Politecnico of Torino's NEXA
Research Center for Internet and Society.

Hi all,

Finally the full video report of the Video Vortex 5 conference in  
Brussels can be found online. We listed everything on:

http://www.cimatics.com/cms_site/news/archive/article.php?id=154

Once again, thanks to all of you for being there. We are now  
officially and fully recovered from the latest festival edition and  
heading for the next Cimatics festival in 2011. Since the first  
edition in 2003 our focus  shifted from VJing to live coding over A/V  
performance towards a more general festival for digital culture, but  
always with a 'this is not a media-art festival' mentality. For us, it  
was an honour to be able to host the VV conference, especially for  
it's critical but not so institutional/academic approach. The next  
edition of Cimatics festival will be set up around aspects of  
participatory culture, and will not be restricted to the geographical  
limitations of Brussels. We aim at an unusual event with a global  
urban scope. We invite everyone to contact us with any proposals for  
collaboration.

All the best,

Bram

Dear colleagues,

After several meetings with representatives at YouTube, I am in a
position to open up a discussion with them about the possibility of
them releasing additional data about their videos and users to
researchers. Before I begin this discussion, I would like to know the
types of data that you might need or want.  We have all been involved
in some project when we thought "I wish I knew ..." and then realized
that it would take a complicated screen-scrape or intensive sampling
to find a less than perfect solution while YouTube/Google holds the
data we need if they would just give it to us.   I want to make sure I
address everybody's needs when I discuss this with them, so please let
me know of any data that would be of interest to you and your
research.  I can't promise anything, but I would like to give this a
shot.

Thanks,

Mike Wesch

Dear Mr. Wesch,

     my first question is: Before asking for information, is it at all
appropriate for Google to release information, among others about their
users, in particular to 3rd parties? Just because we would "like to
have" this data, doesn't mean that we should collect it or for that
matter, google release them.

best regards

I agree that it would not be appropriate to gather personal
information, and the line between personal and public needs to be a
central part of the discussion.  Some way of easily aggregating the
public data could be useful (something as simple as being able to see
a breakdown of self-reported ages, countries, video style, interests,
etc.).  Others have also suggested a comment search (which they
already have in the testtube area) that could give keyword
frequencies.

As a qualitative researcher, this data is not especially important to
my work, but I frequently receive questions from other researchers
about the possibility of getting data from YouTube.  Before I start
the discussion with them I just want to make sure I request all the
data people need.
