Creative Commons: reservations about "some rights

Tank
A group of academics, from the US and beyond, are arguing that
the digital age calls for a new approach to copyright. Under the
Creative Commons (CC) banner they have issued a range of
licenses that they claim allow for greater creative
freedom.
On 16th March CC was launched in the UK with the first licenses
to follow within days, but not everyone welcomes the arrival of
the scheme. Many in the music business warn of the risks that
artists could be taking by signing up, with the possibility of
forever forfeiting the ability to exploit their
copyrights.

As a business that often blazes a trail for the other creative
industries, the reception and use of the licence among music
creators and businesses will likely be a key factor in the
success or otherwise of the project.
There are other issues too, with the BBC developing a Creative
Archive using a CC style license for people to access selected
BBC material for non-commercial purposes.
This promises to be one of the most heavily debated issues of
the year, with potentially considerable implications for the
creative industries and public at large. MusicTank asks whether
CC will usher in a new age of mass creativity, or sit on the
sidelines as another good idea that never quite made it?
Speakers:
Paula Le Dieu - Head of International Creative Commons

Damian Tambini - Head of the Programme in Comparative Media Law
and Policy, Oxford University
Emma Pike - Director, General British Music Rights
Neil Leyton - Label Director, Fading Ways Records (Creative
Commons label)
Session to be moderated by Keith Harris (Chair of
MusicTank)
Cost: £20 (£15 trade body members).
