At EFF, we’re big fans of the Creative Commons project, which makes copyright work in empowering ways for people who want to share their work widely. EFF uses Creative Commons licenses on nearly all of our public communications. To highlight the importance of open licensing as a tool for building a shared culture, we are upgrading the license on our website to the latest version, Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International.

Open licenses like Creative Commons are an important tool for sharing culture and learning. They allow artists and creators a simple way to encourage widespread, free distribution of their work while keeping just the rights they want for themselves—such as the right to be credited as the work’s author, the right to modify the work, or the right to control commercial uses.

Without tools like Creative Commons, copyright is frequently a roadblock to sharing and preserving culture. Copyright is ubiquitous, applying automatically to most kinds of creative work from the moment they are “fixed in a tangible medium.” Copyright carries draconian penalties unknown in most areas of U.S. law, like “statutory damages” with no proof of harm and the possibility of having to pay the rightsholder’s attorney fees. And it can be hard to learn who owns a copyright in any given work, given that copyrights can last a century or more. All of these make it risky and expensive to share and re-use creative works, or sometimes even to preserve them and make them accessible to future generations.

Open licensing helps culture and learning flourish. With many millions of works now available under Creative Commons licenses, creators and knowledge-seekers have reassurance that these works of culture and learning can be freely shared and built upon without risk.

The current suite of Creative Commons licenses has thoughtful, powerful features. It’s written to work effectively in many countries, using language that can be understood in the context of different copyright laws around the world. It addresses legal regimes other than copyright that can interfere with free re-use of creative materials, like database rights, anti-circumvention laws, and rights of publicity or personality.

And importantly, the 4.0 licenses also make clear that giving credit to the author (something all of the Creative Commons licenses require) can be done in various ways, and that technical failures don't expose users to lawsuits by copyright trolls.

At EFF, we want our work to be seen and shared widely. That’s why we’ve made our content available under Creative Commons licenses for many years. Today, in that spirit, we are updating the license for most materials on our website, www.eff.org, to Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International.

　ノーベル平和賞を受賞した日本被団協結成のきっかけになったとされるビキニ環礁でアメリカが水爆実験をしてマグロ漁船の第五福竜丸が被爆してから７０年。昨年１０月から１月１９日まで第五福竜丸展示館では画家の山内若菜さんの企画展「ふたつの太陽」が開かれた。船の左舷に核廃絶を願う大きな光を表した全長１５メートルを超える巨大な作品が掲げられていて、注目を浴びている。絵のテーマは「いのちの賛歌」悲劇と再生が描かれている。 ..
