In today's lecture we shall look explicitly at image citation (especially now that we all use flickr) and what creative commons means in terms of copyright.
I had never even heard of Creative Commons Licenses before this class! I agree that it is necessary to continue to review and modify copyright laws as the level of internet use increases. I never knew there were so many different kinds of licensing, it's interesting how there are so many options. I now know to keep a closer eye on the creative commons licensing of the images I'm using.
It was great learning about creative commons today in class. CC is really important when wanting to share/use others info. It's useful to know what each copy right symbol stands for..this way I know If I can use the info I found for an essay, poster, or to even share with other friends. Universities are especially tough on copy right so I'm glad we learned about this!
Here is my flickr image. I only used an attribution license, because I am okay if it is distributed. http://www.flickr.com/photos/67901118@N08/6299144032/in/photostream
There are a lot more rules to copyright than I had thought.. I am glad we had this lesson. It makes it easier to share links and images with other people without having to worry about copyright issues.

I did not know a lot about copyright laws prior to this class. Basically, these laws ensure that your work (papers, novels, plays, art, etc.) cannot be altered or shared by others. It takes 70+ years to have newly published works to be available to the public via the web. A way to get around this is to put a creative common liscence on your work. This way, others can use it.
Fun class. Now that I know about Creative Commons I have a bit of repair work to do on my own blog. I was surprised how easy it was to tag and license our photo on Flickr.
I knew copyright exists before today's lecture, but I never thought copyright is even more complicated that I may have violated a few times. Now I learned that how creative commons allows us to share, but can protect the authors, photographers, etc on the same time.
I never knew there was a such thing as creative commons! I never really thought about copyright and that sort of thing, never thought it was a big deal. Now I realized that's a big mistake, and I should take a look at the type of copyright whatever I am using has. I will definitely start looking at the licenses and making sure I attribute them, because I would want others to do the same with my property.
Very useful CC and licenses.I'm still a little bit shocked after knowing that I never use licenses and CC on my previous pictures,musics,articles.Should and Need!Also, it's great to know how to do the settings in terms of licenses, privacy, permissions.Then I could know how to protect my own and others' works on the internet.
Larry Lessig had a very interesting video. I was not aware that obtaining a scientific article could be so costly. I could somewhat justify the price if the authors themselves were profiting and this allowed them to continue their work. However, its is the publishers who are collecting the money. The science commons initiative by creative commons will allow anyone to have access to information with out a $20 price tag.
Michael Giest's Blog has many, many interesting blog posts about the internet. He talks about copy write, spam legislation, and cyber surveillance (just to name a few). What I really like about his blog was that it is about issues pertinent to Canada and Canadian internet legislation's.
The lecture today on Image Citation and Copyright was very interesting. I will definitely check the copyright rules on an image before I simply "Copy & Paste". Creative Commons are an excellent resource to find images without violating copyright legislations. (but be sure to check the restrictions on the CC!)
Here is a pic I took or me doing my ALES 204 Homework. Its great to know about the copyright laws, and what they mean, I will have to remember to integrate them into my future projects. I really like the CC implications and support what they allow us to do. Also, I appreciate the connection of this lecture topic to the recent changes made by the university in terms of their copyright laws.
Adding pictures to projects was exponentially cheaper and easier after discovering creative commons search engines. Stock photos, although they usually have more variety, tend to be expensive and not as visually pleasing (plus you can't alter them), while images/videos/songs/etc under creative commons are excellent and high quality. I always cringe now when I see a power point done entirely in clip art, as I know they could have easily added a lovely creative commons image for free instead!
This class was highly informative as I have never heard about Creative Commons licenses before. I am glad that I am more aware of proper copyright procedures and I will make sure I use them as a reference.
got to know so much about copy right... with all the information provided by the internet its kind of hard for Copyright to still be in practiced. therefore for individuals who do not wish to share their work by licensing their works they can protect their work and get credit for it.

Today's lecture was really useful for me because over the past week I had been working on my blog and used pictures from Flickr to add to my blog. Today's lecture helped me understand the different categories of copyright that people have placed on their pictures and now I know what those symbols mean and the limitations placed in the pictures. Proper attribution and dissemination is extremely important when using other's work.
I know more about copyrights from today's lecture. I think copyrights are relative to our daily life as problems like illegally music downloaded or pictures shared on web are highly concerned in our society. I have learned different types of creative commons, which can let us share, but also protect authors or creators and their work. Overall, I think copyrights are extremely important for people who do not want others to share their ideas or work without permission.
Great lecture today. I finally feel alot more comfortable dealing with photos professionally. Here is my upload: http://www.flickr.com/photos/67925756@N05/6299250317/lightbox/

Had no idea that creative commons existed! Such a great thing to know about! Here is our CC flickr photo that we took this weekend when we were taking a break from doing our portfolio!
I had not heard of Creative Commons before this class. I was aware there were legal copyright laws but I did not know one can choose the degree to which others can use their information. I will have to be sure to go back to my blog and check the photos I have used.
It was interesting to here about Creative Commons, and the main point i got from classs was that creative commons don't necessarily replace a copyright, but that they are based upon them. However, I was wondering if the new 'Black List Bill' will affect Creative Commons and sites that use these agreements, such as Wiki. The Bill, if passed, will affectively destroy sites like YouTube and Twitter that are based on user-generated content, by making the site's owners legally responsible for the content that is posted. Perhaps this should be brought up in class?
It is interesting to learn how people infringe copyrights on a regular basis without even knowing! This lecture was informative, especially the points about the different types of copyrights available such as attribution, non commercial and no derivative. This will be a great way to organize some of the 18 million photos available online.
Today's class was fun and very important indeed. I knew that copyright existed, but I did not knew that it applied to pictures that one obtains from internet as well. I am guilty of taking pictures and uploading it to my blogs or Facebook without attributing-I honestly did not knew about CC. I also learned the different type of CC symbols and what they embodies. As well, I learned how tag a photo and licence it before i upload it to a blog, Facebook or use it for other purpose. I now feel a lot more comfortable with uploading images legally which will protect me in the long run.
Today's lecture is one of my favourite class in LAES204. Very useful and practical. I know the important of copyright since many professors mentioned on class. But I feel confused how much credit I should give back to original authors, just link the website is enough? especially the pictures. After toddy's lecture, I know I should check the CC licence on pictures and I will be more confident to cite picture for my future poster or powerpoint presentation. In addition, I also learned how to add CC licence on my own work, like picture, to protect my right as well spread my work as I wanted level.
Very interesting class today. I don't even want to think about how often people violate copywrite laws. It's crazy! Here is my photo with a creative commons licence. http://www.flickr.com/photos/67834641@N02/6300342181/?edited=1
I didnt know anything about copy right laws for photos and such till today. Creative commons was a really useful thing to learn and I will definitely keep it in mind when creating my e-portfolio. Also i didnt know that i could put my own creative commons on my pictures and i may just have to do that from now on.
Just wanted to make a comment on the general use of creative commons licensing. Citing images and other information that you find on the internet shows your proficiency for the newer forms of media and how to show professionalism with them. Which is awesome considering that not all that many people know that using images online without citing them is wrong. I think this was a great lecture to bring this to our attention and give us a chance to use it in a realistic setting.
I learned a lot in the creative commons lecture today... I had no idea the laws about copyright on the internet were so strict. I do feel as if there are a lot of loopholes concerning these laws though... to me it doesn't seem like its very well regulated, as I have never heard of any legal action taken or other instances concerning photographs or text on the internet. I will definitely have to take more care what I send and share with others, and how I use the information that I find online from now on! Like Jess said today, if someone is googling their name to see who is using their information, there could be a big legal mess if someone finds their work is being used inappropriately!
I knew that copyright laws existed for papers, journals, articles, books amongst other print and electronic sources but I was not aware of the ones for images or pictures on the internet. I use many images in my projects and I usually just get them directly off the internet, and I never thought that they could possibly be under copyright rules. I am glad that we had this lesson today. I learned a lot about copyright laws and this makes it easier for me to share images or links with other people without having to worry about copyright issues.
Creative Commons is a new concept to me. Great idea and easy for any layperson to use.
Although copyright law can be a dry subject to study, it's important to understand the overlying message. Recognize the author of a work you are using, remixing, etc. and pay attention to any other restrictions imposed by that work's copyright.
I was not aware of the restrictions placed on images on the internet before learning about Creative Commons. It makes sense considering all the other types media with copyright laws. Interesting to learn that I can apply this to my own images! I will be much more careful in future to acknowledge the 'CC license' when searching for images for my own use.
I never knew there were creative commons licensing either, it's interesting to know how easy it is to put copyrights on pictures and other things we have uploaded. I will definitely be using this more now that I know about it.
Learning about creative commons licence was useful in the fact that like many of my class mates, I was unaware of the copyright laws on photos and practically everything on the web. It was also insightful to hear the different levels of copy right protection and what they allow potential users to do with the material. After watching the presentation by Larry Lessig it's fairly irritating to think that a lot of the knowledge on the web is constrained by outdated copy right laws limiting the access to most people. Hopefully as knowledge grows with people learning how restricted articles are due to publishers, the laws will change accordingly.
It was interesting to know of the different restrictions and copyright issues that can be imposed on images. I usually use google to look up images for projects, and I often get annoyed when a clip art that I want to use has some background picture/intitials embedded in it haha. But I definitely understand why! People want to be recognized for their work, and so rather than getting annoyed, perhaps I'll just email the individual if I could use their image and ensure that the appropriate attributes are given.
Learning about creative commons liscences gave me insight on how peoples work should be resepcted and is a great away to make sure your work stays as your work. With innovations in everything arising out of no where it's good to play it safe with the CC liscence. I generally didn't practice this technique but I will now seeing how important it is in our "creative" community!
HERE IS MY NEW LINK TO MY CREATIVE COMMONS LICENSED FLICKR PHOTO! I ACCIDENTALLY SENT THE URL LAST TIME! THANKS!
I found this lecture to very interesting and quite surprisingly I wasn't the only one who was not familiar with the different types of licensing and each of their restrictions. This class is a very helpful class and actually teaches very relevant and useful information to each student pursuing their different programs in the Faculty of Agriculture, Life & Environmental Science! Each module has thus far introduced very helpful tools that I'm positive we will all take forward with us into our future careers! The CC licensing is a very important subject in not only our academic career but also our social lives etc. One must be able to correctly use, share, perform, (etc.) others' works properly to allow proper credibility and originality.
Larry Lessig's speech made me realize the impact of limited access to information and how much publishers can profit from an artists' work. It seems unfair that only the 'elite' can benefit from access (without cost) to the majority of available information. It is good to see Creative Commons licensing is making at least some forms of media more available. I like how he ended on a positive note, emphasizing that those in positions of power can help to make a difference in allowing greater access to knowledge.
Micheal Geists' blog was informative on the ongoing struggle between anti-spam supporters and business groups who claim restrictions will create barriers.
Until Mondays lecture I've never even heard of the two words "creative" and "commons" being used together. I always knew about copyright but never knew how it could be different for different media sources and how they work. As of Mondays lecture I know how to deal with copyright somewhat better. So now I will be able to properly cite each piece of work I use properly and not just generalize everything.
ATTENTION, check this photo out HAHA I think you'll like it. I snapped this of a brave pigeon in the fountains just outside of SUB. DEATHCORE PIGEON is epic.
I had no idea how copyright worked in regards to photos on social media sites. It's good that Creative Commons makes it easy to share and ensure due credibility for the original work.
Vlatko - photobucket is not the same as flickr has as we all have flickr accounts, it is easier to use flickr - we can all comment and I can keep track of course tags. Would you consider adding your photo to flickr so that I can comment? (Comments on photobucket require registration and login).
Re: Kenneth - that is interesting bringing up the Black List Bill but really that is for sites that are employing copyright infringement. As long as proper copyright law is followed and attribution etc... is given, there shouldn't be a problem. But it seems that the law won't be passed as there is lots of loud opposition. What do you think?
It's great to see laws moving with modernizing times, especially in terms of sharing information between individuals. Copyright can be a real pain sometimes, especially in university when teachers are simply trying to show pictures/graphs/tables that can really aid in the understanding of their students, but they CAN'T because of copyrights! So they can show you this information on the slideshow, but are not allowed to distribute it or make it available to the students in any other form. Needless to say Creative Commons are a fantastic step towards stepping around these unfortunate restrictions :D
According to Michael Geist, Canadian copyright law has been significantly influenced by the US government. Mr. Geist argues that Canada could be more flexible with respect to the digital lock provisions of the impending Bill C-32 which may be passed by the end of this year. If Mr. Geist's assessment is accurate, I'm disappointed that the Canadian government is once again being led by its southern neighbor.
I am so glad that I take ales 204 with you! I really learn a lot!!! Creative Commons & CopyRight is the thing that i was looking for!!!! Before this class, I was wondering how can people make copyright for their own photos!!! Especially, when I want to post my design works on the internet, I always want to do something to avoid any copy.
I agree with Larry Lessig: nothing is more frustrating than encountering a missing table, figure or other part of a "free" copyrighted article. According to Mr. Lessig, publishers implement specific copyright licences even on portions of a work for no other purpose than their own profit. Keeping in mind that copyrighting is in place to allow for the safe and fair distribution and sharing of information, having publisher profit as the bottom line seems rather contradictory.
I always wondered how citing internet material was protected, now I know, with creative commons. I also never realized how many different options there were for protecting your creative work.
Harvard professor, Larry Lessig, gives a MUST VIEW lecture for students regarding Scientific Publishing. This lecture gives a super demonstration of the real cost $$ to the average person to access scientific information online. A key point being that students and professors are a group of "elite" or priviledged individuals who have free access to published information, unlike the average person. Free access to copyrighted material is a real differentiated priviledge most students can't yet appreciate. I applaud his calling on the leaders of academia (the leaders of the current knowledge "elite") to become the leaders of a free access revolution. Larry Lessig puts forth a strong arguement for senior tenured professors to avoid restrictive access publishers (despite prestige issues) and to disseminate their information instead thru free access publications. I think it's brilliant. Larry Lessig's lecture can be viewed at http://vimeo.com/23078677 (under Creative Commons license with attribution only.)
Prior to this lecture I had briefly seen creative common symbols on soundcloud, but I was unaware of their purpose. This is a great system to protect the work of writers, photographers and even musicians!
Thanks so much for teaching proper image citation to us! I had no idea about the rules that surround table/graph/image copyright. I’ve probably copyrighted people’s images a lot previously without even knowing. It’s scary to think about how many photos are probably mis-credited and the potential consequences that may arise from the re-user being unaware of the illegality. I love how flickr allows the photo owner a Creative Commons license. This way they will get credit for the photo and not whoever else is reprinting it.
Here are a couple of my flickr photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/67736820@N02/6306322712/in/photostream It is a photo that I took of the tiger at the Calgary Zoo over the summer! http://www.flickr.com/photos/67736820@N02/6306311536/ This one if a photo of me and my friend on the beach in Cuba over the 2010/11 winter break!
This class was very informative. It is great to know proper image citation. It was also great to learn about creative commons, and how different licensing can be used so that we retain ownership of our works. I never realized how easy it is to put copy rights on pictures and other published works, I always thought of it as some extensive, daunting process.
Prior to this class, I had no knowledge of Creative Commons. This class was certainly informative and taught me all the different kinds of licenses. Copyright is such a strict issue and is neccessary to protect your work and others. I'm sure all of us have used images, text and etc "illegally" with no bad intentions of course. I'm glad ALES204 is teaching us things like CC and copyright.

Before this lecture, I have never thought about the word "copyright" when uploading pictures to the internet. However, in this lecture, I know that copyright is a useful and important tool to protect rihgt of everyone. It is interesting to see funny photoshoped pictures of others, but photoshoping others' pictures without permissions can be illegal even though it might just for fun. Therefore, learning the importance of copyright can protect the right of everyone and prevent them from doing "illegal" thing without awaring of it. This lecture is really informative and useful for me!
Just found out about Creative commons today. Sharing photos is probably one of the common activities on the internet and they are not hard to find. The problem with it is that people who are not aware of creative commons can post photos and later find others who are using their work and claim it is theirs. Flickr allows you to take ownership of your photos and make it yours alone. Then others can give you credit by citing your photos in their research or papers.
Sharing photos over the internet seems to be how it's done now-a-days. Althought copyright is a huge issue, I still have a hard time fully understanding how it works. For example, some of my photos have ended up on other peoples websites. I don't remember signing a release or anything. It's a little odd. One thing I make sure to due is always cite photos that I use for any of my university assignments!
There are some very interesting points with the creative commons. I never knew that there were Creative Commons Lisences, or so many different kinds!

I did not know a lot about copyright laws prior to this class. Basically, these laws ensure that your work (papers, novels, plays, art, etc.) cannot be altered or shared by others. It takes 70+ years to have newly published works to be available to the public via the web. A way to get around this is to put a creative common liscence on your work. This way, others can use it.

I never knew there was a such thing as creative commons! I never really thought about copyright and that sort of thing, never thought it was a big deal. Now I realized that's a big mistake, and I should take a look at the type of copyright whatever I am using has. I will definitely start looking at the licenses and making sure I attribute them, because I would want others to do the same with my property.
ReplyDeleteGreat class today. Good to know about Licensing, who knows how much of my work has been spread around without my permission.
ReplyDeleteVery useful CC and licenses.I'm still a little bit shocked after knowing that I never use licenses and CC on my previous pictures,musics,articles.Should and Need!Also, it's great to know how to do the settings in terms of licenses, privacy, permissions.Then I could know how to protect my own and others' works on the internet.
ReplyDeleteLarry Lessig had a very interesting video. I was not aware that obtaining a scientific article could be so costly. I could somewhat justify the price if the authors themselves were profiting and this allowed them to continue their work. However, its is the publishers who are collecting the money. The science commons initiative by creative commons will allow anyone to have access to information with out a $20 price tag.
ReplyDeleteMichael Giest's Blog has many, many interesting blog posts about the internet. He talks about copy write, spam legislation, and cyber surveillance (just to name a few). What I really like about his blog was that it is about issues pertinent to Canada and Canadian internet legislation's.
The lecture today on Image Citation and Copyright was very interesting. I will definitely check the copyright rules on an image before I simply "Copy & Paste". Creative Commons are an excellent resource to find images without violating copyright legislations. (but be sure to check the restrictions on the CC!)
ReplyDeleteHere is a pic I took or me doing my ALES 204 Homework.
ReplyDeleteIts great to know about the copyright laws, and what they mean, I will have to remember to integrate them into my future projects. I really like the CC implications and support what they allow us to do. Also, I appreciate the connection of this lecture topic to the recent changes made by the university in terms of their copyright laws.

ReplyDeleteAdding pictures to projects was exponentially cheaper and easier after discovering creative commons search engines. Stock photos, although they usually have more variety, tend to be expensive and not as visually pleasing (plus you can't alter them), while images/videos/songs/etc under creative commons are excellent and high quality. I always cringe now when I see a power point done entirely in clip art, as I know they could have easily added a lovely creative commons image for free instead!
This class was highly informative as I have never heard about Creative Commons licenses before. I am glad that I am more aware of proper copyright procedures and I will make sure I use them as a reference.
ReplyDeletegot to know so much about copy right... with all the information provided by the internet its kind of hard for Copyright to still be in practiced. therefore for individuals who do not wish to share their work by licensing their works they can protect their work and get credit for it.

Today's lecture was really useful for me because over the past week I had been working on my blog and used pictures from Flickr to add to my blog. Today's lecture helped me understand the different categories of copyright that people have placed on their pictures and now I know what those symbols mean and the limitations placed in the pictures. Proper attribution and dissemination is extremely important when using other's work.

ReplyDeleteI know more about copyrights from today's lecture. I think copyrights are relative to our daily life as problems like illegally music downloaded or pictures shared on web are highly concerned in our society. I have learned different types of creative commons, which can let us share, but also protect authors or creators and their work. Overall, I think copyrights are extremely important for people who do not want others to share their ideas or work without permission.

ReplyDeletecopyright should be taken seriously as our lecture has discussed. If i were to publish stuff I want to protect, CC will protect it!

I had not heard of Creative Commons before this class. I was aware there were legal copyright laws but I did not know one can choose the degree to which others can use their information. I will have to be sure to go back to my blog and check the photos I have used.
ReplyDeleteI am glad I now know what CC means!

ReplyDeleteIt was interesting to here about Creative Commons, and the main point i got from classs was that creative commons don't necessarily replace a copyright, but that they are based upon them. However, I was wondering if the new 'Black List Bill' will affect Creative Commons and sites that use these agreements, such as Wiki. The Bill, if passed, will affectively destroy sites like YouTube and Twitter that are based on user-generated content, by making the site's owners legally responsible for the content that is posted.
ReplyDeletePerhaps this should be brought up in class?

It is interesting to learn how people infringe copyrights on a regular basis without even knowing! This lecture was informative, especially the points about the different types of copyrights available such as attribution, non commercial and no derivative. This will be a great way to organize some of the 18 million photos available online.

Today's class was fun and very important indeed. I knew that copyright existed, but I did not knew that it applied to pictures that one obtains from internet as well. I am guilty of taking pictures and uploading it to my blogs or Facebook without attributing-I honestly did not knew about CC. I also learned the different type of CC symbols and what they embodies. As well, I learned how tag a photo and licence it before i upload it to a blog, Facebook or use it for other purpose. I now feel a lot more comfortable with uploading images legally which will protect me in the long run.
ReplyDeleteToday's lecture is one of my favourite class in LAES204. Very useful and practical. I know the important of copyright since many professors mentioned on class. But I feel confused how much credit I should give back to original authors, just link the website is enough? especially the pictures. After toddy's lecture, I know I should check the CC licence on pictures and I will be more confident to cite picture for my future poster or powerpoint presentation. In addition, I also learned how to add CC licence on my own work, like picture, to protect my right as well spread my work as I wanted level.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting class today. I don't even want to think about how often people violate copywrite laws. It's crazy!

I didnt know anything about copy right laws for photos and such till today. Creative commons was a really useful thing to learn and I will definitely keep it in mind when creating my e-portfolio. Also i didnt know that i could put my own creative commons on my pictures and i may just have to do that from now on.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to make a comment on the general use of creative commons licensing. Citing images and other information that you find on the internet shows your proficiency for the newer forms of media and how to show professionalism with them. Which is awesome considering that not all that many people know that using images online without citing them is wrong.
ReplyDeleteI think this was a great lecture to bring this to our attention and give us a chance to use it in a realistic setting.
I learned a lot in the creative commons lecture today... I had no idea the laws about copyright on the internet were so strict. I do feel as if there are a lot of loopholes concerning these laws though... to me it doesn't seem like its very well regulated, as I have never heard of any legal action taken or other instances concerning photographs or text on the internet. I will definitely have to take more care what I send and share with others, and how I use the information that I find online from now on! Like Jess said today, if someone is googling their name to see who is using their information, there could be a big legal mess if someone finds their work is being used inappropriately!

ReplyDeletehere is my photo, sorry for the late.
I knew that copyright laws existed for papers, journals, articles, books amongst other print and electronic sources but I was not aware of the ones for images or pictures on the internet. I use many images in my projects and I usually just get them directly off the internet, and I never thought that they could possibly be under copyright rules.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that we had this lesson today. I learned a lot about copyright laws and this makes it easier for me to share images or links with other people without having to worry about copyright issues.

Creative Commons is a new concept to me. Great idea and easy for any layperson to use.
ReplyDeleteAlthough copyright law can be a dry subject to study, it's important to understand the overlying message. Recognize the author of a work you are using, remixing, etc. and pay attention to any other restrictions imposed by that work's copyright.

I was not aware of the restrictions placed on images on the internet before learning about Creative Commons. It makes sense considering all the other types media with copyright laws. Interesting to learn that I can apply this to my own images! I will be much more careful in future to acknowledge the 'CC license' when searching for images for my own use.
ReplyDeleteI had heard of CC but never knew what it actually was. Very informative class.
ReplyDeleteI never knew there were creative commons licensing either, it's interesting to know how easy it is to put copyrights on pictures and other things we have uploaded. I will definitely be using this more now that I know about it.

Learning about creative commons licence was useful in the fact that like many of my class mates, I was unaware of the copyright laws on photos and practically everything on the web. It was also insightful to hear the different levels of copy right protection and what they allow potential users to do with the material. After watching the presentation by Larry Lessig it's fairly irritating to think that a lot of the knowledge on the web is constrained by outdated copy right laws limiting the access to most people. Hopefully as knowledge grows with people learning how restricted articles are due to publishers, the laws will change accordingly.
ReplyDeleteIt was interesting to know of the different restrictions and copyright issues that can be imposed on images. I usually use google to look up images for projects, and I often get annoyed when a clip art that I want to use has some background picture/intitials embedded in it haha. But I definitely understand why! People want to be recognized for their work, and so rather than getting annoyed, perhaps I'll just email the individual if I could use their image and ensure that the appropriate attributes are given.
ReplyDeleteLearning about creative commons liscences gave me insight on how peoples work should be resepcted and is a great away to make sure your work stays as your work. With innovations in everything arising out of no where it's good to play it safe with the CC liscence. I generally didn't practice this technique but I will now seeing how important it is in our "creative" community!

HERE IS MY NEW LINK TO MY CREATIVE COMMONS LICENSED FLICKR PHOTO! I ACCIDENTALLY SENT THE URL LAST TIME! THANKS!
ReplyDeleteI found this lecture to very interesting and quite surprisingly I wasn't the only one who was not familiar with the different types of licensing and each of their restrictions. This class is a very helpful class and actually teaches very relevant and useful information to each student pursuing their different programs in the Faculty of Agriculture, Life & Environmental Science! Each module has thus far introduced very helpful tools that I'm positive we will all take forward with us into our future careers! The CC licensing is a very important subject in not only our academic career but also our social lives etc. One must be able to correctly use, share, perform, (etc.) others' works properly to allow proper credibility and originality.
Larry Lessig's speech made me realize the impact of limited access to information and how much publishers can profit from an artists' work. It seems unfair that only the 'elite' can benefit from access (without cost) to the majority of available information. It is good to see Creative Commons licensing is making at least some forms of media more available. I like how he ended on a positive note, emphasizing that those in positions of power can help to make a difference in allowing greater access to knowledge.
ReplyDeleteMicheal Geists' blog was informative on the ongoing struggle between anti-spam supporters and business groups who claim restrictions will create barriers.

Until Mondays lecture I've never even heard of the two words "creative" and "commons" being used together. I always knew about copyright but never knew how it could be different for different media sources and how they work. As of Mondays lecture I know how to deal with copyright somewhat better. So now I will be able to properly cite each piece of work I use properly and not just generalize everything.

I had no idea how copyright worked in regards to photos on social media sites. It's good that Creative Commons makes it easy to share and ensure due credibility for the original work.
Vlatko - photobucket is not the same as flickr has as we all have flickr accounts, it is easier to use flickr - we can all comment and I can keep track of course tags. Would you consider adding your photo to flickr so that I can comment? (Comments on photobucket require registration and login).

Re: Kenneth - that is interesting bringing up the Black List Bill but really that is for sites that are employing copyright infringement. As long as proper copyright law is followed and attribution etc... is given, there shouldn't be a problem. But it seems that the law won't be passed as there is lots of loud opposition. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see laws moving with modernizing times, especially in terms of sharing information between individuals. Copyright can be a real pain sometimes, especially in university when teachers are simply trying to show pictures/graphs/tables that can really aid in the understanding of their students, but they CAN'T because of copyrights! So they can show you this information on the slideshow, but are not allowed to distribute it or make it available to the students in any other form. Needless to say Creative Commons are a fantastic step towards stepping around these unfortunate restrictions :D
ReplyDeleteAccording to Michael Geist, Canadian copyright law has been significantly influenced by the US government. Mr. Geist argues that Canada could be more flexible with respect to the digital lock provisions of the impending Bill C-32 which may be passed by the end of this year. If Mr. Geist's assessment is accurate, I'm disappointed that the Canadian government is once again being led by its southern neighbor.

ReplyDeleteI am so glad that I take ales 204 with you! I really learn a lot!!! Creative Commons & CopyRight is the thing that i was looking for!!!! Before this class, I was wondering how can people make copyright for their own photos!!! Especially, when I want to post my design works on the internet, I always want to do something to avoid any copy.
I agree with Larry Lessig: nothing is more frustrating than encountering a missing table, figure or other part of a "free" copyrighted article. According to Mr. Lessig, publishers implement specific copyright licences even on portions of a work for no other purpose than their own profit. Keeping in mind that copyrighting is in place to allow for the safe and fair distribution and sharing of information, having publisher profit as the bottom line seems rather contradictory.
ReplyDeleteI always wondered how citing internet material was protected, now I know, with creative commons. I also never realized how many different options there were for protecting your creative work.

ReplyDeleteHarvard professor, Larry Lessig, gives a MUST VIEW lecture for students regarding Scientific Publishing.
ReplyDeleteThis lecture gives a super demonstration of the real cost $$ to the average person to access scientific information online. A key point being that students and professors are a group of "elite" or priviledged individuals who have free access to published information, unlike the average person. Free access to copyrighted material is a real differentiated priviledge most students can't yet appreciate.
I applaud his calling on the leaders of academia (the leaders of the current knowledge "elite") to become the leaders of a free access revolution. Larry Lessig puts forth a strong arguement for senior tenured professors to avoid restrictive access publishers (despite prestige issues) and to disseminate their information instead thru free access publications. I think it's brilliant.
Larry Lessig's lecture can be viewed at http://vimeo.com/23078677 (under Creative Commons license with attribution only.)
Prior to this lecture I had briefly seen creative common symbols on soundcloud, but I was unaware of their purpose. This is a great system to protect the work of writers, photographers and even musicians!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for teaching proper image citation to us! I had no idea about the rules that surround table/graph/image copyright. I’ve probably copyrighted people’s images a lot previously without even knowing. It’s scary to think about how many photos are probably mis-credited and the potential consequences that may arise from the re-user being unaware of the illegality. I love how flickr allows the photo owner a Creative Commons license. This way they will get credit for the photo and not whoever else is reprinting it.

This class was very informative. It is great to know proper image citation. It was also great to learn about creative commons, and how different licensing can be used so that we retain ownership of our works. I never realized how easy it is to put copy rights on pictures and other published works, I always thought of it as some extensive, daunting process.
ReplyDeletePrior to this class, I had no knowledge of Creative Commons. This class was certainly informative and taught me all the different kinds of licenses. Copyright is such a strict issue and is neccessary to protect your work and others. I'm sure all of us have used images, text and etc "illegally" with no bad intentions of course. I'm glad ALES204 is teaching us things like CC and copyright.

Before this lecture, I have never thought about the word "copyright" when uploading pictures to the internet. However, in this lecture, I know that copyright is a useful and important tool to protect rihgt of everyone. It is interesting to see funny photoshoped pictures of others, but photoshoping others' pictures without permissions can be illegal even though it might just for fun. Therefore, learning the importance of copyright can protect the right of everyone and prevent them from doing "illegal" thing without awaring of it.
ReplyDeleteThis lecture is really informative and useful for me!
Just found out about Creative commons today. Sharing photos is probably one of the common activities on the internet and they are not hard to find. The problem with it is that people who are not aware of creative commons can post photos and later find others who are using their work and claim it is theirs. Flickr allows you to take ownership of your photos and make it yours alone. Then others can give you credit by citing your photos in their research or papers.
ReplyDeleteNaomi Porciuncula
Sharing photos over the internet seems to be how it's done now-a-days. Althought copyright is a huge issue, I still have a hard time fully understanding how it works. For example, some of my photos have ended up on other peoples websites. I don't remember signing a release or anything. It's a little odd. One thing I make sure to due is always cite photos that I use for any of my university assignments!
