Creative Commons/Digital Commons

Learnscope 08
Just getting my head around the new-ish direction the 08 funding application is moving towards. One aspect that will require some careful consideration is that the Commonwealth funding body will assume copyright over the deliverables. We've been toying with the idea to split our project into two distinct parts, a commercial section and a common [free to air] section but this may need a re-think.
Underpinning this is Web 2.0. It's all about social networking and online collaboration. Trouble is it's a minefield out there in terms of what we want to use, and what we can legally use.
Learnscope 08 will drill down into the Digital Commons and Creative Commons, share info legally, and learn about transacting in this realm.
We're also about generating $'s for IAD so in 08 we'll be looking at ways of distributing memes on a pay per view basis. This will be Online from our web, and with location sensing media players [PDA/GPS, NextG mob Ph's, Bluetooth, WiMax etc] we'll be researching how to garner payments from "new media" distribution.
So, back to the commons, cop an optic on this Youtube vodcast from the Creative Commons.
