Hi, It's a great pleasure for me to tell all of you that the Chilean Library of Congress (http://www.bcn.cl) has released all his content with a Creative Commons license (CC- by-nc-sa). This is a very important notice for the CC Chile team, because shows how the government can use alternative to the legal framework in order to bring freedoms to use to the citizen.

um, i think section 105 of the US Copyright Act has actually done that and more for you jon http://www.copyright.gov/ title17/92chap1.html#105. there is no copyright recognized under US law for US federal government works. hence the US Library of Congress' statement re: the fact that "As a publicly supported U.S. Government institution, the Library generally does not own rights in its collections and what is posted on its Web site." http://www.loc.gov/homepage/legal.html#link On Jan 26, 2007, at 12:47 PM, Jon Phillips wrote: > On Thu, 2007-01-25 at 17:33 -0300, Claudio Ruiz wrote: >> Hi, >> It's a great pleasure for me to tell all of you that the Chilean >> Library >> of Congress (http://www.bcn.cl) has released all his content with a >> Creative Commons license (CC- by-nc-sa). >> >> This is a very important notice for the CC Chile team, because >> shows how >> the government can use alternative to the legal framework in order to >> bring freedoms to use to the citizen. >> >> Regards, >> Claudio >> cc-chile > > This is very cool!

Wikipedia has a big section on public domain and why not start with collecting there? And, or, start your own collection...I've personally been involved with collecting much info on the http://openclipart.org/wiki about pd art content.

All the content in the library? Or all the content for > which the library holds the copyright? I believe it is the content the library generates and not the content they track (similar to US LoC). Claudio though, could you clarify this...it is a good thing to clarify.

Dear Claudio, ongratualtions to the cc-chile team! this is good to know and pobably a very useful example when talking to government organizations in other countries. because of this i was wondering if you could be a little more specific about this case. does this mean that the Chilean Library of Congress has released its entire collection of works authored by others under a CC licenses (i assume this is not the case) or does it mean they are releasing all the material of which they have the copyright (and if so does this mean that all government publications are affected by this choice) or does this mean that they are using cc for the content on their website... all the best from amsterdam, paul (CC-NL) -- waag society | nieuwmarkt 4 | NL - 1012 CR amsterdam e: paulwaag.org | t: +31 20 557 9898 | f: +31 20 557 9880 _______________________________________________ cc-community mailing list cc-communitylists.ibiblio.org http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/cc-community

I think a better ploy might be for all unregistered works to
be copyleft or at 
least all unmarked works. (unmarked = no copyright notice)

Plus, the copyright office shold have to make public on the
net a list of all 
works ever registered and all that have passed into the
public domain. And 
more ambitiously, digitize and make available for download,
all works that 
have passed into the public domain.
