no-derivs

Interested in online video, this was at the time when broadband was starting to make this possible, devised a way to attach unobtrusive ads to end of videos, release under CC no-derivs, attrib, licence, and share the revenue on a 50-50 basis with creators, or 40-20-20 if there was an affiliate, so produce financial incentive to share video.

Michael Abramowicz: He is skeptical about the critique of no-derivs, a restriction which is often as important as attribution.

CC pays a price in ideological consistency by claiming to support free circulation of information but also allowing no-derivs.

But autonomy is an important issue because it helps explain the conflicting goals of CC licenses – that’s why CC ends up with no-derivs rather than making the hard choices.

I don’t think that the use of no-derivs in a third of CC licenses indicates that CC is making things worse in terms of norms of sharing information.

But fundamentally I think she’d object to CC with no-derivs even if she thought it improved information functioning, because that would still contribute to the marketization of information.

It’s better for people to stay out of CC and make up their own terms, than for CC to have a no-derivs option.

Now there’s a whole set of choices and licenses, people may decide to put more restrictions – like no-derivs.
