I am
very pleased to announce the release of a new report by the Australian Research
Council Centre of Excellence
for Creative Industries and Innovation (CCi) (http://cci.edu.au) and
Creative
Commons Australia
(http://creativecommons.org.au) -
Unlocking the
Potential Through Creative Commons: An Industry Engagement and Action Agenda.
This report draws upon the CCau Industry Forum, a research-focused industry
engagement event hosted by CCi in November 2006. The event was designed to
follow up a recommendation in the Australian Government's 2005 Digital
Content Action Agenda report (http://www.dcita.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/37356/06030055_REPORT.pdf
)
that the industry should "engage with work occurring in the area of
alternative approaches to intellectual property licensing, such as Creative
Commons". Focusing on the government, education and the creative
industries sectors, the Forum aimed to evaluate understanding of and attitudes
towards copyright, open content licensing (OCL) and the Creative Commons
initiative within Australia.
The Unlocking the Potential Through Creative Commons report evaluates and
responds to the outcomes of this Forum and presents a strategy for continued
research into Creative Commons in Australia. Full copies of the
report can be downloaded at
