<p>Happy Monday Friends! We&#8217;re back with a new episode of <a href="https://creativecommons.org/about/program-areas/arts-culture/voices-vlog/">Open Culture VOICES</a>! VOICES is a vlog series of short interviews with open GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) experts from around the world. The Open Culture Program at Creative Commons aims to promote better sharing of cultural heritage in GLAMs collections. With Open Culture VOICES, we’re thrilled to bring you various perspectives from dozens of experts speaking in many different languages on what it’s like to open up heritage content online. Joining us for this episode is <a href="https://www.smk.dk/en/contact_person/merete-sanderhoff/">Merete Sanderhoff</a>, Curator and Senior Advisor of Digital Museum Practice at <a href="https://www.smk.dk/en/">Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK)</a> in Denmark. Merete&#8217;s work at SMK focuses on opening up digitized collections and inviting the public to build on our common heritage for learning, creativity and innovation.</p>
<p><strong>Merete responds to the following questions: </strong></p>
<ol>
<li>What are the main benefits of open GLAM?</li>
<li>What are the barriers?</li>
<li>Could you share something someone else told you that opened up your eyes and mind about open GLAM?</li>
<li>Do you have a personal message to those hesitating to open up collections?</li>
</ol>

<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Calling all artists! Participate in #CCSharesCulture, our new Open Culture Remix Art Contest! The theme this year is &#8220;Love Culture? Share Culture!&#8221;</span></h3>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this 20th anniversary year of the CC license suite, we are pleased to be renewing our commitment to <a href="https://creativecommons.org/stewardship/">license stewardship</a>. Creative Commons has always taken its stewardship responsibilities seriously, engaging in <a href="https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/4.0">multi-year consultation processes for versioning</a> the tools, <a href="https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Legal_Code_Translation_Policy">publishing official translations</a> of the licenses into dozens of languages, and working to <a href="https://certificates.creativecommons.org/">educate people about how the licenses work</a> within the law and with new technologies.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Befor</span><span>e en</span>tering the next chapter of CC’s work as steward of the CC licenses and public tools, we took a look back at the various ways in which we have supported our tools, and our communities over the past 20 years. And then, with your help, we set out to craft a concrete set of principles and responsibilities to guide this work in future years.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To do this, we engaged in a public consultation through calls, webinars, and written input to find out what our stakeholders think good stewardship looks like. The result of those efforts is memorialized on this </span><a href="https://creativecommons.org/stewardship/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">License Stewardship page</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on the CC site. We will be using this as a signpost for our work going forward, and we will be counting on all of you to help us stay accountable to the values and activities described there. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In short, as we look to </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">new </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">endeavors for the organization, we want to ensure we do not neglect the foundational tools that serve as infrastructure for wide swaths of the digital commons. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Last but not least, we are excited to be restarting a dedicated mailing list for license enthusiasts and experts. In years past, CC has had various mailing lists designed to serve as spaces for conversation and debate about license interpretation and other related issues. This new mailing list is designed to replicate that function, and serve as a place where people can ask questions and discuss thorny issues about CC licenses and public domain tools. The recent and ongoing issue around </span><a href="https://creativecommons.org/2022/02/08/copyleft-trolls/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">aggressive license enforcement</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is one example of the types of topics likely to be discussed in this forum. If you are interested in joining, you can </span><a href="https://groups.google.com/a/creativecommons.org/g/licenses-mailing-list/about"><span style="font-weight: 400;">sign up here</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p>

We will hear from artists and heritage professionals firsthand as they share their vision for better sharing of cultural heritage to support contemporary creativity in the digital space. They will also consider how better sharing can act as an engine for sustainable cultural development, through fair remuneration and open business models.

title: Thoughts on EU Data Act proposal
uri: Thoughts-on-EU-Data-Act-proposal
url: https://creativecommons.org/2022/02/24/thoughts-on-eu-data-act-proposal/
content:
<p>On 23 February, the European Commission published its proposal for a <a href="https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?qid=1593073685620&amp;uri=CELEX:52020DC0066">Data Act</a> –  new rules on who can use and access data generated in the EU across all economic sectors. The Data Act is the second legislation in the EU&#8217;s <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_20_273">data strategy</a> and is in line with the <a href="https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/legislation-open-data">Open Data Directive</a>.</p>
<p>As promised by the Commission, the Data Act is part of the broader EU digital strategy and 2030 digital objectives. The Commission is keen for the EU to retain its global leadership role, driving robust standards for a digital age. The Data Act is designed to rebalance control and power over data and hands more control back to consumers and small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) to more broadly unlock industrial data.</p>
<p>At first glance, the proposal appears to be a step in the right direction of ensuring citizens have power over their own data. Interoperability remains key to empowering citizens and enabling better sharing online. The predominant model of sharing – where content created on large platforms is owned and monetized and where algorithms can foster the spread of misinformation and fake news – is failing citizens and democracies alike.</p>
<p>Core elements of the Act include:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Facilitating access to and the use of data by consumers and businesses</strong>, while preserving incentives to invest in ways of generating value through data:
<ul>
<li>This includes clarifying the application of relevant rights under Directive 96/9/EC on the legal protection of databases (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_Directive">the Database Directive</a>) to its provisions.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Providing for the <strong>public sector use of data held by enterprises</strong> in certain situations where there is an exceptional data need:
<ul>
<li>Primarily public emergencies, but also other exceptional situations where compulsory business-to-government data sharing is justified, to support evidence-based, effective, efficient, and performance-driven public policies and services.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Facilitating the switch between cloud and edge services</strong>:
<ul>
<li>Access to competitive and interoperable data processing services is a precondition for a flourishing data economy, in which data can be shared easily within and across sectoral ecosystems.</li>
<li>The level of trust in data processing services determines the uptake of such services by users across sectors of the economy.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Safeguarding against unlawful data transfer without notification by cloud service providers</strong>:
<ul>
<li>Following concerns raised about non-EU/European Economic Area (EEA) governments’ unlawful access to data.</li>
<li>Such safeguards should further enhance trust in the data processing services that increasingly underpin the European data economy.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Developing interoperability standards for data reuse between sectors:</strong>
<ul>
<li>Remove barriers to data sharing across domain-specific common European data spaces, inconsistency with sectoral interoperability requirements, and between other data that are not within the scope of a specific common European data space.</li>
<li>Supports the setting of standards for &#8216;smart contracts’ &#8211; computer programs on electronic ledgers that execute and settle transactions based on pre-determined conditions, which have the potential to provide data holders and data recipients with guarantees that conditions for sharing data are respected.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>As the legislative debate heats up it would be good to see more focus on interoperability as it applies to better sharing online. There must be an opportunity to place citizens at the heart of this legislative proposal to ensure we have better sharing online in the public interest. Creative Commons looks forward to being part of this conversation.</p>
<p><em>An open public consultation on the Data Act ran between 3 June and 3 September 2021 and gathered views on measures to create fairness in data sharing, value for consumers and businesses.</em></p>
<p><em>The <a href="https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/news/data-act-businesses-and-citizens-favour-fair-data-economy">results</a> were published on 6 December 2021.</em></p>

<p>We are all affected by Russia&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine. In the interests of global peace, whether or not you have family or friends in Ukraine, the brutal aggression by a neighboring state creating a war affecting millions of innocent people has to be condemned in the strongest way possible.</p>
<p>As a global not-for-profit, with a community across the world that believes in democratic values, we stand with those Ukrainians upholding democracy, defending freedom and the rule of law.</p>
<p>In the context of mobile connectivity, this is like no other war that has gone before.  As Thomas Friedman aptly describes in today&#8217;s <em>New York Times</em>,  we are &#8220;wired together more intimately than ever before by telecommunications; satellites; trade; the internet; road, rail and air networks; financial markets and supply chains…. Welcome to World War Wired-the first war in a totally interconnected world.”</p>
<p>This highlights the importance of openness, so that scrutiny can properly be brought to bear, so that accountability is not hidden from the public. This also casts light on regimes restricting, or otherwise skewing, access to information, news, and knowledge.  Something we strive to overcome. Our community stands in solidarity with Ukraine.</p>

<p>In 2020, we entered the last Decade of Action to implement the <a href="https://sdgs.un.org/goals">United Nations Sustainable Development Goals</a> (SDGs). As the target date for achieving the SDGs draws closer, <a href="https://en.unesco.org/">UNESCO</a> is engaging its Member States and the international community in a renewed reflection on cultural policies to address global challenges and set immediate and future priorities to shape a more robust and resilient cultural sector fully anchored in sustainable development prospects.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In preparation for the UNESCO World Conference on Cultural Policies and Sustainable Development — </span><a href="https://www.unesco.org/en/mondiacult2022"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mondiacult 2022</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Creative Commons participated in the <a href="https://en.unesco.org/news/resiliart">ResiliArt x Mondiacult initiative</a> and hosted a webinar on Wednesday, 23 February 2022 to explore how open access to cultural heritage materials encourages artists to discover, share, and remix such materials.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Our </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">ResiliArt x Mondiacult webinar</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> brought together artists and heritage professionals to share their vision for better sharing of cultural heritage to support contemporary creativity in the digital space.

<p>Welcome to episode ten of <a href="https://creativecommons.org/about/program-areas/arts-culture/voices-vlog/"><span>Open Culture VOICES</span></a><span>! VOICES is a vlog series of short interviews with open GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) experts from around the world. The Open Culture Program at Creative Commons aims to promote better sharing of cultural heritage in GLAMs collections. With Open Culture VOICES, we’re thrilled to bring you various perspectives from dozens of experts speaking in many different languages on what it’s like to open up heritage content online. In this episode, we&#8217;re joined by Jill Cousins, CEO &amp; Director of The Hunt Museum in Limerick, Ireland. The Hunt Museum exhibits one of Ireland&#8217;s greatest private collections of Art and Antiquities, dating from the Neolithic Period to the 20th century. Jill has been pivotal in their work on digitization and opening up the collection to new audiences. Prior to joining The Hunt Museum, she was the Executive Director of Europeana Foundation. </span></p>

If you would like to nominate a member of the CC Global Network or Open GLAM community for a scholarship &#8211; who has contributed to Open GLAM efforts &#8211; please read below. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The scholarship will help individuals seeking to deepen their knowledge about open licensing and open practices for GLAMs, and get CC Certified! The CC Certificate for GLAM is a rigorous, 10-week course, which requires 6-10 hours of work per week. Scholarships are </span><b>non-refundable</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Scholarship recipients must be willing to devote the required time to complete the course. </span></p>
<p><b><i>Scholarships:</i></b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> We are offering 38 scholarships for our 2022 courses. Scholarships will cover 40% of the registration fee, and scholarship recipients will be responsible for the remaining US$300. While scholarships are open to the first applicants (or nominees) who complete</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">this form</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, we will prioritize granting scholarships to as many countries as possible. Additional considerations:</span></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Applications close on</span><b> 15 March, 2022. </b></li>
<li aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Accepted applicants will be notified by April and will need to register for their preferred course </span><b>before</b> <b>30 May, 2022</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span><b> </b></li>
<li aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The next courses run from </span><b>13 June &#8211; 21 August,</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and from </span><b>26 September &#8211; 4 December, 2022.</b></li>
</ul>
<p><b><i>Course information:</i></b><span> The CC Certificate for GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives and museums) is a professional development training for institutions or community groups engaged in cultural heritage. As more GLAMs adapt to increasingly online audiences and users, they often seek Creative Commons legal tools, expertise and community support. Cultural heritage institutions share a common goal with Creative Commons: to make knowledge and culture globally accessible.</span></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the CC Certificate for GLAM, community members will develop capacity in opening access to cultural heritage. They will develop a deeper understanding of open licensing and copyright considerations with digitization projects, Rights Statements, Traditional Knowledge Labels, working with the public domain, and more.</span></li>
<li aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">CC Certificate for GLAM participants will also gain access to a global community of professionals and activists working toward similar cultural and policy changes in their own cultural heritage institutions.
<p></span></li>

Whether intentional or unconscious, bias can make it difficult for women (trans, cis, femmes), nonbinary and gender-non-conforming folks to get ahead in life. Discrimination affects all industries, including the open movement. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At Creative Commons, we believe openness can enhance the efficiency and effectiveness in life and business, while also making social processes more democratic, fostering diversity, promoting civil society engagement, including contributions from marginalized and underrepresented communities and groups. That&#8217;s why it is key that we, in the open movement, ensure we are centering gender equity in all our work, making it a matter of concern and action, so that we can truly break the bias.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ahead of IWD on Tuesday 8 March, we took a look back to our &#8216;Women in Open&#8217; panel from CC Global Summit 2021 to bring to the forefront inspirational words from some awesome women breaking through the barriers and working to make the internet and our global culture more open and collaborative. </span></p>
<p style="border: 3px; border-style: solid; border-color: #05b5da; padding: 1em;"><strong>CC is launching an open call to the CC Community for nominations of women, nonbinary and gender-non-conforming folks to be considered for profile features on the CC Blog. <a href="https://forms.gle/NM3h4UdfzD7HhK7s6">Nominate yourself or someone you think the community should know. </a></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The conversation was moderated by </span><a href="https://creativecommons.org/author/deliabrowne/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Delia Browne</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, CC Board Member and National Copyright Director, National Copyright Unit (Australia). On the panel, we had </span><a href="https://twitter.com/lilabailey"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lila Bailey</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Senior Policy Counsel for the </span><a href="https://archive.org/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Internet Archive</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, </span><a href="https://twitter.com/kaythaney?lang=en"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kaitlin Thaney</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Executive Director of </span><a href="https://investinopen.org/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Invest in Open Infrastructure</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and </span><a href="https://twitter.com/little_wow"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jennie Rose Halperin</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Executive Director of </span><a href="https://libraryfutures.net/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Library Futures</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p>
<p><em><strong>Here’s an excerpt from the conversation, where Delia asked the panelists about their women role models. <a href="#watch-full-panel-discussion">Watch the full panel discussion here</a>.</strong></em></p>
<hr size="10" />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">“</h3>
<p><b>Delia: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Because we’re here celebrating the women of Creative Commons, and this has been a wonderful thing that we&#8217;ve been doing for the past few summits — who is your woman idol or mentor, that you&#8217;d want to pay respect to?</span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">“</h3>
<p><b>Lila: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">So Delia, for me, you are like my most obvious answer. I just feel when I was back in the day, you took me under your wing and were just so welcoming and taught me so much not only about how it works in Australia, but how Creative Commons works as a global network. And just really your friendship and your openness&#8230; and you&#8217;re just like telling it how it is always, no matter what has always, just really impressed me. And so you are a big inspiration and a mentor to me. And I also want to say Delia has been there [Creative Commons] since the very beginning. And I just want to say here in this moment to say that I&#8217;m so delighted to know Catherine Stihler, now — I did not know anything about her until she became the CEO. But we&#8217;ve been working together, and I&#8217;m just so thrilled by her version of leadership, and I&#8217;m so excited to see where she&#8217;s going to take this organization. I&#8217;m really thrilled to have more women coming in and women staying in. </span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">“</h3>
<p><b>Kaitlin:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">This one&#8217;s tough, I will say, because there weren&#8217;t a ton of women in science under the age of 35, let alone 50, when we were doing this sort of work, I will get to the women mentees—but I also have to say that Hal Ableson, James Boyle, Mike Carroll and John Willbanks were like instrumental in making sure I was prepared for the level of scrutiny of being a woman that was younger going and speaking in traditionally male dominated spaces. That was in many cases, a place that did not always feel safe, and they made sure that I was prepared, that I was supported, and I&#8217;m eternally grateful for that. I hope that is not what we need to train others in the same sort of way, but just a huge shout out for their foresight there. I will also say that in terms of individuals in the space, both mentors and mentees Danielle Robinson, who&#8217;s Co-Executive Director of Code for Science &amp; Society, where I&#8217;m not only on the board, but also now lucky enough to be a fiscally sponsored project. She was one of my former Mozilla fellows and is now leading very authentically an organization that imbues care and openness, leadership and support for a broad variety of projects. And so it&#8217;s one of those amazing examples where I continue to learn from her, but it also has come full circle. And I think that is really important as well in terms of looking at ways in which we can pay that forward.</span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">“</h3>
<p><b>Jennie: </b>I feel very lucky to have been nurtured by all the women on this panel, as well as by Catherine. I&#8217;ve had a close relationship with the first librarian I ever really got to know, who is Jenna Freedman, the Zine Librarian at Barnard College, which is where I first encountered a lot of the free culture ideas that I have spent my career working with… As far as mentors go, Jenna is for ever, but I also really do feel lucky to have been nurtured by all of you. Particularly as somebody who is a younger ED, who was tapped on the shoulder, like &#8220;do you want to try a strategy?&#8221;, &#8220;well do what actually, just do this thing?&#8221; And now it&#8217;s been a really exciting 10 months, and to be honest, I really see most of my relationships as being a two-way street, like Caitlin said&#8230; I&#8217;ve had the opportunity and joy to work with a lot of folks within the Library Futures community who are really doing the work of controlled digital lending, or really doing the on the ground work with patrons and with user communities, and getting to know a whole new group of folks&#8230; Again, a long way of saying I feel nurtured by most of the people I get to interact with, and I feel like that makes me in many ways one of the most fortunate people within the space.</p>

CC stands in solidarity with Ukraine and supports those safeguarding public collections, educational resources, and cultural heritage sites

content:
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As more than a million Ukrainians flee for safety, the United Nations is calling the exodus Europe’s fastest-growing refugee crisis since World War II (WWII). The war in Ukraine is causing terrible human suffering and death and will impact future generations of Ukrainians. The lives of millions across the continent are now in total upheaval. In the face of the tragic devastation, the question “is this the start of Cold War II or worse yet, WWIII?” is edging into mainstream conversations. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alongside the humanitarian crisis, the war is also causing irreversible damage to the arts, cultural, education, information, and media sectors. </span><b>Creative Commons stands in solidarity with Ukraine and supports the brave and selfless individuals, working hard to preserve, safeguard, protect, and share the knowledge and cultural heritage of the Ukrainian people. </b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We stand beside </span><a href="https://www.culture.gouv.fr/en/Presse/Communiques-de-presse/Declaration-des-ministres-europeens-de-la-culture-et-des-medias-sur-la-situation-en-Ukraine"><span style="font-weight: 400;">EU Ministers of Culture and Media</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> who expressed their support for artists, journalists, and cultural and media professionals, who, because of Russian military aggression, are now threatened in their freedoms. </span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We also agree with the </span><a href="https://www.unesco.org/en/articles/ukraine-unesco-statement-following-adoption-un-general-assembly-resolution"><span style="font-weight: 400;">statement</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of UNESCO Director-General, Audrey Azoulay, who called for the “protection of Ukrainian cultural heritage, which bears witness to the country’s rich history, and includes its </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_World_Heritage_Sites_in_Ukraine"><span style="font-weight: 400;">seven World Heritage sites</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> – notably located in Lviv and Kyiv; the cities of Odessa and Kharkiv, members of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network; its national archives, some of which feature in the UNESCO Memory of the World Register; and its sites commemorating the tragedy of the Holocaust.” </span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We commend UNESCO’s efforts in helping Ukraine safeguard museum collections and cultural property.  We also encourage volunteers to help archive Ukrainian cultural heritage sites, for example through this </span><a href="https://www.sucho.org/orientation"><span style="font-weight: 400;">initiative</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><b>At Creative Commons, we believe that caring for cultural heritage is a social responsibility and that it is our collective duty to continue to protect and celebrate cultural heritage and uphold the fundamental right of freedom of information.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Information and culture found in galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (GLAMs) empower people by offering them resources to engage and participate in civic life and build a future for themselves. </span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 1940, during WWII, US Librarian of Congress Archibald MacLeish wrote, &#8220;Keepers of books, keepers of print and paper on the shelves, librarians are keepers also of the records of the human spirit.&#8221; </span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As the war on Ukraine escalates, the global library community is supporting the appeal from the Ukrainian Library Association to combat dis- and mis-information and provide accurate information to support democracy and freedom of expression. False information and media manipulation can be used to alter public opinion. Preserving and ensuring collections are available to everyone can help manage the spread of dis- and mis-information by making information, knowledge, culture and history available to all instead of warped through revisionist theories.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the field of education, the Open Education community has highlighted the need for Ukrainian open educational resources (OER) for children and teachers as countries prepare to receive refugees. Helping children get back into school, with culturally appropriate educational resources, will be a critical part of ensuring educational opportunities continue in these trying times.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Open Access Research community is working to support Ukrainian researchers through the website</span><a href="https://scienceforukraine.eu/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">#ScienceForUkraine</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">: a platform to support Ukrainian researchers with accommodation, research hosting, and funding. One of our friends and partners, Iryna Kuchma (Open Access Programme Manager at Electronic Information for Libraries -EIFL), lives in Ukraine and has bravely stayed behind with her parents. Her inspiring tweets are a mix of reliance, inspiration and the sadness of war.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Researchers in Russia have published a statement against the war with Ukraine:</span></p>
<blockquote><p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">We, Russian scientists and scientific journalists, declare a strong protest against the hostilities launched by the armed forces of our country on the territory of Ukraine. This fatal step leads to huge human losses and undermines the foundations of the established system of international security. The responsibility for unleashing a new war in Europe lies entirely with Russia.</span></i></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Together we unite in these somber times. Let us hope for a return to peace and respect for human dignity soon.</span></p>

<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">This article is the third of </span></i><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">five </span></i><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">detailing breakout sessions from the 2021 Creative Commons (CC) Global Summit about “creating a better internet.” The Summit was an opportune platform for these conversations, as it drew over 1600 attendees from over 90 countries. Attendees included organizations, activists, advocates, librarians, educators, lawyers, and technologists. </span></i></p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">This article summarizes conversations where participants were asked how they would envision and realize a better internet as it relates to architecture and open standards. Other articles in the series include </span></i><a href="https://creativecommons.org/2022/01/18/better-internet-series-access-to-information-and-knowledge/"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Access to Information and Knowledge</span></i></a><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Misinformation, and Platformization and Choice. </span></i></p>
<h4><b>INTRODUCTION</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The relationship between people and the spaces they inhabit is always evolving – one reciprocally shaping the other. Whether the space is a building or a park, it is designed to meet needs and solve problems. But with time, these spaces need reshaping to address current needs and problems.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When the internet was first created, it was designed for a military need, and then evolved to increase communication between scientists. The invention of the World Wide Web in the 1990s opened up the internet to millions who engaged in this space. As a result, it evolved into the good and bad of the internet we experience today. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The design of any space, including the internet, is ongoing to address new problems and challenges. This is exactly what one conversation during the CC Global Summit aimed to do – to discuss the current state of the internet and its future as it relates to internet architecture and open standards.</span></p>
<h4><b>BACKGROUND</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Simply put, internet architecture is an assemblage of diverse and independent networks. For information and messages to be understood, the internet relies on standards and protocols (like TCP/IP, HTML, CSS, and XML).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The internet was set up using open standards and protocols, interoperability, open internet ecosystems, and scalable decentralization. This makes it possible for services, devices, and applications to work together.</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">  </span></i></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Vint Cerf, one of the fathers of the internet, said, &#8220;The theory we had is that if we just specified what the protocols would look like and what software you needed to write, anybody who wanted to build a piece of the internet would do that and find somebody who would be willing to connect to them. Then the system would grow organically because it didn&#8217;t have any central control.&#8221;</span></p></blockquote>
<h4><b>OPEN VS CLOSED STANDARDS</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">From a technical designer and developer side,</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">standards are extremely important. From a user perspective, standards make internet connectivity seamless. Standards are “open” when they are non-proprietary, collaborative, and transparent. Open standards allow compatibility between products from different manufacturers, so that they work together, communicate, and share information.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">A closed standard is a file format, protocol, or program whose specifications are not publicly available, software whose source code is not available and includes patent-encumbered technologies. Closed standards are typically developed by private companies and only hardware and software from the same company can be used together. This creates a closed, or private, network only accessible to authorized users.</span></p>
<h4><b>INTEROPERABILITY</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Billions of systems, using different combinations of hardware and software, link together and communicate because they are using the same set of protocols and standards. This infrastructure promotes interoperability – where information is shared openly. This multistakeholder use of the internet strengthens the open internet ecosystem.</span></p>
<h4><b>OPEN INTERNET ECOSYSTEMS</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">An open internet ecosystem model is open, transparent, collaborative and provides the </span><a href="https://creativecommons.org/2022/01/18/better-internet-series-access-to-information-and-knowledge/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">benefits of sharing information and knowledge</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. In fact, one of the objectives of the United Nations is to protect and promote the right to access to information, fundamental freedom, and a key pillar for building inclusive knowledge societies.</span></p>
<h4><b>DECENTRALIZATION</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Simply defined, a </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">decentralized web is a system of interconnected, independent, network of resources that work together to provide private, secure, access to information and services where no one player can control its use.  </span></p>
<hr />
<h4><b>VISION FOR THE FUTURE</b></h4>
<p><b>During the breakout conversation on “Internet Architecture and Open Standards,” participants discussed problems, generated ideas, and formulated solutions about re-imagining the internet. The following vision emerged from that session.</b></p>
<h3><b>The emerging vision for the future of a better internet includes prioritizing open standards, interoperability, an open internet ecosystem, decentralized power, education, and social responsibility.</b></h3>
<h4><b>THE FUTURE IS AN INVESTMENT IN OPEN STANDARDS AND DEVELOPMENT</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are thousands of standard organizations around the world and there is no one set of rules for them all. Without implicit cooperation and agreement, this creates a spectrum of standards – some open and some closed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">CC Global Summit participants supported open standards to optimize interoperability. There were concerns that there were barriers to true, collaborative, and inclusive standards development. Comments included, “people without large bankrolls feel that their concerns were not able to be heard in standards development” and “those traditionally left out of decision-making need to be at the virtual table.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">There was also mention of investing in testing. Standards must be tested, approved, and ratified by the appropriate standards organization before they are accepted and adopted by the majority of vendors. Testbeds are controlled experimentation platforms, where new products and developments can be tested in an environment that resembles real-world conditions. Testbeds are funded privately, by governments, or a combination of both.</span></p>
<h4><b style="letter-spacing: 0.13333em;">THE FUTURE IS ADVOCATING FOR INTEROPERABILITY</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">What is preventing interoperability on today’s web? Is it only hindered by monopolies and proprietary systems? Or are there regulations that make it more difficult, or illegal, to create new products that work with existing products?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">CC Global Summit participants want to see more advocacy for interoperability to achieve more control over platforms. They want to take a deeper look at the legal issues and regulatory processes hindering interoperability and open standards. Interoperability is the future of the internet. This includes advancing innovation and openness.</span></p>
<h4><b style="letter-spacing: 0.13333em;">THE FUTURE IS AN OPEN INTERNET ECOSYSTEM</b></h4>
<p><b> </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today’s internet is filled with walled gardens – a closed ecosystem, operated by people within that system. In walled gardens, the owner controls areas such as access, hardware, information, algorithms, and user data. Consider algorithmic feeds, social networks, paid services, and subscriptions.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">During the CC Global Summit breakout session, participants felt that the future must prioritize an open and diverse internet ecosystem with trusted</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> information that serves the public’s interest.</span></p>
<h4><b style="letter-spacing: 0.13333em;">THE FUTURE INCLUDES DECENTRALIZED CONTROL AND USER CHOICE</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Much of the internet is currently controlled by centralized control. Summit participants would like to see an internet where no single party is responsible for controlling the flow of information. They would also like to see differentiated levels of gatekeeping regulation and moderation depending on a specific position in the stack. </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">(A layered internet protocol stack includes layers for applications, transportation, networking, linkage and physical).</span></i></p>
<h4><b style="letter-spacing: 0.13333em;">THE FUTURE INCLUDES INTERNET EDUCATION</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The internet has many complexities, layers, and stakeholders. CC Global Summit participants voiced prioritizing internet education in order to combat misinformation and myths surrounding internet architecture, open standards, and open access. </span></p>
<h4><b style="letter-spacing: 0.13333em;">CONCLUSION</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We are at a critical juncture. The exponential growth in technology is converging with users who want to take back control of their experience on the web. Based on comments made during the CC Global Summit, it feels like what was old is new again in that the original architecture and design of the internet – with open standards and protocols, interoperability, open internet ecosystems, and scalable decentralization – is where we want to be for the future. </span></p>
<hr />
<h4><b style="letter-spacing: 0.13333em;">APPENDIX</b></h4>

<p>A new blueprint on open access to digital cultural heritage collections in the United Kingdom (UK) has been hailed as a significant opportunity to prevent historical works from being “locked down” behind copyright walls.</p>
<p>Recommendations in the <a href="https://zenodo.org/record/6242611#.YjSmG5rMIUZ">report, &#8220;A Culture of Copyright, A scoping study on open access to digital cultural heritage collections in the UK&#8221;</a> was commissioned by the Towards a National Collection programme (TaNC) and should soon be adopted by the UK’s galleries, libraries, archives and museums (the GLAM sector).</p>
<p>The study concludes there is no consensus in the sector on what open access means, or should mean, and policies across the country vary widely.<br />
The UK’s institutions hold an immense amount of cultural heritage in trust for the public and in stewarding these collections, GLAMs can make use of new technologies and CC licenses and tools to open access to collections online to enable wider public participation. But several institutions still engage in the mistaken practice of claiming copyright over faithful digital reproductions of works.</p>
<p>While the situation is legally clear in the United States and settled at the EU level, where no new rights can arise in reproductions of works of visual art that are in the public domain, it has not been resolved in the UK.<br />
The new report recommends that no new rights should be able to arise in non-original reproduction media generated around public domain works in the UK.</p>
<blockquote><p>Brigitte Vézina, director of policy for open culture and GLAM with Creative Commons, said:</p>
<p>“GLAMs’ open sharing of public domain heritage content can unlock limitless creativity. When public domain works are widely shared by GLAMs, anyone can reuse them and build upon them to create something new and unexpected. Open access to cultural heritage holds the promise of many benefits for GLAMs themselves, including increased global visibility, new and greater audiences, and enhanced relevance in today’s digital society. This report shows that we must prevent historical works from being locked down and seize the opportunity to deliver open access so that we can advance universal access to and sharing of knowledge and culture, thus fostering creativity, innovation, and collaboration for a brighter future.”</p></blockquote>

content:
<p><span>Last Friday, United States (US) senators Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Patrick Leahy (D-VT) introduced the </span><a href="media/b76c3d9e.lip22167.pdf" data-original-source="https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/21454474/lip22167.pdf"><span>“Strengthening Measures to Advance Rights Technologies (SMART) Copyright Act of 2022.”</span></a></p>
<p><span>Their bill proposes to have the US Copyright Office mandate that all websites accepting user-uploaded material implement technologies to automatically filter that content. </span><a href="https://creativecommons.org/2017/02/22/copyright-filtering-mechanisms-dont-cant-respect-fair-use/"><span>We’ve</span></a> <a href="https://creativecommons.org/2011/11/11/urgent-stop-u-s-american-censorship-of-the-internet/"><span>long</span></a> <a href="https://creativecommons.org/2019/03/21/europeans-should-tell-parliament-to-vote-no-to-copyright-filters/"><span>believed</span></a><span> that these kinds of mandates are overbroad, speech-limiting, and bad for both creators and reusers. (We’re joined in this view by others such as </span><a href="https://www.techdirt.com/2022/03/21/senators-leahy-tillis-to-team-up-to-suggest-destroying-the-internet-for-hollywoods-sake/"><span>Techdirt</span></a><span>, </span><a href="https://publicknowledge.org/public-knowledge-opposes-bill-granting-copyright-office-authority-to-mandate-content-monitoring-technology/"><span>Public Knowledge</span></a><span>, and </span><a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/03/new-filter-mandate-bill-unmitigated-disaster"><span>EFF</span></a><span>, who have already stated their opposition.)</span></p>
<p><span>But one part of this attempt stands out to us: the </span><a href="https://www.tillis.senate.gov/services/files/BBDBFA87-17CA-4D15-AA0F-9B54BFEEA31D"><span>list of “myths”</span></a><span> Sen. Tillis released to accompany the bill. In particular, Tillis lists the concern that it is a “filtering mandate that will chill free speech and harm users” as a myth </span><span>instead of a true danger</span><span> to free expression–and he cites the existence of CC’s metadata as support for his position. </span></p>
<p><span>Creative Commons is </span><a href="https://creativecommons.org/2017/02/22/copyright-filtering-mechanisms-dont-cant-respect-fair-use/"><span>strongly opposed to mandatory content filtering measures</span></a><span>. And we particularly object to having our work and our name used to imply support for a measure that undermines free expression which CC seeks to protect.</span></p>
<p><span>CC licensing is designed to </span><a href="https://creativecommons.org/about/"><span>let creators choose to share their work</span></a><span> beyond what copyright allows by default–to grant more permissions, not impose more restrictions. And while our license metadata does let reusers know critical information about licensed rights, this metadata exists to convey important information about licensed works, not to restrict their use. Critically, CC licenses were never designed or intended to override the limitations and exceptions to copyright that allow for free expression. </span></p>
<p><span>We believe in giving creators choices about how to share their work, and the importance of </span><a href="https://creativecommons.org/license-enforcement/"><span>respecting those choices</span></a><span>. But those rights to choose extend only as far as copyright does. Limitations and exceptions are a crucial feature of a copyright system that truly serves the public, and filter mandates fail to respect them. Because of this, licensing metadata should not be used as a mandatory upload filter–and especially not CC license data. We do not support or endorse the measures in this bill, and we object to having our name used to imply otherwise.</span></p>

content:
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">CC welcomes the adoption of this comprehensive report by the AIDA special committee with strong, cross-party support. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On Tuesday, the European Parliament’s (EU) Special Committee on</span><a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/committees/en/aida/home/highlights"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Artificial Intelligence in a Digital Age (AIDA) </span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">adopted its final recommendations for a </span><a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20220318IPR25801/artificial-intelligence-the-eu-needs-to-act-as-a-global-standard-setter"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Roadmap,</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> laying the groundwork through 2030.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This Roadmap concludes that artificial intelligence (AI) has enormous technological potential and should be used to benefit humans. Creative Commons commends the EP on its thorough, preparatory work undertaken over the past 18 months by the AIDA special committee and which culminated in this detailed and thoughtful report.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">AI already plays a big part in our lives and as technological innovation continues to develop at pace, the importance of AI is only likely to increase.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">MEPs identified policy options that could unlock AI’s potential in health, the environment, and climate change, to help combat pandemics and global hunger, and enhance people’s quality of life through personalized medicine.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">AI, if combined with the necessary support infrastructure, education, and training could increase capital and labor productivity, innovation, sustainable growth, and job creation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">CC recognizes that </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">developments in AI present a host of opportunities to address global challenges through better sharing in the digital world. While these opportunities are likely to stimulate innovation and accelerate digital transformation, they also raise questions in copyright, especially regarding the use of data to train AI and the copyright treatment of AI-generated outputs.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the Roadmap, paragraph 116 mentions a need to </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“clarify whether AI will be able to hold intellectual property rights in itself.”</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> CC believes that there should be no copyright on AI-generated content in the absence of human creative choices.  AI systems are not authors, cannot have human rights, and cannot be held liable for their actions as the law currently stands, so AI should not be able to hold copyright in itself. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">AI-training uses of creative content should not be considered infringing. They should not implicate an exercise of a copyright exclusive right, but if so, they should be considered fair use or allowed under an exception. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Beyond copyright, CC is aware that several issues affecting better sharing and related to ethics, privacy and data protection need to be better understood to bring clarity to the rapidly evolving role that AI is playing in society and to ensure sharing ultimately benefits the public. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">CC will continue to holistically explore issues at the intersection of AI and copyright to support better sharing of copyright content in the public interest.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Once adopted by the plenary in May, we hope it will serve as a solid basis for ensuring the EU’s nascent legislative framework (</span><a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pdf-viewer/oemmndcbldboiebfnladdacbdfmadadm?hl=en"><span style="font-weight: 400;">AI Act</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">) provides a robust regulatory regime that supports better sharing.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">We look forward to continuing to work with EU legislators and policymakers over the coming months to create a framework for AI that fosters creativity and innovation and upholds the public interest, underpinned by the EU’s values and principles of freedom of speech, non-discrimination and the rule of law’.</span></p>

content:
<p>Creative Commons (CC) applauds the landmark agreement reached late last week by EU legislators on the Digital Markets Act. Given the increasingly prominent role large ‘gatekeepers’ play in the daily lives of citizens and companies, CC believes it is important that a robust legislative and regulatory framework is in place to ensure a fair and competitive EU single digital market can flourish.</p>
<p>Reflecting on the trilogue deal, CC CEO Catherine Stihler stated,</p>
<blockquote><p>“I am pleased to see the EU’s political leadership stepping up to some of the many challenges digitalization brings. Whilst acknowledging the many benefits for consumers and end-users of digital products and services, it is only right that legislators seek to ensure the right balance between enabling citizens and businesses to reap the benefits of technological innovation while also serving to protect from manifest unfair competitive advantages enjoyed by a small number of global players.”</p></blockquote>
<p>CC particularly welcomes the focus in the agreement on interoperability – an essential feature to mitigate the barriers to sharing, enabling the free flow of information and helping advance innovation and access to knowledge. Keeping this element under regular review is also a sensible approach and will help to ensure that as markets evolve, the principle of the widest possible access and greatest sharing possibilities of information online is maintained for all.</p>
<p>CC was also pleased to see EU legislators were not persuaded by last-minute lobby attempts by press publishers to unpick some of the carefully crafted compromises reached in previous EU legislation.</p>
<blockquote><p>Stihler stated, “I applaud the fact that the final text ensures the fairness obligation refers to &#8216;conditions of access&#8217;, but that there are no further references to &#8216;remuneration&#8217; or &#8216;digital content.&#8217;”</p></blockquote>
<p>CC supports fair, transparent and healthy market competition that generates and supports digital environments conducive to creativity and cultural diversity. We strongly believe the DMA is a step in the right direction in this respect and will help sharing of knowledge in the public interest in a way that protects people’s privacy rights and fundamental freedoms.</p>

<p>I’d like to share with our community a congratulation and a heartfelt farewell to staff in the Creative Commons legal team.</p>
<p>First, CC is excited to announce that longtime CC staffer, Kat Walsh, has been promoted to CC General Counsel. Kat was on the CC legal team from 2012-2015 during the drafting and initial publication process of version 4.0 of the license suite. She returned to CC in 2021 as Deputy General Counsel. Kat has a nearly 20-year history in the free and open culture movements, including many years on the boards of the Wikimedia Foundation and the Free Software Foundation, and has previously worked in library policy, technology startups, and online community management. She is an advocate for free access to knowledge and for CC licensing as part of the infrastructure for an internet that belongs to everyone. As General Counsel, she oversees the legal support for all aspects of CC&#8217;s activities, provides strategic input, leads the stewardship of CC’s legal tools, and advises the organization on new programmatic initiatives.</p>
<p>Next, we would like to congratulate Sarah Hinchliff Pearson as she leaves her CC General Counsel post for a new and exciting opportunity. CC has been lucky to have Sarah on staff for nearly 11 years, first as Senior Counsel, then as General Counsel. Her service to CC has been marked by calm and deeply wise judgment and commitment to CC over these many years, for which our gratitude is endless.</p>
<p>Sarah‘s tireless research and diligence on the 4.0 license suite, as well as the translations of all the licenses, has opened up more in the world than anyone could possibly measure. The CC Global Network, the greater open knowledge community, and beyond have benefited greatly from her work.</p>
<p>Throughout her time at CC, Sarah has been committed to growing as a teammate and leader and to fostering the growth of others. It is thus with sadness but also admiration that we see her depart CC for the next leg of her professional journey.</p>
<p>The team and I want to wish them both Kat and Sarah well in their new and exciting roles.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Over the past few months, members of the </span><a href="https://network.creativecommons.org/cc-copyright-platform-activity-fund/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Creative Commons (CC) Copyright Platform</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> along with CC friends from around the world have worked together to develop a policy paper addressing the key high-level policy issues affecting access and sharing of cultural heritage, notably by galleries, libraries, archives and museums (GLAMs). In this blog post, we provide some background on the paper and share a few highlights. </span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Policy at Creative Commons</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">CC strives to influence global policy to ensure better sharing of creative content and to </span><a href="https://creativecommons.org/about/program-areas/policy-advocacy-copyright-reform/reform/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">bring down the copyright barriers</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to universal access and reuse of knowledge and culture, including the cultural heritage held in GLAMs. As part of our </span><a href="https://creativecommons.org/2021/06/10/were-launching-the-cc-open-glam-program/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Open Culture Program</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, we work to ensure that the interests, concerns, and needs of the public and GLAMs in fulfilling their public-interest mission are balanced with those of rights holders in a fair manner. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We developed this paper to provide a global, condensed reference point for CC’s advocacy work in copyright reform in the cultural heritage context. We hope it will support members of the CC community in their own advocacy efforts, guide policymakers in their legislative processes, and inform anyone interested in the policy issues gravitating around access and reuse of culture and cultural heritage.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Paper highlights</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The paper offers an extensive overview of copyright challenges to the legitimate activities of GLAMs, notably preservation (largely through digitization) and sharing of digital and digitized content images and data for access, use and reuse. It also notes copyright’s chilling effects in the face of the GLAM sector’s general risk aversion. The paper then provides insights towards effective copyright reform addressing those challenges, with a focus on the opportunities related to the digital environment. The proposals for reform are geared towards legal certainty,  international harmonization, and as a means to facilitate cross-border transactions. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The paper recognizes  the pivotal roles of GLAMs in preserving and providing access to knowledge and culture to all members of society. It calls for  policies that support better sharing of cultural heritage in the public interest.</span></p>

From Broken Revenue Models<br />
to Embracing an &#8220;Open&#8221; Ethos</a></h3>
<p>A new global report on the state of journalism has been published by Creative Commons (CC) which identifies the growing challenges of combatting disinformation and the disconnect between the public and the media.</p>
<p>CC, in partnership with Google News Initiative, created CC’s Open Journalism webinar series and training, ‘Ground Truth in Open Internet.’ This training, and the subsequent report, Journalism Research: From Broken Revenue Models to Embracing an “Open” Ethos was created after surveying and conducting focus groups with over 500 journalists from 18 countries to better understand journalists’ needs during this turbulent time as digital news rapidly changes.</p>
<p>The survey and in-depth focus groups found that disruption to local news media revenue has damaged access to accurate information and made it more difficult to combat disinformation. Participants raised four challenges related to the broken revenue model: misinformation and disinformation, the proliferation of online abuse, loss of trust in journalism, and the increasing difficulty of making a living from journalism.</p>
<p>The loss of local newspapers in many places has led to a disconnection between the public and journalists which has partly contributed to the decline in trust. The proliferation of paid-for content has been necessary to maintain the industry but has also led to barriers being erected around news and information that could help to combat misinformation.</p>
<p>Many journalists feel “ground down” by the threats that are targeted at them and, in countries where violence can sometimes be a feature of political debate, some journalists spoke of their fear of being attacked and how that can have a chilling effect on public debates.</p>
<p>The report also found that editorial independence of journalists in the Global South is under threat, with an increasing reliance on advertising income from governments to fund their work.</p>
<p>Journalism is a form of public service, critical to all of us. Unfettered access to verified information is essential for a healthy information ecosystem – essential for democracy. Yet, journalists face threats to their physical safety and online wellbeing, broken revenue models, the closures of local news outlets, and declining trust among readers. Misinformation and disinformation campaigns in the media challenge collective notions of ground truth. They also challenge the bedrock and meaning of an open internet.</p>
<h4>Tackling the challenges facing journalism</h4>
<p>CC seeks to advance universal access to knowledge and culture, and foster creativity, innovation, and collaboration. The report shows that more thought needs to be given to how quality journalism can be funded – while keeping it accessible and open to people around the world. It is a critical time to support journalists in their efforts to provide verified information, investigate our shared challenges, and bring essential health, environmental, and political facts to everyone.</p>
<p>In surveys and focus groups, participants noted a need for high quality and open data, and for open, freely accessible content. Journalists also said there is a need for training on digital media literacy and community-driven open source platforms, as well as peer-to-peer collaborations with other journalists.</p>
<p>There is a significant appetite for more access to openly licensed content and public domain research, showing that there could be wide interest in Creative Commons licensed works to help tackle the challenges facing journalism.</p>
<h4>Key statistical findings from surveys:</h4>
<p>84% of respondents agreed that disinformation – deliberately misleading or biased information; manipulated narrative or facts; propaganda – is affecting quality and accessible journalism. (85% said the same of misinformation &#8211; false information that is spread, regardless of intent to mislead).<br />
74% of journalists said they have personally encountered barriers to providing quality and accessible journalism.<br />
56% said their audience has lost trust in all or most media due to misinformation/disinformation campaigns.<br />
62% said they would like to learn more about copyright, indicating there is an interest in Creative Commons licensed works.</p>
<blockquote><p>Jennryn Wetzler, Director of Learning and Training at Creative Commons, said, “Now is a critical time to support journalists in their efforts to provide verified information, investigate our shared challenges, and bring essential health, environmental, and political facts to everyone. While Creative Commons cannot address many of the challenges journalists face, we believe that principles and practices of an open internet can help journalists in some of their public interest work. From crowdsourcing information on open source platforms, to using CC licenses to increase access to a particular story, applying open internet practices can help free the flow of critical information to empower journalists and citizens around the world.”</p></blockquote>
<h4>Ground Truth in Open Internet Project Methodology</h4>
<p>The project consisted of an international survey of more than 500 journalists in seven countries and a series of five focus groups across 14 countries, which allowed us to explore some of the issues raised in more depth. Across both the poll and focus groups, we spoke to journalists operating in:</p>
<ul>
<li>Brazil</li>
<li>Canada</li>
<li>Czech Republic</li>
<li>Egypt</li>
<li>France</li>
<li>India</li>
<li>Indonesia</li>
<li>Kenya</li>
<li>Malaysia</li>
<li>Mexico</li>
<li>Netherlands</li>
<li>Nigeria</li>
<li>Slovenia</li>
<li>South Africa</li>
<li>Spain</li>
<li>Tanzania</li>
<li>United Kingdom</li>
<li>United States</li>
</ul>
<p>Following global research, Creative Commons’  ‘Ground Truth in Open Internet’ webinar series hosted discussions among journalists, activists and information sharing organizations. Speakers provided examples of open internet practices paired with successful alternative revenue models in global journalism. Creative Commons also offered a half-day training providing:</p>
<ul>
<li>Copyright basics for journalists</li>
<li>Tools for open access research</li>
<li>Access to usable photo and media archives</li>
<li>How to best use open licensed media</li>
</ul>
<h4>Open content in journalism</h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">CC supports independent news and we know our licenses play an impactful role in sharing it. During the series, speakers highlighted alternative revenue models and how CC licenses can be used to further the spread of quality information. </span></p>
<blockquote><p><a href="https://theconversation.com/profiles/joel-abrams-211931"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Joel Abrams</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of </span><a href="https://theconversation.com/us"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Conversation U.S. </span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">noted: “Because of the CC licenses on our articles, 60% of authors get contacted by other media agencies [for additional stories]&#8230;Forty to 50% of our traffic is through republication. So by the Creative Commons [licenses] we are doubling our outreach.”</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Among organizations providing open content in journalism, which the report highlights is </span><a href="https://meduza.io/en"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Meduza</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, the largest independent news site in Russia. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We laud Meduza for its powerful uses of CC licensed content in particular.  After </span><a href="https://creativecommons.org/2019/11/05/news-used-cc-by-to-help-journalist/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">CC licensing over 100 investigative journalism articles in a successful campaign to free journalist Ivan Golunov</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in 2019, </span><a href="https://meduza.io/en/feature/2022/03/08/meduza-is-granting-open-access-to-all-content-about-the-war-in-ukraine-under-a-creative-commons-license"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Medusa is now CC licensing all coverage around the war in Ukraine to combat censorship and misinformation</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">CC supports all independent journalists working to provide open, fair coverage of the war. Our licenses and legal tools are at their disposal.  </span></p>
<h4> Conclusion</h4>
<p>Journalism as we know it faces existential new challenges. Increasingly, journalists face work-halting financial and ethical challenges, as well as threats to their physical and digital safety, when sharing information online. Misinformation and disinformation campaigns in the media challenge collective notions of ground truth. They challenge the bedrock and meaning of the open internet and of the principles on which free and democratic societies are built.</p>
<p>On the other hand, journalism also faces newfound opportunities, as the tectonic plates of power shift in our shared digital landscape. We witness the rising role of nonprofit, independent, community-based media sources, filling gaps where traditional media organizations have shuttered; the rising power of crowdsourcing information and fact checking, and a powerful new role an open internet can play in sustaining the fundamental right to access to information and better knowledge sharing.</p>
<p>While there is no “silver bullet” or simple solution to the interrelated challenges, alternative revenue models paired with open sharing of content, transparent, participatory processes and other open practices begin to address some of the interrelated challenges journalists face. CC supports independent journalists and we know our licenses can play an impactful role in their better knowledge sharing practices.</p>

<p><strong>Creative Commons’ Open Culture <a href="https://creativecommons.org/2022/02/14/cc-open-culture-remix-art-contest-2022-ccsharesculture/">Remix Art Contest</a> #CCSharesCulture is open until 30 April 2022. So there’s still plenty of time to <a href="https://twitter.com/creativecommons/status/1507020313346777094?s=20&amp;t=Q0yMj-aNj2XE0G6d7QbQ7w">remix existing art</a> and turn it into something fresh and exciting under the theme “Love Culture? Share Culture!”</strong></p>
<p><strong>In the run up to the submission deadline, we are introducing our panel of experts, who will judge the entries based on their conformity with the theme, expression of the theme, originality, creativity, quality, artistic expression, personal expression, visual appeal, and overall impact. Get to know one of our six judges, <a href="https://karendarricades.com/KarenDarricades.com/ABOUT.html">Karen Darricades</a>, in this Q&amp;A blog post. </strong></p>
<hr />
<p><strong>Who are you?</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I am a multidisciplinary artist, media educator, and the arts and culture lead at Creative Commons Canada. I co-host live events featuring artists using CC-licensed works and open software called Watch Me Work: a look behind the screen with digital artists and creators. Watch Me Work will be live again in May with new episodes. Mostly, I live to support young creatives access the materials they need to create works of collage, photography and new media of all kinds. When not running workshops, I’m making digital things jump off screens and into the world using augmented reality.</span></p>
<p><strong>What does &#8220;better sharing&#8221; of culture mean to you? </strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Better sharing to me means building a culture where creatives are free to borrow and build on meaning, while having a clear understanding of where those works came from and how those who created them want to be recognized for their contributions. A culture of sharing at its best recognizes the labor that went into the initial artistic process, but is free to create something new with it.</span></p>
<p><strong>How can open access to cultural heritage stimulate creativity?</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">All art is art criticism, a reflection of and addition to the ideas and representations that came before, and implies an understanding that once we create something, it takes on a life of its own. That’s how cultural heritage remains relevant, vibrant and iterative parts of the human experience.</span></p>
<p><strong>What advice would you give to folks who are in two minds about entering CC’s Open Culture Remix Art Contest?</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Please, don’t hesitate! Remixing is often messy, undecided and unfinished, please share your musings with us.</span></p>
<p><strong>What sparked your passion for &#8220;open&#8221; culture?</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The need to make something from something due to an inability to make something from nothing. I look at a blank page and see nothing. When I look at something, be it a famous work of art, flier stapled on a lamppost or a design element out of context, that’s when I get curious and motivated to make. I have always cut and pasted things of all kinds into new Frankenstein-like hybrids, and am so thankful to live in a time when more materials are at my fingertips than ever before, from peers to pros and historical works, all available to use or rework, it&#8217;s fantastic!</span></p>
<p><strong>What excites you about being a judge for CC’s Open Culture Remix Art Contest?</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Everything! So excited to see the things folks will submit and their interpretations of the call. I work with young people using collage concepts and remixing content in my workshops, and frankly, it never gets tiring.</span></p>

<hr />
<p><strong>Who are you? </strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I am an author and historian whose work examines the ways in which artists and their work have engaged with and impacted national histories. My books include the California Book Award-winning &#8220;Carleton Watkins: Making the West American&#8221; (2018, University of California Press), and &#8220;Emerson&#8217;s &#8216;Nature&#8217; and the Artists&#8221; (2021, Prestel). I am also the producer and host of The Modern Art Notes Podcast, the leading English-language audio program about art.</span></p>
<p><strong>What does &#8220;better sharing&#8221; of culture mean to you?</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Better sharing means using our shared cultural heritage to open up opportunities for new knowledge. In my case, that comes through research. The &#8220;better sharing&#8221; transforms, allows the locally held and narrowly seen to the global. I work on art; simply seeing art, even in JPEG form, is necessary for knowledge to be built from it.</span></p>
<p><strong>How can open access to cultural heritage stimulate creativity?</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I&#8217;m a creativity-skeptic — I believe less in magic light bulbs going off than I do in the results from research and study. But research and study is most possible when the most material is available most widely. </span></p>
<p><strong>What advice would you give to folks who are in two minds about entering CC’s Open Culture Remix Art Contest?</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Use it as an opportunity to stretch your eyes. Use it as an opportunity to access and look at material that isn&#8217;t usually within your orbit. </span></p>
<p><strong>What sparked your passion for &#8220;open&#8221; culture?</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I work on the space between art and national histories. The most common material for the consideration of such is books, and lots and lots and lots of books are available under open access guidelines. In the US especially, groups such as the Internet Archive, libraries and other repositories have done a good job making copyright-expired works available digitally to all. But in art and art history, the situation is much, much more hit-and-miss, especially outside the US. Many American leadership institutions have embraced open access, but many of our largest art museums are laggards. My work, especially my last book, has been enormously enabled by open content.</span></p>
<p><strong>What excites you about being a judge for CC’s Open Culture Remix Art Contest?</strong></p>

<hr />
<p><strong>Who are you? </strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I am a former board member of Wikimedia Israel, and a leader and active member of the Wiki-Woman local project. I have been volunteering for the VIPs Photography Project for Wikipedia for 6 years. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">I am social media savvy, love to read &amp; write, and I now work as a social media manager in the second largest health system in the world.</span></p>
<p><strong>What does &#8220;better sharing&#8221; of culture mean to you? </strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I believe that caring is sharing&#8230;wherever I go, I take photos and upload them. When I run into someone, the first thing I will do is to check if they have a picture in his Wikipedia article&#8230;and if not, I immediately take care of it!</span></p>
<p><strong>How can open access to cultural heritage stimulate creativity?</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It can help </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">people</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to better relate to their heritage and origins. Here in Israel, we have a lot of it.</span></p>
<p><strong>What advice would you give to folks who are in two minds about entering CC’s Open Culture Remix Art Contest?</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As someone said before: &#8220;Just do it!&#8221;&#8230;.</span></p>
<p><strong>What sparked your passion for &#8220;open&#8221; culture?</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">My knowledge is now accessible to others, an</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">d I am always happy to share!</span></p>
<p><strong>What excites you about being a judge for CC’s Open Culture Remix Art Contest?</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I’m excited to be a part of the team! To be a judge is a great honor. I did it before in a local form (here in Israel), but this is my first time in an international project. So happy to take part for the very first time!</span></p>

<hr />
<p><strong>Who are you?</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I am the cofounder and executive director of </span><a href="https://fineacts.co/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fine Acts</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, a global nonprofit creative studio for social impact. An activist with a background in investigative journalism, I explore human rights innovation at the intersections of activism, art, tech and science. I am also cofounder of TimeHeroes.org, the largest volunteer platform in Bulgaria. I have a BA in communication and MA in political science from Sofia University, along with executive education at Harvard University, Yale University, Oxford University, and NTU-Singapore. I am a TED Senior Fellow, a Fulbright Scholar, a WEF Young Global Leader, and a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.</span></p>
<p><strong>What does &#8220;better sharing&#8221; of culture mean to you?</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Better sharing&#8221; means better us. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><strong>How can open access to cultural heritage stimulate creativity?</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Removing barriers to cultural heritage and allowing people to remix content unlocks incredible creative potential – with the power to interpret the present in new, profound ways; to create fresh meaning and understanding; to build community and empathy.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><strong>What advice would you give to folks who are in two minds about entering CC’s Open Culture Remix Art Contest?</strong></p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"></span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Join! This contest is all about play – and what better is there? Being the author of the concept of &#8216;playtivism&#8217; – that refers to creating spaces for multidisciplinary play and experimentation in activism – I am a huge fan of play. Creative play sparks better ideas, it brings us joy, a much needed levity, as well as the feeling that ‘we got this’.<br />
</span></p>
<p><strong>What sparked your passion for &#8220;open&#8221; culture?</strong></p>
<p><b></b><span style="font-weight: 400;"></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">I believe that openness is the greatest impact amplifier. This is why tons of what we at Fine Acts produce is open-source, and free to use by others. </span></p>
<p><strong>What excites you about being a judge for CC’s Open Culture Remix Art Contest?</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The vastness of the potential, the shorelessness of what to expect. </span></p>

<p><strong>Creative Commons’ Open Culture <a href="https://creativecommons.org/2022/02/14/cc-open-culture-remix-art-contest-2022-ccsharesculture/">Remix Art Contest</a> #CCSharesCulture is open until 30 April 2022. So there’s still plenty of time to <a href="https://twitter.com/creativecommons/status/1507020313346777094?s=20&amp;t=Q0yMj-aNj2XE0G6d7QbQ7w">remix existing art</a> and turn it into something fresh and exciting under the theme “Love Culture? Share Culture!”</strong></p>
<p><strong>In the run up to the submission deadline, we are introducing our panel of experts, who will judge the entries based on their conformity with the theme, expression of the theme, originality, creativity, quality, artistic expression, personal expression, visual appeal, and overall impact.

<hr />
<p><strong>Who are you?</strong></p>
<p>I am a Portuguese creative mastermind (self-titled) who works as a visual artist, screenwriter, director, animator, art director and part-time visionary.</p>
<p><strong>What does &#8220;better sharing&#8221; of culture mean to you?</strong></p>
<p>I think it&#8217;s something that allows us to rethink history and, therefore, the present. And as a result of that process, a new culture is produced and shared. So, in a way, &#8220;Better Sharing&#8221; is a matter of cultural sustainability.</p>
<p><strong>How can open access to cultural heritage stimulate creativity?</strong></p>
<p>As a creator that works with collage, it allowed me to have a deeper contact with archives and new materials to work with. To see and think about new &#8220;old imagery&#8221; in a new perspective and context is one of my favorite creative tools.</p>
<p><strong>What advice would you give to folks who are in two minds about entering CC’s Open Culture Remix Art Contest?</strong><br />
Do it now, regret it later.</p>
<p><strong>What sparked your passion for &#8220;open&#8221; culture?</strong><br />
It was the possibility to get past the basic stock photo/footage approach that most creatives find themselves limited to. And thanks to that, to achieve better work without any kind of legal worries.</p>
<p><strong>What excites you about being a judge for CC’s Open Culture Remix Art Contest?</strong><br />
To be a part of this amazing movement, and to see first-hand what people do with the archives, of course.</p>

content:
<p>After several years of debate and intense, final negotiations lasting into the night, EU legislators reached a political agreement on the proposed Digital Services Act (DSA). DSA will regulate digital services that act as intermediaries – online platforms like social media and marketplaces – and their role of connecting consumers with goods, services, and content.</p>
<p>According to official press releases outlining the contours of the agreement, these services will have to take measures to protect their users from illegal content, goods and services. This includes transparent advertising and rules to mitigate disinformation. In short, what is illegal offline is also illegal online &#8211; a principal Creative Commons (CC) fully endorses.</p>
<p>Creative Commons will carefully study the details of the agreement once published but by way of initial reaction, we applaud the EU in its desire to become a first-mover in seeking to create a regulatory and legislative framework that both enables technology firms to operate whilst at the same time protecting end-users&#8217; fundamental rights.</p>
<p>Speaking of the deal, CC’s CEO Catherine Stihler said:</p>
<blockquote><p>“I’d like to pay tribute to Commissioners Vestager and Breton, to the French Presidency and to my former colleague Christel Schaldemose for their hard work and dedication in delivering this landmark piece of legislation.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Creative Commons particularly welcomes elements of the proposal such as enhanced accountability, greater transparency and the grounding of the legislation in fundamental values and rights such as freedom of expression and data protection.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Ensuring citizens are protected from disinformation and manipulation when accessing online information, goods and services is of primordial importance if we are to ensure trust in the technologies and digital companies that play an ever-larger part in our lives” said Catherine.</p></blockquote>
<p>CC particularly welcomes the zero tolerance stance on cyber-violence and the prohibition on the use of sensitive, personal data in online advertising.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The DSA is an important and significant step towards combating some of the societal challenges linked to an increasingly digitalized world. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">CC will continue to monitor these developments and support public interest technologies whose values are citizen centered.</span></p>

content:
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) delivered its long-awaited and highly anticipated judgment in </span><a href="https://curia.europa.eu/juris/liste.jsf?language=en&amp;td=ALL&amp;num=C-401/19"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Case C-401/19</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. The case addresses the Polish challenge regarding compliance of Article 17 of the 2019 </span><a href="https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2019/790/oj"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Directive on copyright and related rights in the Digital Single Market 2019/790</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (CDSM) with fundamental rights. In short, the court ruled that Article 17 is valid and compatible with fundamental rights (see official </span><a href="media/0f209dac.cp220065en.pdf" data-original-source="https://curia.europa.eu/jcms/upload/docs/application/pdf/2022-04/cp220065en.pdf"><span style="font-weight: 400;">press release</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and </span><a href="https://curia.europa.eu/juris/document/document.jsf?docid=258261&amp;text=&amp;dir=&amp;doclang=FR&amp;part=1&amp;occ=first&amp;mode=DOC&amp;pageIndex=0&amp;cid=10728422"><span style="font-weight: 400;">judgment</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">). In this blog post, we offer an overview of Article 17, briefly analyze the CJEU judgment, and provide general comments. </span></p>
<h4><b>Background</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Article 17 is a controversial article, creating an intermediary liability framework for online content sharing service providers (OCSSPs). It imposes a monitoring obligation, which many have argued translates in practice as OCSSPs using “upload filters” to moderate content so as to avoid copyright infringement. The obligation for platforms to proactively filter and block user communication (under the risk of being directly liable for copyright infringement committed by their users) raises many concerns. Because copyright infringement determinations are very often sensitive to context, there is a significant risk of overblocking user content — an outcome with adverse effects on the exercise of freedom of expression, access to information and other fundamental rights of users. Upload filters are highly problematic as they generally have a chilling effect on platform users and profoundly undermine their fundamental freedom to share. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While June 2021 had marked the deadline to transpose Article 17 into national legislation, many Member States have yet to do so. Those that have, have taken divergent approaches, in part a result of the belated (June 2021) </span><a href="https://www.communia-association.org/2021/06/04/article-17-implementation-guidance-strong-user-rights-safeguards-with-a-giant-loophole/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">European Commission’s implementation guidance</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, based on a </span><a href="https://www.communia-association.org/2020/09/11/step-right-direction-response-targeted-consultation-article-17-guidance/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">stakeholder dialogue</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At stake in this CJEU case was whether Article 17 (or parts thereof) violate fundamental rights, in particular Article 11 of the </span><a href="https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:12012P/TXT&amp;from=EN"><span style="font-weight: 400;">EU Charter of Fundamental Rights</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and the principle of freedom of expression and information. Poland argued that it did violate fundamental rights. Communia’s </span><a href="https://www.communia-association.org/2020/11/12/cjeu-hearing-polish-challenge-article-17-not-even-supporters-provision-agree-work/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">report from the November 2020 hearing</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> provides a good overview of the main arguments. In brief, the issue arises because while Article 17 provides that this monitoring obligation should not result in the prevention of the availability of uploaded works that do not infringe copyright, there is a lack of clarity around such “user safeguards.” </span></p>
<h4><b>Judgment</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It comes as no surprise that the court followed the </span><a href="https://curia.europa.eu/juris/document/document.jsf?text=&amp;docid=244201&amp;pageIndex=0&amp;doclang=en&amp;mode=lst&amp;dir=&amp;occ=first&amp;part=1&amp;cid=2484665"><span style="font-weight: 400;">opinion</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of Henrik Saugmandsgaard Øe, appointed Advocate General (AG) in C-401/19 (see Communia’s </span><a href="https://www.communia-association.org/2021/07/19/a-look-at-the-ag-opinion-on-article-17/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">summary of the opinion</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">). In brief, AG Øe advised the CJEU to rule that Article 17 is compatible with the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. He argued Article 17 should not be annulled, to the extent that monitoring obligations of online content sharing service providers must be circumscribed by sufficient inherent safeguards so as to minimize the impact of the content filtering activities on users’ freedom of expression and information. In a nutshell, the judgment states that while filtering technologies do restrict fundamental freedoms, Article 17 includes sufficient and appropriate safeguards to protect users’ freedom of expression/information. Importantly, the Court clarified that uses allowed under exceptions and limitations are users’ “rights” (in line with the AG’s position), that any intervention by OCSSPs must be triggered by relevant and necessary information by rights holders, and that general monitoring is prohibited.</span></p>
<h4><b>Comment</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This judgment provides some important legal certainty in what remains a legally complex and confusing area of copyright law. It remains to be seen how Article 17 will be applied in practice in a way that truly upholds fundamental rights in all Member States. Even so, what is clear is that the ruling will have to be considered by Member States and integrated into their domestic transposition process as they continue to implement CDSM. It will also likely influence the course of the </span><a href="https://creativecommons.org/2022/04/25/creative-commons-welcomes-landmark-agreement-in-europe-on-digital-services-act/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Digital Services Act (DSA) implementation</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, where intellectual property rights enforcement will also need to be balanced with fundamental freedoms, </span><a href="https://ipkitten.blogspot.com/2022/04/article-17-of-dsm-directive-is-valid.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">as noted by the IPKat</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Creative Commons CEO Catherine Stihler said: “Creative Commons remains opposed to filtering mandates, which are </span><a href="https://creativecommons.org/2017/02/22/copyright-filtering-mechanisms-dont-cant-respect-fair-use/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">overbroad, speech-limiting, and bad for both creators and reusers</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. At CC, we will also continue to support better, open sharing of content on the internet and to uphold people’s freedom of expression and freedom to share.” </span></p></blockquote>

<p><em><b>The Declaration for the Future of the Internet envisions advancing the free flow of information and protecting human rights. Creative Commons is committed to better sharing for a brighter future. This includes an open, global, interoperable, reliable, and secure internet. </b></em></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">at a hybrid ministerial meeting organized by the White House’s National Security Council, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">over </span><a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/04/28/fact-sheet-united-states-and-60-global-partners-launch-declaration-for-the-future-of-the-internet/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">60 partners from around the world signed A Declaration for the Future of the Internet.</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Declaration was the result of the Summit for Democracy meetings that happened late last year. Organized by the U.S. government, it brought together leaders from government, civil society, and the private sector to outline and develop a new and better vision of the internet based on democratic principles. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Declaration comes on the heels of the European Union passing the Digital Services Act (DSA) which will regulate digital services that act as intermediaries – online platforms like social media and marketplaces – and their role of connecting consumers with goods, services, and content. And just last week, President Barack Obama addressed </span><a href="https://www.obama.org/democracy-challenges-2022/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Stanford University</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> about disinformation and the challenges to democracy in the digital realm. The conversations surrounding the future of the internet are making great strides towards action-oriented outcomes based on public interest values. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Declaration of the Future of the Internet</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> wants to reclaim ‘the promise of the internet’, in the face of the global opportunities and challenges presented by the 21st century. It also reaffirms and recommits its partners to a single global internet – one that is truly open and fosters competition, privacy, and respect for human rights. The Declaration’s principles include commitments to: </span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Protect human rights and fundamental freedoms of all people; </span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Promote a global Internet that advances the free flow of information; </span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Advance inclusive and affordable connectivity so that all people can benefit from the digital economy; </span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Promote trust in the global digital ecosystem, including through protection of privacy; and </span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Protect and strengthen the multistakeholder approach to governance that keeps the Internet running for the benefit of all.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Internet’s ability to democratize speech and access to knowledge, and to create communities that connect the world has led to positive sharing of information across the world. However, as the internet has matured as a medium, we have learned how its universality can be misused to manipulate and mislead; how its power to moderate and create communities can be consolidated and centralized to a damaging extent; and how its global nature can turn  the network itself into a weapon for malicious states and international lawlessness.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There has long been outcry, and work towards a better internet through public interest advocacy. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Twenty years ago, CC started with a simple, radical idea: to save the Internet from “failed sharing”. For decades, we have been dedicated to building a globally-produced and globally-accessible public commons of knowledge, culture, and innovation. We have also been convening conversations with the civil society community to promote the open, public interest and democratic values. In 2021, we launched our </span><a href="https://creativecommons.org/category/better-internet/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Better Internet series</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of articles highlighting some of these conversations held at the CC Global Summit about access to knowledge and information and internet architecture and open standards. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">CC applauds efforts to invigorate a public interest governance framework and an internet that promotes </span><strong><i>better sharing </i></strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">according to democratic values in the public interest. While the Declaration is a positive step in the right direction, it will take more than words to bring about real change. Policymakers from around the world need to uphold the spirit of the Declaration through measurable action that </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">fosters better sharing for a brighter future. </span></p>

I’m excited to announce that our next move in this direction is to welcome Nate Angell as our new Director of Communications and Community.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nate joins Creative Commons as a long-time community member, where he has worked to help educators and institutions adopt and adapt open educational resources (OER) and to spread the use of common tools and infrastructure that support open knowledge practices. You may already know Nate for his contribution of the “<a href="http://xolotl.org/open-licensing-over-tv-dinners-and-smoothies/">TV dinner vs smoothie</a>” analogy that tries to help people understand the difference between loose collections and deep remixes of openly-licensed works.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nate’s long experience cultivating open practices and tools with people working in schools, cultural institutions, libraries and archives, science and research, and journalism will enable him to help us all share the common purpose that unites all our wide-ranging collaborations and creations.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As he’s just getting started, I asked Nate to sum up how he’s feeling about his new role: </span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I’m so excited to join Creative Commons and be able to engage full time with this truly global community that I’ve long seen is working to make the world better. When I look at everything happening around the world right now — both the wonderful and the troubling — I know the best thing I can be doing is to help as many people as possible share their creativity and their knowledge. We couldn’t do that without the fundamental infrastructure that Creative Commons provides, and I’ll be doing my best to spread it far and wide.”</span></p></blockquote>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Author:</strong> Patricia Diaz-Rubio</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What is the current situation of Chilean public museums’ digital collections? What are the limits encountered by institutions regarding these collections? These are some of the questions this case study aims to answer. It presents the current status of open access policies and practices in Chilean GLAMs, and how they are used (or not) to promote and disseminate their contents. It also reveals a digital divide between the municipal museums and the museums belonging to the National Direction of Museums from the National Service of Cultural Heritage (SNPC) network, as the former have a minimal online presence and do not have the online environments to disseminate their heritage collections. <strong>Read the entire case study </strong></span><strong><a href="https://medium.com/creative-commons-we-like-to-share/the-state-of-digital-collections-within-chilean-public-museums-in-2021-be74a0c3d445">here</a>. </strong></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Author:</strong> Charles Ikem </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This case study transports us to the Badragy Slave Heritage Museum in Nigeria. It analyzes the barriers and challenges to digitizing heritage collections and creating digital spaces for disseminating knowledge about the rich histories and cultures of Africa, as well as the injustice and horror of the transatlantic slave trade. The obstacles are numerous, from copyright limitations to the problem of funding digitization and online access to team opposition based on the misconception of a supposed loss of footfall revenue by allowing users to access the collections online. However, as Charles argues in his case study, making these collections openly accessible could allow for sharing, re-sharing, and building new research on the colonial past and its teaching. <strong>Read the entire case study </strong></span><strong><a href="https://medium.com/creative-commons-we-like-to-share/inside-the-badagry-slave-heritage-museum-in-nigeria-a-case-study-6e2188a9e236">here</a>. </strong></p>
<h3><b>Better together! Małopolska Virtual Museums — a regional hub for digital heritage</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Author:</strong> Marta Malina Moraczewska</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This case study highlights the results of an innovative digitization project based on establishing a hub for best open GLAM practices in cooperation with 48 small and under-resourced institutions from Malopolska, which agreed to open licensing principles. Today, this project displays around 2600 objects, easily accessible on the MVM portal, Wikimedia Commons and Sketchfab, significantly increasing collections’ outreach up to 250 000 times per month. <strong>Read the entire case study </strong></span><strong><a href="https://medium.com/creative-commons-we-like-to-share/better-together-ad2219c4df58">here</a>. </strong></p>

<h3><b>Open GLAM Case Study on open access cultural heritage outlook in Karachi, Pakistan</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Authors:</strong> Prof. Muhammad Imtiaz Subhani and Amber Osman</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This case study investigates GLAM institutions in Karachi, Pakistan, and their alignment with the open GLAM movement. The study shows that although institutions have digitized collections, there is a general lack of awareness of open GLAM practices. Collections are not shared under open licenses and are not made freely available online. Some institutions use USB sticks to share collections, requiring users and researchers to travel physically to access the collections for their work. <strong>Read the entire case study </strong></span><strong><a href="https://medium.com/creative-commons-we-like-to-share/open-glam-case-study-on-open-access-cultural-heritage-outlook-in-pakistan-a-case-study-on-glams-489b5895a385">here</a>. </strong></p>

<h3><b>Case Study of Open Access practices: Limitations and Opportunities in Public Libraries in Nigeria</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Author:</strong> Isaac Oloruntimilehin</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This case study highlights current open access practices in public libraries, including access to cultural heritage materials, in various locations in Nigeria. It examines the opportunities and challenges that the library field encounters, such as a lack of awareness of best practices around open licensing and knowledge dissemination, and a lack of a supportive legal framework for cultural heritage and educational institutions. Furthermore, the case study underscores the digital divide around internet connectivity and power supply as a fundamental barrier to equitable access to educational and heritage collections. <strong>Read the entire case study </strong></span><strong><a href="https://medium.com/creative-commons-we-like-to-share/case-study-of-open-access-practices-limitations-and-opportunities-in-public-libraries-in-nigeria-a37a4aab6edb">here</a>.</strong></p>

<h3><b>Roadblocks to Openness and Digitisation; Campaigns to digitally preserve treasures in the tiny of the first printing press in Asia: Successes, part-successes and failures</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Author:</strong> Frederick Noronha</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This case study discusses the barriers to digitization and access to heritage content in the city of Goa, India. While the city has held a central place in disseminating knowledge by hosting the first Gutenberg press in Asia in 1556, today many heritage collections lie behind institutions’ physical and digital doors. However, some institutions are digitizing despite a global lack of consolidated open GLAM policy and suffer from a lack of financial and technical means. <strong>Read the entire case study </strong></span><strong><a href="https://medium.com/creative-commons-we-like-to-share/roadblocks-to-openness-and-digitisation-campaigns-to-digitally-preserve-treasures-in-the-tiny-home-5c11402c153b">here</a>. </strong></p>
<hr />
<p>While these case studies were developed in a variety of contexts, touch on many different topics, and cover a wide geographic span, they all highlight the crucial importance of preserving and openly sharing cultural heritage collections, and information and stories about them, for current and future generations.</p>
<p>They also show common threads in terms of challenges and barriers preventing or limiting GLAMs from providing open access to their cultural heritage collections. These include a lack of financial resources, lack of copyright and open GLAM expertise, Internet connectivity issues, as well as absent or deficient exceptions and limitations to copyright. This points to the needs of institutions for better support and infrastructure to achieve their public interest missions in a global digital environment.</p>
<p><span>We hope these case studies will feed into the global conversation around open GLAM and </span><a href="https://creativecommons.org/about/program-areas/arts-culture/"><span>open culture</span></a>,<span> and that they will provide some insights to guide the development of avenues of engagement for low-capacity or non-Western institutions, or those representing marginalized or underrepresented communities all over the world. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode, we sat down with programmer, musician, and copyright attorney, </span><a href="https://twitter.com/damienriehl"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Damien Riehl</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and fellow musician and programmer, Noah Rubin—the creators of the </span><a href="http://allthemusic.info/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">All The Music</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> project. Frustrated by accidental copyright infringement lawsuits stifling artists creativity, the dynamic duo teamed up to create an algorithm that would generate and save every possible melody, in order to claim the copyright, and then release it again to the public domain under CC0, which means they have “no rights reserved.” We dive into why they decided to take on this audacious project, how they did it, and how they are trying to help other musicians.</span></p>

Previously, </span><a href="https://creativecommons.org/2021/10/06/creative-commons-response-to-wikimedia-foundations-wipo-observer-application-being-blocked/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">China rejected the Wikimedia Foundation&#8217;s application for observer status </span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">to this UN agency.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The WIPO SCCR is a major normative forum, shaping laws and policies that influence access to and sharing of knowledge, and observer status is a prerequisite for participating in such discussions. Creative Commons (CC) condemns the rejection of the applications of the six Wikimedia chapters. This decision could set a worrying precedent, as it opposes established practices and criteria for the admission of observers to the WIPO. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">China opposed the applications, suggesting that the six Wikimedia chapters are subsidiaries of the Wikimedia Foundation, whose projects violate the &#8220;One China&#8221; policy, due to the existence and activities of the Wikimedia Taiwan chapter. Bolivia, Iran, Nicaragua, Russia and Venezuela implicitly supported China’s position. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Group B, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland and the United States urged the Committee to abide by the principles of transparency and inclusiveness and grant observer status to the chapters, as they fulfilled all relevant criteria. They further stressed that these civil society organizations would enrich the debate at the Committee, as they have done on national legislative procedures. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now is not the time for gatekeeping. We must welcome a diversity of voices and promote global cooperation to meet the intellectual property challenges facing the world, and achieve better sharing that serves the public interest and creates a world where everyone has access to culture, science, and knowledge.</span></p>

<h3><b>Wikimedia chapters denied accreditation</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On May 9, Wikimedia chapters of </span><a href="https://www.wikimedia.fr/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">France</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, </span><a href="https://www.wikimedia.de/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Germany</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, </span><a href="https://www.wikimedia.it/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Italy</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, </span><a href="https://mx.wikimedia.org/wiki/P%C3%A1gina_principal"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mexico</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, </span><a href="https://wikimedia.se/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sweden</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and </span><a href="https://wikimedia.ch/en/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Switzerland</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> were denied accreditation as official observers to the WIPO SCCR. Previously, </span><a href="https://creativecommons.org/2021/10/06/creative-commons-response-to-wikimedia-foundations-wipo-observer-application-being-blocked/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">China had rejected the Wikimedia Foundation’s application for observer status</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. CC condemns this decision, as detailed in </span><a href="https://creativecommons.org/2022/05/10/creative-commons-condemns-rejection-of-wikimedia-chapters-as-observers-at-wipo-sccr/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">our blog post</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<h3><b>CC’s general policy agenda at WIPO</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As part of its policy agenda, CC aims to drive copyright reform towards better sharing of copyright content in the public interest and in tune with the sharing possibilities unlocked in the digital environment. We promote </span><a href="https://creativecommons.org/about/program-areas/arts-culture/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">open culture</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, a positive, global policy framework that fosters the public-interest mission of cultural institutions. Last month, we </span><a href="https://creativecommons.org/2022/04/04/cc-publishes-policy-paper-titled-towards-better-sharing-of-cultural-heritage-an-agenda-for-copyright-reform/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">published a policy paper</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that details our views on copyright reform, and held a </span><a href="https://creativecommons.org/2022/04/20/towards-better-sharing-of-cultural-heritage-workshop-help-us-develop-a-cc-open-culture-guide-for-policymakers/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">workshop</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> last week to start the process to consolidate those views into a practical guide for policymakers. Stay tuned for next steps!</span></p>
<h3><b>Exceptions and limitations</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Open culture is conditioned upon strong, clear, and effective limitations and exceptions; they are the </span><a href="https://creativecommons.org/2020/05/18/copyright-law-must-enable-museums-to-fulfill-their-mission/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">pillars on which cultural heritage institutions can rest to fulfill their mission</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Global challenges such as </span><a href="https://creativecommons.org/2020/04/26/cc-licenses-tools-share-and-preserve-cultural-heritage-in-the-face-of-climate-change/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">climate change</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and the COVID-19 pandemic are causing unprecedented hardship to cultural institutions and the communities they serve. These challenges magnify the vital importance of limitations and exceptions to facilitate cultural heritage institutions’ digital presence. CC delivered a </span><a href="media/a0ac997c.Creative_Commons_statement_WIPO_SCCR_42.pdf" data-original-source="https://wiki.creativecommons.org/images/0/04/Creative_Commons_statement_WIPO_SCCR_42.pdf"><span style="font-weight: 400;">statement</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> calling on WIPO member states to endorse the Proposal by the African Group (SCCR/42/4), which we support, as it is geared towards concrete and meaningful solutions to ensure there are effective and consistent exceptions and limitations to support institutions and their millions of users worldwide.</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<h3><b>Broadcasting </b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Regarding the discussions on a draft broadcasting treaty, CC remains firmly opposed to any new right for broadcasters. As we stated in the past, additional rights would add a layer of protection atop the underlying copyright in the works being broadcast. This new set of rights would permit </span><a href="https://creativecommons.org/2012/11/14/wipos-broadcasting-treaty-still-harmful-still-unnecessary/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">broadcasters to restrict access to works already licensed under a Creative Commons license or in the public domain</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and would unnecessarily complicate the rights-negotiation process that Creative Commons has attempted to simplify. For Creative Commons, the exceptions and limitations proposed in the draft treaty are insufficient to address uses for purposes of education, research and preservation of cultural heritage. Furthermore, regarding the use of digital rights management (DRM) and technological protection measures (TPMs) to enforce such rights, CC finds these </span><a href="https://creativecommons.org/2020/12/04/were-against-digital-rights-management-heres-why/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">antithetical to the “open” ethos</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and at odds with the values of better sharing that we support.</span></p>
<h3><b>Looking ahead </b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Although we are disappointed that the African Group proposal was not supported in its entirety, we welcome the Committee’s commitment to continue to discuss a revised proposal at the next session, SCCR/43. We also welcome the meeting’s conclusions to (1) invite experts to give presentations on specific cross-borders problems in the online and cross-border environment, including on education and research; (2) for the Secretariat to develop, in consultations with experts and stakeholders from beneficiary communities and right holders, toolkits on technical assistance to support education, research and the preservation of cultural heritage.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We look forward to Member States taking active steps to build on this momentum and accelerate the work for a fairer and more balanced copyright system that supports better sharing in the public interest.</span></p>

<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Background to the workshop</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At the start of April 2022, Creative Commons released a policy paper called “</span><a href="https://creativecommons.org/2022/04/04/cc-publishes-policy-paper-titled-towards-better-sharing-of-cultural-heritage-an-agenda-for-copyright-reform/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Towards Better Sharing of Cultural Heritage — An Agenda for Copyright Reform</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">” developed by members of the </span><a href="https://network.creativecommons.org/cc-copyright-platform-activity-fund/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Creative Commons (CC) Copyright Platform</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and CC friends from around the world, which addresses the key high-level policy issues affecting access and sharing of cultural heritage, notably by galleries, libraries, archives and museums (GLAMs).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This paper calls for policies that support better sharing of cultural heritage in the public interest. And that&#8217;s exactly what we are planning to do. We are developing our first ever CC Open Culture Guide for Policymakers to address the copyright barriers to universal access and reuse of knowledge and culture faced by GLAMs. To initiate this process, we held an interactive virtual workshop for policy experts and open culture enthusiasts to explore key policy issues and gather insights into how to effectively engage policy makers in our work. </span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Workshop Recap</span></h3>

<p><span>CC hosted a workshop on 10 May 2022, &#8220;Towards Better Sharing of Cultural Heritage,&#8221; which sought to bring together folks from the worlds of open culture and policy. The workshop started with a welcome address from </span><a href="https://creativecommons.org/author/catherine/"><span>Creative Commons CEO Catherine Stihler</span></a><span>, followed by a brief overview of the main policy issues affecting better sharing of cultural heritage.</span></p>
<p>Our four panelists took to the stage to share their insights into ways to develop impactful and effective guidance to reshape policy. We were joined by:</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After hearing from our panel of policy experts, we moved to the interactive part of the workshop. Attendees were divided into four breakout groups to co-create an initial roadmap for developing a guide for policymakers to support the public interest goals and mission of global cultural heritage institutions and their users. </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Please note that recordings are not available for the breakout sessions. </span></i></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Our four breakout sessions were:</span></p>
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Open Culture in an Ideal World</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: Needs, goals and aspirations of the open culture movement | Led by </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Camille Francoise</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Open Culture in our Current World</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: Problems, hurdles and challenges | Led by Shanna Hollich</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Bridging the Gap between Current and Ideal</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: Exploring solutions: exceptions and limitations and safeguarding the public domain | Led by Maarten Zeinstra</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>New horizons</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: artificial intelligence, copyright and cultural heritage | Led by Emine Ozge Yildirim </span></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
The event probed several innovative and inspiring strategies for CC advocates to convey complex policy messages in simple and engaging ways. It also helped define our policy vision for better sharing of cultural heritage, according to the four horizons that shape it: (1) the challenging present; (2) the path forward; (3) the ideal future; and (4) the final frontier.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Alwaleed on his work:</strong> “&#8217;Open Culture Salon’ reimagines digital repositories as a brick-and-mortar repository, in which openly licensed content comes alive and interacts with one another. The building brings together a collection from various sources, such as paintings, photographs, and landscapes. The windows of the building represent web browser windows. This remixed work, which uses 25 different openly licensed works, is inspired by 1980’s children’s puzzle books, as well as Dadaism and Surrealism &#8211; depicting perhaps a digital repository librarian&#8217;s dream.”</span></p>

Because you have to ask yourself:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Where do those flowers come from?</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Is she dressed like this?</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Does she not have a body?</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Or is her clothes fused with the background?</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Is this work a second version of Leonardo da Vinci that has not been shown to the public?</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I made this collage a day when I was a bit depressed. The darkness of the background of &#8220;The Lady and the Ermine&#8221; together with the black of &#8220;Still Life with Flowers and a Watch&#8221; gives me a somewhat dark but happy feeling. A light in the darkness.”</span></p>

And named the concept Eternal Recurrence. And Nostalgia is one of the triggers for every human being to remember the repetitions that have occurred in their lives, both in terms of economic, cultural, and environmental psychology.”</span></p>

The original one is interesting, but it was this ugly numerisation which inspired me, with all its defaults. I don’t read nor speak Italian, so I just look at the drawings as a strange comic book of science-fiction. It reminds me of some stories like the ones we could find on Metal Hurlant crossed with pulp magazine. And the one I saw was really weird. A man, that I used to call Frank, ended up trapped in a strange world, fighting against unusual things, geometrical forms, flying hands with swords, robot guys, flying heads, etc…”</span></p>

However, over the years, I’ve developed a deep sense of appreciation for the culture of the east. Even though there’s a stark difference in the culture of the two regions, it’s the human emotion which drives us all. Expression of this emotion through music, paintings, sculpture, dance etc. provide us a medium to tell our story. That’s the best part about all these mediums of expression. It unites us all for the love of sharing our stories with no barrier of language. On a deeper level, it is these stories which form the basis for human connection.”</span></p>

How I was going to dress her was going to depend on the historical context of whatever piece I eventually used, but the ultimate goal was to challenge the history of the male gaze in art…As a child myself who played with paper-dolls, the first thing I would do is dress them as I’d dress myself (or how I wish I could dress). In that case, you have the viewer projecting themselves onto the goddess and how that can be rich with meaning. Dressing up is fun! Society oppresses women by reducing them to their looks! It’s everything. I loved making it. Funnily enough, the clothes were inspired by <em>Sex and the City</em>.”</span></p>

Women enjoy the rights that years ago have not been in place, and generally, there is a constant positive dynamic in gaining rights for different groups of people. However, we witness the phenomenon when people abuse the law and transform it into a weapon for gaining credits. In 2022 Johnny Depp is becoming a symbol of this phenomenon.”</span></p>
