Cultural-heritage
organisations that want to make their collections
publicly accessible must ask the copyright holders for
permission, unless a limitation on copyright is
applicable. However, these limitations on copyright
offer little room for such forms of re-use, while the
copyright holders of 'old' works are extremely difficult
to trace. A complication is that many cultural-heritage
institutions are copyright holders as well as (re-)users
of works in their collections. Research must be
conducted into other possible legal obstacles impeding
the use of Creative Commons-licences in this sector.
Guest
researcher Esther
Hoorn conducted research on how broadcasters,
archives, or museums can license their collections via
Creative Commons within the legal limits.
