Accessing and Licensing Government Data under Open Access
Conditions, I. Buri,
Amsterdam, Institute for Information
Law/Creative Commons Nederland, 2012.
This study examines how to best ensure
the re-use of governmental data in Europe, with special
focus on the legal solutions available for managing IP
rights that may subsist in public sector databases. The
implementation of Directive 96/9/EC introduced a new,
sui generis database right aimed at protecting the
investments made by the producer of a non-original
database in the collection, verification or presentation
of the contents of a database. The Database Directive
seems not to exclude public sector databases from the
sui generis protection. The research therefore
analyses the interface between the Database Directive
and the Directive on the reuse of public sector
information (PSI), as well as the possible solutions for
maximizing the re-use of both protected and unprotected
public datasets. Among the solutions is the use of open
content licences. The study investigates when re-use
initiatives can take place with ‘no rights reserved’
conditions (and when, consequently, public bodies should
be encouraged to adopt these schemes), and which open
content licensing system is best suited to guarantee
unrestricted re-use of public sector databases. The
study concludes that the development of a strong and
effective international standardized open data licensing
system should be given priority to provide users of
public sector databases with the necessary legal
certainty and to stop the proliferation of national
(potentially incompatible) initiatives.

Creative Commons Licenses: What to Do with the Database
Right?,
L. Guibault,
Computers and Law Magazine, 'The
Future of Open', 2011-6.
Contrary to other
types of open content licenses, Creative Commons
licenses are intended to be translated and adapted
to the laws of a maximum of jurisdictions in the
world. Local or regional peculiarities of the
copyright regime can sometimes require an adaptation
to the licenses that would disrupt their worldwide
similarity. This article focuses on one of these
peculiarities: the European sui generis database
right. It describes how the database right was
excluded from the scope of the Creative Commons
licenses and discusses the possible consequences of
such an exclusion for the Creative Commons movement
and for the users of the licenses in Europe.

Creative Commons Licenses Legal Pitfalls:
Incompatibilities and Solutions, M. Dulong de Rosnay, september 2010.
Creative Commons
licenses have been designed to facilitate the use
and reuse of creative works by granting some
permissions in advance. However, the system is
complex with a multiplicity of licenses options,
formats and versions available, including
translations into different languages and adaptation
to specific legislations towards versions which are
declared compatible among each other after an
international porting process. It should be assessed
whether all ported licenses cover exactly the same
subject matter, rights and restrictions or whether
small language differences may have an impact on the
rights actually granted and legal security of
current users or the availability of works for
future generations to access and build upon.
Besides, other possible sources of legal uncertainty
and incompatibility, as well as their actual or
potential consequences, need to be evaluated, such
as the validity and enforceability of the licenses
across jurisdictions with different and possibly
inconsistent legislations, the variations between
the licenses summary and the licenses text written
in legal language, the interoperability with other
copyleft licenses. This study presents the different
licenses (chapter 2), identifies various possible
sources of legal incompatibility (chapter 3),
evaluates their actual impact (chapter 4) and
finally proposes options to mitigate risks and
improve compatibility, consistency, clarity and
legal security (chapter 5).

Creative Commons and Related Rights in Sound Recordings:
Are the Two Systems Compatible?
C.J.
Angelopoulos, december 2009.
Technically it is
entirely possible to attach a Creative Commons
license to a sound recording - but does the law
permit it? This study examines the rights of
performers and producers in the sound recordings
they create, the collective management systems in
place for the exploitation of those rights, and the
relevant terms of the Creative Commons licenses. On
this basis, it attempts to assess whether Creative
Commons licenses can be attached to sound
recordings, whether the use of such licenses can be
combined with the collective management of related
rights in sound recordings and, if so, under what
circumstances and conditions this can be achieved.

Creative
commons licensing for public sector information:
Opportunities and pitfalls,
M.M.M.
van Eechoud &
B.
van der Wal, Institute for
Information Law, 2007.
The Creative
Commons model seems an attractice instrument for
public sector bodies that seek to enhance
transparent access to their information, be it for
purposes of democratic accountability or re-use for
economic or other uses. This study examined that
hypothesis and highlights the major opportunities
and pitfalls of the Creative Commons model for
public sector information. It assesses where there
is a match between the creative commons model and
the principles of freedom of information law and the
Public Sector Information Directive (EC Directive
2003/98 on the re-use of public sector information)
as implemented in the new chapter V-A of the Dutch
Freedom of Information Act (Wet Openbaarheid van
Bestuur). The assessment was made not only at the
more principled, abstract level, but also at the
level of the individual licensing terms. It is
preceded by an analysis of government information as
subject of intellectual property rights, under the
Dutch Copyright Act and the Database Act.

Creative
Commons and Author's Rights: Les extrèmes se
touchent,
P.B.
Hugenholtz, lezing gegeven bij
Duke
Law School op 24 oktober 2005. De powerpoint presentie is
hier te vinden.
Conceived from
radically different visions of copyright,
American-bred Creative Commons and Old Europe-style
authors' rights (droit d'auteur) have more in common
than initially meets the eye. Focusing on the rights
and freedoms of creators, both systems recognize
certain inalienable moral rights, such as a right to
attribution and a right of integrity. Moreover, for
both systems to achieve their professed goals, it is
vital that copyright in works of authorship remain
with the actual creators, and not be transferred to
the media companies or collecting societies that
wish to exploit them. Therefore, certain statutory
limits to freedom of contract aimed at preventing
(overly) broad grants of rights are required. Strong
author-protective contract rules currently exist in
many traditional authors' rights countries, such as
France and Germany, and may serve as examples for
the United States.

Creative
Commons in Nederland: flexibel auteursrecht, N. Hendriks, AMI, 2006-1, p. 1-7.
Sinds 2004 zijn de
Nederlandse versies van de Creative
Commons-licenties beschikbaar. In dit artikel zal
een beeld worden geschetst van het ontstaan en de
onderliggende ideeën van Creative Commons. Verder
zal worden ingegaan op de doelgroep van Creative
Commons, het gebruik en de inhoud van de licenties
en de omzetting naar Nederlands recht.
