'''"Some Rights Reserved": Building a Layer of Reasonable Copyright''' Too often the debate over creative control tends to the extremes. At one pole is a vision of total control--a world in which every last use of a work is regulated and in which "all rights reserved" (and then some) is the norm. At the other end is a vision of anarchy--a world in which creators enjoy a wide range of freedom but are left vulnerable to exploitation. Balance, compromise, and moderation--once the driving forces of a copyright system that valued innovation and protection equally--have become endangered species. Creative Commons is working to revive them. We use private rights to create public goods: creative works set free for certain uses. Like the free software and open-source movements, our ends are cooperative and community-minded, but our means are voluntary and libertarian. We work to offer creators a best-of-both-worlds way to protect their works while encouraging certain uses of them--to declare "some rights reserved." *[http://creativecommons.org/ creativecommons.org] **[http://search.creativecommons.org/ search Creative Commons] ]]] [http://www.wumingfoundation.com/english/biography.html Luthor Blisset] on Creative Commons and Copyleft ~~[http://www.wumingfoundation.com/suoni/abc-radio_interview.mp3 MP3]~~ : [http://www.wumingfoundation.com/italiano/outtakes/copyleft_explained.html print] ]]]
