Youtube introduces the Creative Commons on video, currently attributable with only one type of license. In this way it will be possible to regulate the paternity of the works inserted on Youtube, favoring the circulation of the images, without however incurring false attributions.
Youtube has recently introduced a noteworthy innovation: the license Creative Commons has made its appearance, thus allowing for easier but at the same time more regulated circulation of video posted.
At the moment only one type of has been inserted CC license, which establishes the authorship of a work; the innovation has already been applied to approximately 10 thousand videos, mostly from Al Jazeera, C-SPAN, Voice of America, PublicResource.org and similar sources.
What does all this mean in concrete terms?
With the introduction of the CC Anyone can use parts of other people's videos as long as they indicate the author's name precisely and clearly, thus establishing his ownership.
In practice the proposed license is the one CC BY 3.0 which allows you to “reproduce, distribute, communicate to the public, publicly display, represent, perform and recite this work; to modify this work; to use this work for commercial purposes”.
The author of the video will establish and then indicate – in Youtube Editor – how the attribution of the work itself should be carried out: it could be enough to simply indicate the name or perhaps a link will have to be inserted.
The introduction of the CC license on Youtube It makes you think about the fact that perhaps, as on the web, we are aiming for originality and giving importance to the original source, even with regards to videos.
