What
Copyright feels complex and hard–but policy isn’t
that different from something most of us do regularly–software
requirements gathering. So let’s gather some requirements for the
Copyright Act review. What’s important to you? What would make your life
easier–or harder? Where are the pain points for you right now?
Let’s work together so that we can all write strong submissions that
will help MBIE understand what a fit-for-purpose copyright law looks
like in 2019. We’ll have drinks, nibbles, and a highly interactive
workshop–where we can help each other define what we want from
copyright law and we can all work together to develop effective
submissions.
We encourage you to read through the Issues Paper ahead of the workshop, but don’t worry if you haven’t! We will review the paper and collaborate to identify the most important areas for each of us across our various sectors.
About Tohatoha
Tohatoha is a non-profit organisation that helps people share their
copyright works for reuse by others. Sometimes creators and other
copyright holders want the public to be able to reuse their works but
are unable to allow reuse easily and legally given the works’ “All
Rights Reserved” copyright status. Creative Commons licences enable
copyright holders to allow reuse of their works by giving everyone a
range of permissions in advance. Using a clear and robust Creative
Commons licences, you can choose the kinds of permissions to grant over
your work. Individuals, institutions, artists, scientists and public
agencies around the world are now declaring “Some Rights Reserved” with
Creative Commons licences. People who use Creative Commons licences are
contributing to the Commons, that global pool of reusable works, and are
helping to create a culture of sharing, reuse and innovation.
