This page is a translated version of the page Reform of copyright and copyright-related protections and the translation is 41% complete.
Whither next?

There are several copyright and copyright-related protections which should be changed, or fully taken advantage from. Here's a probably incomplete list. In a second step, an attempt will be made to prioritise the issues. Further work can be done to include more objectives, order by importance (for us and/or everyone), order by activity on the topic by us and others, order by impact. Work on this page has been re-started after a mailing list discussion following a policy statement by Creative Commons, supporting a copyright reform.

Storm syniadau

Dyma restr o'r rhan fwyaf o bethau a grybwyllir ar wahanol dudalennau, sgyrsiau a rhestrau postio. Mae nifer o eitemau yn debyg iawn neu'n union yr un fath. Nid yw'r rhestr hon o reidrwydd yn adlewyrchu unrhyw flaenoriaethau, a'i phwrpas yw llunio pob mater a grybwyllwyd ar draws gwahanol sianelau cyfathrebu.

Crynodeb

This is an attempt to create a shorter, non-repetitive list of the above gathered points.

  • Shorten copyright terms (and prevent their expansion)
  • Global Freedom of Panorama
  • Free use of Orphan Works
  • Digitalisation of copyright records
  • Rule of shorter term
  • Raising threshold for required added creativity (incl. killing Sweat the brow)
  • Repeal EU Database Rights
  • Have government created works (incl. EU, EU Member States, US States, etc.) released into the public domain
  • Have publicly funded works released under free licenses
  • Standardised limitations and exceptions (incl. removing special extensions)
  • Software patents
  • Exceptions to DRM
  • Open Government Data (& FoI)
  • Public Sector Information
  • Collective Rights Management
  • Use of product packaging images
  • Copyright on money and stamps
  • Opt-in copyright system

Blaenoriaethu

The points should be prioritised along criteria like impact, urgency, feasibility, importance to community, positioning of other organisations, fit-to-strategy and falling within the scope of Wikimedia. All these criteria need to be better defined. A first and partial overview of the "importance to community" could be found in the results of the Policy Issues Survey 2013.
