In an effort to free up the “content” layer, creativecommons.org went online in 2002, allowing individuals to attach “some rights reserved” licences to their work. This development was in response to changes in US copyright laws that the Creative Commons founders (including Lessig) argued hindered access to creative works. Since then, the Creative Commons Licenses have been ported to over fifty jurisdictions, including New Zealand. As in the US, copyright has become more restrictive in New Zealand. The introduction of the “Copyright (Infringing File Sharing) Amendment Act 2011” enables owners of copyrighted works to penalize individuals for violating their copyright through online file sharing without providing adequate protection from unfair prosecution. The Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), a trade agreement that New Zealand is negotiating with the US and nine other countries, could extend the length of copyright of creative work from the life of the author plus 50 years after his or her death, by a further 20 years. As Yochai Benkler notes (2006), formal institutions are working to extend the scope and reach of excusive rights over cultural resources, and the primary countervailing force against exclusivity is the cultural and social response represented by the nascent “free culture” movement and the growing individual practice of sharing work with others to create a domain of free resources for common use. In this paper, I discuss institutional efforts to strengthen copyright in New Zealand and discuss the use of Creative Commons licenses as an alternative.TRANSCRIPT

Copyright protections are limited for a period of time and restricted by a number of exceptions.
Life plus 50 years is typically the minimum for most countries and many signatories of the Berne Convention, excluding the regions or countries listed below, for example:. ■ Life plus 70 years for members states of the European Union ■ Life plus 70 years for the United States of America
!In New Zealand the copyright in sound recordings, films, broadcasts and cable programmes lasts for 50 years after they are released. The copyright in a typographical arrangement lasts 25 years. These durations are valid for every work which is originated in New Zealand. Others will be protected for the term for which it is granted protection in its country of origin.

Sonny Bono Copyright Extension Act !© Passed by US Congress in1998 !© Extended copyright protection from the lifetime of
the author plus 50 years, to the lifetime of the author plus 70 years (14-years in 1790), preventing any work from entering the public domain until 2019.
!© CC founders alarmed at the growing concentration in
media markets, implications for the developing internet, the future of freedom of information in a representative democracy.

© Michael Carroll: “[As] soon as you get a worldwide web where everyone can self-publish and you have a default position that everything is automatically under copyright [a legal standard adopted in the US in 1976], it’s a strict liability regime, which means you can violate copyright without any intention of doing so. Your copying puts you in violation of the law unless it’s a fair use, which is a fuzzy standard that is hard to apply”.
!© Lessig: “Fair use . . . simply means the right to hire a
lawyer to defend your right to create.”
© CC devised a novel strategy giving current copyright holders the option of making creative work available for copying and distribution by granting various exceptions to the rights they hold under copyright (requiring no legislation).
!!!!
© CC’s opposition to the intellectual property conception of copyright lies in the distinction between ‘rivalrous’ and ‘nonrivalrous’ resources. A rivalrous resource is a resource limited in relation to potential users.
!© “Creative Commons thought of itself as . . .
branding the public domain, especially on the internet” (interview with Hal Ableson, Board of Directors of Creative Commons).
!© In December 2002, the Creative Commons
website went online (http:// creativecommons.org).

!. . . [We] must first step back from copyright and reflect upon an idea about how culture develops that should be familiar to everyone. This idea I want to call “remixing.” We first imagine a creative work mixed together by someone; and then someone else remixes that creative work. !In this sense, culture is remix. Knowledge is remix. Politics is remix. We remix all the time. Lawrence Lessig: Creative Economies p. 35 https://www.yumpu.com/en/document/view/15761352/the-second-annual-distinguished-lecture-in-intellectual-property
The nature of artefacts !
In crossing the threshold from analog to digital, an artefact exchanges !a single, traceable past for unlimited possible futures, !solidity for malleability, !and financial value for social value.
