Hi there I`d like to share this great news: finally we have another broadcaster on board sharing its content under CC, "unfortunately" it is in Australia and not in the Arab world for the moment, but great news indeed!we should convince some public broadcasters in the Arab world to release their archives under CC if not PD..it`s common heritage and should be available for everybody to see it best dona
One for all those interested in use of CC licences by archives, broadcasters or news organisations. The ccAustralia team has just announced that the ABC (Australia's largest public broadcaster) has released a selection of historical television news segments under CC BY-SA for use on wikimedia: http://creativecommons.org.au/weblog/entry/3465 This is part of a broader 'open archives' project the ABC is running, releasing archival material of all sorts for re-use under CC licences: http://www.abc.net.au/archives/openarchives.htm The best bit is that these aren't obscure archival documents, but rather polished broadcast segments about some of the most significant events in Australian history. I particularly like this 1974 footage of Arthur C Clarke predicting the internet, with uncanny accuracy. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ABC_Clarke_predicts_internet_and_PC.ogv. My understanding is that this is one of the first times a major broadcaster has released completed news stories (as opposed to raw footage) under a CC licence. Though correct me if I'm wrong - and I'd love to hear the details.
