Protect them how? Is the goal allowing reuse of the presentation? Restricting reuse of the presentation? Something else? There's some “performance” language in the CC legal code (e.g. [1]), which seems like it should cover presentations. But the strictest CC license seems to be CC BY-ND [2], which still allows people to freely distribute copies [3], but not to distribute derivative works (although they can still create derivative works [4]). Because licensees are allowed to share partial copies of the work [3] and change the format [5], I'd guess CC BY-ND would still allow licensees to share photos of a presentation slide. But I'm not a lawyer, and there are a number of issues in play besides copyright (e.g. personality and moral rights [6,7,8]). > Do other scientific organisations have policies in this area? This would be good to know, since by the time an organization has a policy, a lawyer has likely been consulted ;).
