Re: [Wikimedia-l] Copyright enforcement?

Thanks. I've added entries for Google Knowledge Graph and various Google
derivative products, which have varying quality of attribution and license
information and license. None appear to be fully compliant.

Editors used to do plenty by hand, if you recall. The on-wiki list of
mirrors and forks had compliance info, and individuals would reach out and
ask for license changes or takedowns.

Since having a legal team I don't know how these have happened, or which
individuals have made such claims & requests.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Copyright enforcement?

2018-01-28 Thread Jonathan Cardy
I wouldn't express it quite so bluntly, but agreed at a time when editing seems 
to have stabilised again after the 2015/16 rally, shifting the Foundation to a 
strategy of promoting compliance with both BY and SA would address a lot of 
problems. It is probably demotivating for editors to see their work used 
without attribution, and whilst a link back to Wikipedia is not as going to be 
as good as an edit button, we are greatly limiting ourselves if we rely on 
people coming directly to our sites and treat every extract from our sites as 
CC0 or Fair Use.

A few legal letters and maybe a court case a year should be easily affordable 
for the WMF and an excellent investment.

Attribution is often considered impractical, but providing the source
date along with e.g. the article name can be used to derive the
attribution, so it should be required. It's not just a good idea to
require this information from content re-users like Amazon, Apple, and
Google, but doing so will help encourage those who find issues to
edit.

If the Foundation doesn't make attribution or at least article date a
requirement, then they are actively opposing editor recruitment.

I think you're bang on one of the main topics of the copyright reform
discussion currently happening in Europe - should people and companies
be allowed to link and/or display a small part of a copyrighted work?
I haven't followed the issue in the last few months, but the latest
proposals from the Commission basically meant no more links or
excerpts (experts: please bear this oversimplification, I know the
wording is not exactly this).

AFAIK our public policy team has the opposite position - that such
reuse should be permitted. Remember, we're also content consumers, not
just content producers, so such legislation would also hit us hard.

If you want to know more about these debates, a good place to start
would be the public policy portal [1]. Also check out the wiki page
[2] and the mailing list [3].

However due to the way their output is structured it falls under "you
can't copyright facts".

Hoi,
Yes, probably and in the process they do exactly what we aim to achieve;
share in the sum of all knowledge. What they do not do is claim copyright.
They are the number one referral site for our traffic.

You may be right in a narrow sense but it will ill serve us to do something
about it.
Thanks,
   GerardM

Both Google and Graphiq are using pretty much the entire Wikipedia corpus
for their results.

Well "fair use" applies, but if the amount of content used goes beyond fair
use than it needs to be indicated that the content is under an open license.

[Wikimedia-l] Copyright enforcement?

2017-06-05 Thread The Cunctator
I've been a bit out of the loop on this for a while, so please be kind to
the oldbie - what's current Wikimedia policy on adaptive reuse of Wikipedia
content into non-free publications?

E.g. Graphiq
https://www.graphiq.com/terms-and-conditions
http://colleges.startclass.com/l/1929/Harvard-University

and Google
https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/terms/
https://www.google.com/search?q=harvard+university

I recognize that Google gives Wikimedia a lot of money, even if the
foundation isn't very transparent about that, but I'd think that doesn't
free the company from following CC BY-SA.
