Creative Commons Global Summit 2017 - Toronto, Canada: Sharing Norms that Go Beyond the License...

Sharing Norms that Go Beyond the Licenses and CC’s role, Starting with the 3D Design Community

Feedback form is now closed.

What would it look like for Creative Commons to shift its primary focus to the norms of sharing content online, rather than the precise legalities of sharing? To help us envision this strategy in practice, we will apply it in the area of 3D printing. We will look at the existing norms for sharing 3D designs, and then discuss how Creative Commons could help make the culture of sharing even more pronounced and productive in this domain. As part of the discussion, we will brainstorm specific things CC might to do and talk about the potential negative consequences, as we explore this new way of operating.
