YouTube enables CC licensing, web-based remixing of CC licensed content
- wccrawford 15y agoI've seen a lot of desktop-based video editors that were a lot harder to use. Kudos to YouTube.
- Isamu 15y agoSupport for CC licensing is a very good move, their platform clearly benefits from remixing and they need to do what they can to make the legalities clear. I'd like to see more up-front support for CC licensing on all social media sites.
- farnsworth 15y agoI didn't know about the YouTube video editor, I've been messing around with building something similar, but much more primitive. Hate it when that happens...
- JoshTriplett 15y agoThey currently have support for CC-by, and they integrate attribution; here's hoping they also add support for CC-by-sa.
- zoowar 15y agoSupportng CC is awesome. However, content owners should have the right to negotiate license fees for commercial use by including NC in their license and/or requiring requiring remixed work to be shared by including SA in their license.
- nitrogen 15y agoMaybe they can come up with an algorithm for appropriately distributing AdSense revenues from commercial videos for those who opt-in with their otherwise -NC- works.
- ChuckFrank 15y agoThis is fantastic news. Absolutely fantastic. Congratulations to Google and YouTube for not only enabling CC licensing, but also to enabling the larger context and understanding of CC. I especially like the automatic attribution list that is generated. This may hopefully forecast a whole new way of making and remaking content world wide, from videos to music, to pictures, to stories. Congratulations again.
