Creative Commons comes to Malta

Posted by Daniel Stout on Wed 12 Apr 2006 at 10:03 AM

Lawrence Lessig mentioned this morning on his blog that Creative Commons licensing has launched in Malta. Creative Commons is a nonprofit organization that offers flexible copyright licenses for creative works. This blog, for example, is licensed under a CC by-nc-sa license. Creative Commons Worldwide has a page about the Malta licenses here. If you’re a Maltese content creator, you can add a Creative Commons license to your digital works via this link:

If you’re looking to learn a little bit about why the current copyright “war” is important and why it’s good to support organizations like Creative Commons, get the lowdown with Lessig’s 20-minute talk called Who Owns Culture? This is a great primer to the notion of copyright in the digital age. It’s very accessible, and in my opinion, it makes a lot of sense.
