WHY I REPLACED MY CREATIVE COMMONS LICENSE WITH KONOMARK
http://mycarta.wordpress.com/2013/01/02/why-i-replaced-my-creative-commons-license-with-konomark/

I'm having trouble getting the Creative Commons License icon to show up on my blog, http://ebarryphoto.wordpress.com/.

I tried putting it in the text widget and it does not show up. Is this due to my theme, or am I missing something else?

Thanks!

I should have asked about "The Ethics of Blogging" instead. :'))

I am Dian Ara, a blogger from Indonesia. On my blog (dianaraquest.wordpress.com) I share book reviews, movie reviews, videogames reviews as well as personal journals. I am a noob about internet law, especially copyright law. Recently I stumbled upon Creative Commons. I was captivated by the idea of free sharing culture so I decided to put an Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-SA 3.0) license on my blog. It means (please CMIIW) everyone is allowed to share, to remix, and to use my blog posts for both personal and commercial, under 2 conditions: They have to attribute to me, and if they alter, transform, or build upon the posts, they must have the same license as mine.

This led to another striking question: What if those videogames screenshots, movie posters, book covers and trailers (YouTube videos) that I have been using for my reviews are all copyright infringement? They are not mine, and they are not licensed the same as my license, amirite? :|

I have been spending this week to browse through my older posts. Editing them one by one, deleting images and pictures I had taken from random search result on Google Images. I have replaced some with CC BY-SA 3.0-licensed pictures from Flickr. My effort is still halfway through, and I am concerned about these posts:
<h2>A Must Watch: Shirokuma Cafe</h2>
On that post I embedded some fan-made YouTube videos, with scenes home-recorded from the anime. Am I allowed to embed such non-official videos?
<h2>Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I</h2>
I used the movie poster as the post's image, but I never asked permission from Warner Bros. (the movie's publisher). Am I allowed to do so?
<h2>Co-Op Gaming Done Right, Resident Evil 5 Changed My Life</h2>
On this post I use screenshots taken directly from the game. They are not screenshots officially released by Capcom, and I definitely did not ask for their permission. Am I allowed to do so?

I googled about copyright law and fair use, but frankly, those legal wordings confused me. If you don't mind explaining this to me, thank you very much. And have a fun day. :)

Besides the ethical considerations (bandwidth theft, etc.), you're giving control over the content you display on your site to someone else. If their site goes down, your site is affected. Also, by way of example, there was a recent thread on the board where a hotlinked image a WP.com member had put in a widget was repurposed in a way he didn't expect. http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/unwanted-stop-sopa-banner-on-my-blog?replies=20

Just my inflated 2¢ worth

Thanks for the reply. No I am not using the code from Flickr directly, I'm using the WordPress editor to create those posts and then clicking the little image icon to add stuff (from the web if necessary).

I guess I was hoping for something a little more integrated, and that might work with other sites as well (Google Photos, SmugMug, etc).

Thx,

Ramon

I would like to use images from Flickr in my posts but be a good net citizen and obey the appropriate Creative Commons rules associated with the image. Is there a way to do this automatically on WordPress.com? For example, if I embed an image that points to Flickr, automatically note that attribution is required by the CC license and add that as a caption or hover text on the image.

Thanks,

Ramon

I have been thinking about imbedding them instead...not sure if it is worth the work though...

Does TT have this in her roundup?

Anyone have any idea how to revert the calender to just black and non-linking, outside of the dates on which I actually post content?

I've tried taking the widget off, and inserting a new one from the main widget selection, but to no avail. It also seems to not be a problem in the sidebar.

1) t would be nice to jot down a "More Permissions URL" for anybody who wished to obtain information about clearing rights that are not cleared by my license. I would imagine the easiest way to do this would be to use the same URL as I would type in for "Attribute Work To URL" - which is, simply, just my website.

An alternative that I use is a separate license page, which is linked from the main page.

2) Is it unwise to use the e-mail address that I used to register with WordPress.com? Or should I just create another e-mail address that is specific to the aforementioned inquiries? Or - is this just not the best thing to do at all?

I would never put a permanent email address on your website, it will get hit by more and more spam as time goes on. I use a temporary address from Gishpuppy that I change when i get to much spam. Another alternative is the contact form

3) I attempted to go over the whole "Google Apps" thing, but in light of my exhaustion and the ostensible complexity of the whole ordeal - not to mention the fact that I truly don't understand what I am to gain by the whole "e-mail and domain being together thing".

If you don't need or want it then don't do it! It is fairly complex, though the instructions are good. Personally I do have some @my-blog.org email addresses because I sometimes post to lists and people as the blog owner rather than using my personal email account.

1) The boilerplate example from WordPress, assuming that you want to prevent all use of your work by others, apart from legal fair use.

2) The creative commons license, which gives additional rights that you select, for example allowing non-commercial use if they credit your site.

Having both would be more than confusing, it would be contradictory. If you use the creative commons license you should use their wording and not the boilerplate text.

can anyone please explain to me briefly how creative common works and if I should have a license for my blog (http://expressjr.wordpress.com) and if there is another better alternative ?

I'll leave the other question regarding copyright to a more copyright-savvy volunteer.
