When Creative Commons (CC) was founded in 2001, the core Creative Commons licenses were drafted according to United States Copyright Law. Since their first introduction in December 2002, Creative Commons licenses have been enthusiastically adopted by many creators, authors, and other content producers – not only in the United States, but in many other jurisdictions as well. Global interest in the CC licenses prompted a discussion about the need for national versions of the CC licenses. To best address this need, the international license porting project (“Creative Commons International” – formerly known as “International Commons”) was launched in 2003. Creative Commons International works to port the core Creative Commons licenses to different copyright legislations around the world. The porting process includes both linguistically translating the licenses and legally adapting the licenses to a particular jurisdiction such that they are comprehensible in the local jurisdiction and legally enforceable but concurrently retain the same key elements. Since its inception, Creative Commons International has found many supporters all over the world. With Finland, Brazil, and Japan as the first completed jurisdiction projects, experts around the globe have followed their lead and joined the international collaboration with Creative Commons to adapt the licenses to their local copyright. This article aims to present an overview of the international porting process, explain and clarify the international license architecture, its legal and promotional aspects, as well as its most recent challenges.

Este estudio contiene un breve análisis de la compatibilidad de las licencias de Creative commons (CC), con la Decisión 351 de la Comunidad Andina de Naciones (CAN), que regula el tratamiento de los derechos de autor para los países miembros de la CAN. Una primera parte de este estudio está dedicada a los antecedentes y aspectos generales de las licencias CC, en ella son estudiadas las licencias GNU que las inspiran así como la filosofía que las orienta, una vez definidos sus antecedentes, paso a describir el contenido de las licencias en sus tres aspectos common deeds, legal code y digital code. La segunda parte comprende el estudio de compatibilidad realizado a partir de la definición de los conceptos básicos y de cada uno de los derechos reconocidos a los autores, desde la doctrina de la corriente latina y del copyright, identificando los elementos comunes y los diferenciadores para, paso seguido, revisar la consagración normativa de los mismos elementos y su tratamiento en las licencias objeto de esta investigación.

This article describes the design, implementation, and experiences with AcMus, an open and integrated software platform for room acoustics research, which comprises tools for measurement, analysis, and simulation of rooms for music listening and production. Through use of affordable hardware, such as laptops, consumer audio interfaces and microphones, the software allows evaluation of relevant acoustical parameters with stable and consistent results, thus providing valuable information in the diagnosis of acoustical problems, as well as the possibility of simulating modifications in the room through analytical models. The system is open-source and based on a flexible and extensible Java plug-in framework, allowing for cross-platform portability, accessibility and experimentation, thus fostering collaboration of users, developers and researchers in the field of room acoustics.

In this brief an explanation is given why Exceptions in copyright legislation are of great importance to the free flow of knowledge, essential to education and research in the European Union. At present the Freedom of access to knowledge for EU citizens is trapped in a complex web of national laws and local licensing arrangements. The current EU copyright law does not enable the vision of either a "Europe of knowledge" in the Bologna Process or of a "unified" European Research Area to be realised. To address this Exceptions and limitations harmonised to fit best practice are required to allow content to move digitally across Member States in support of education, research and libraries. Support for open content licensing by the European Parliament will strengthen authors’ rights, meet the needs of researchers, teachers and learners, and enable the free flow of knowledge in support of the "fifth freedom".

L’existència d’una xarxa mundial de comunicacions ubiqua i barata que cada vegada més permet obtenir documents de manera fàcil i gratuïta requerirà una transformació de les pràctiques de la formació de col·leccions a les biblioteques universitàries. Això estarà impulsat per una sèrie d’avenços específics, que inclouen la digitalització de continguts; el desenvolupament de repositoris d’impresos; el desenvolupament de lectors de llibres electrònics i de l’edició mitjançant la impressió sota demanda; el creixement de l’accés obert; els reptes per establir estructures d’edició acadèmica; i el creixement de noves formes d’activitats acadèmiques basades en l’obertura i la productivitat social. Si les biblioteques universitàries volen tenir èxit, hauran de desmuntar les col·leccions impreses patrimonials; passar de la selecció de llibres ítem a ítem a la compra sota demanda i a les subscripcions; gestionar la transició cap a revistes d’accés obert; centrar-se en conservar ítems únics; i desenvolupar nous mecanismes per finançar una infraestructura nacional.

Since two years ago, five European universities are working together with Creative Commons and the Open Courseware Consortium in an EU funded project aimed at supporting student virtual mobility on the basis of OCW. During those two years, there have been several workshops dedicated to different topics and some documents have been produced, among them about the use of CC licenses. The final goal of the project is to establish an European branch of the OCW Consortium as the existing ones in other regions. More information about the project: http://opencourseware.eu/

Network neutrality is a growing policy controversy. Traffic management techniques affect not only high-speed, high-money content, but by extension all other content too. Internet regulators and users may tolerate much more discrimination in the interests of innovation. For instance, in the absence of regulatory oversight, ISPs could use Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) to block some content altogether, if they decide it is not to the benefit of ISPs, copyright holders, parents or the government. ISP blocking is currently widespread in controlling spam email, and in some countries in blocking sexually graphic illegal images. In 1999 this led to scrutiny of foreclosure of Instant Messaging and video and cable-telephony horizontal merger. Fourteen years later, there were in 2013 net neutrality laws implemented in Slovenia, the Netherlands, Chile and Finland, regulation in the United States and Canada , co-regulation in Norway, and self-regulation in Japan, the United Kingdom and many other European countries . Both Germany and France in mid-2013 debated new net neutrality legislation, and the European Commission announced on 11 September 2013 that it would aim to introduce legislation in early 2014. This paper analyses these legal developments, and in particular the difficulty in assessing reasonable traffic management and ‘specialized’ (i.e. unregulated) faster services in both EU and US law. It also assesses net neutrality law against the international legal norms for user privacy and freedom of expression

The expansion of broadband speed and coverage over IP technology, which extend over transport and terminal access networks, has increased the demand for applications and content which by being provided over it, uniformly give rise to convergence. These shifts in technologies and enterprise business models are giving rise to the necessity for changing the perspective and scope of the Universal Service and of the regulation frameworks, with this last one based in the same principles as always but varying its application. Several aspects require special and renewed attention, such as the definition of relevant markets and dominant operators, the role of packages, interconnection of IP networks, network neutrality, the use of the spectrum with a vision of value for the citizenship, the application of the competition framework, new forms of licensing, treatment of the risk in the networks, changes in the regulatory authorities, amongst others. These matters are treated from the perspective of the actual trends in the world and its conceptual justification.

El uso de las licencias Creative Commons es muy amplio, puede darse respecto de cualquiera de las obras protegidas por el derecho de autor y por tanto ser aplicado por artistas, escritores, científicos, profesores, estudiantes, oficinistas, etc. Sin embargo, el ejercicio de análisis y comparación que proponemos respecto al uso de licencias Creative Commons es para un escenario más cerrado que pueda atender a los intereses propios del sector al que va dirigida esta publicación en particular, es decir, al objeto de trabajo de las Editoriales Universitarias en América Latina, a las publicaciones académicas. Por tanto, este documento se ocupará concretamente del uso de las licencias Creative Commons[1] en las publicaciones académicas en línea, mirándolas desde la óptica del acceso abierto (Labastida i Juan; Iglesias, 2006) y pensándolas desde la filosofía que las perfila, su penetración, las oportunidades que generan, las ventajas que hacen evidentes, e incluso los retos y desventajas que afrontan.
