This chapter, originally written as a consequence of the terrorist attacksof September 11, 2001, provides an elementary, everyday introduction tothe concepts of risk and insurance. Conceptually, risk has two dimensions:a potential loss, and the chance of that loss being realized. People can,however, transfer risk to insurance companies against the payment ofso-called premiums. In practice, however, one needs accurate assessmentsof both losses and probabilities to judge whether premiums are appropriate.For many risks, this poses little problem (e.g., life insurance); however,it is difficult to assess risks of many other kinds of events such as actsof terrorism. It is emphasized, that through evolution and learning, peopleare able to handle many of the common risks that they face in life. Butwhen people lack experience (e.g., new technologies, threats of terrorism),risk can only be assessed through imagination. Not surprisingly, insurancecompanies demand high prices when risks are poorly understood. In particular,the cost of insurance against possible acts of terrorism soared afterSeptember 11. How should people approach risk after the events of that day?Clearly, the world needs to protect itself from the acts of terrorists andother disturbed individuals. However, it is also important to address the root causes of such antisocial movements. It is, therefore, suggested thatprograms addressed at combatting ignorance, prejudice, and socialinequalities may be more effective premiums for reducing the risk ofterrosrtism than has been recognized to date.

Después de leer el artículo "El sistema de las Creative Commons" de Marco Marandola1, me gustaría presentar de manera más completa el proyecto de las licencias de Creative commons. Actualmente las palabras copyleft, copyright, open access, creative commons, procomún, se utilizan mucho pero a veces se mezclan conceptos y se informa de manera errónea. Agradezco a los editores la posibilidad de escribir esta nota que personalmente considero de rectificación.

[eng] The Creative Commons project in Spain has its beginnings in early 2003, but until one year ago it was not possible to access licenses adapted to Spanish legislation on intellectual property. In addition to this effort of adaptation, other activities have been carried out -centred especially on the dissemination and explanation of the licensing system- and the level of acceptance has been quite positive. This article covers the history of the project and provides an explanation of the licenses and a description of some of the initiatives that this legal system is carrying out.

Hace un par de años poca gente conocía las licencias Creative Commons, pero actualmente este término empieza a ser asociado a un estándar de licencias para obras digitales libres en la red, de la misma manera que las licencias del proyecto GNU (GPL, LGPL)2 se asocian a un estándar para el software libre.

Les llicències de Creative Commons són una alternativa a la gestió tradicional dels drets d'autor que s'ha estès ràpidament gràcies a Internet en els seus cinc anys d'existència. L'aparició d'aquesta nova eina legal ha obert un debat sobre els models de difusió de qualsevol contingut i, en definitiva, del coneixement que ha obligat a replantejaments no tan sols entre els autors i els creadors sinó també entre institucions i administracions. En aquest llibre es presenta el model que proposa Creative Commons per facilitar la difusió i l'accés als continguts de qualsevol persona, tot respectant-ne els drets d'autor.

In our capacity as creative artists, researchers and fine arts professors, most part of our activity focuses on the relationships between people and creativity, technology, and resources, and, most frequently, what we aim to offer are new enjoyable and subversive ways of interacting with these three fields. As art teachers, we ask 'why and how' to teach dynamic bearing in mind that digital technology will undoubtedly impact on contemporary art practice.
