Thats' fine. I've linked it to the YouTube website .... It likely should also go on the News [Addison Rd web] page which I will do now too.

 

There may be a way to upload the movie to the ARC website but I don't know how at this time.

 

My other response for Jeff and ARC generally is that a better control of video creations is via video share websites like

http://engagemedia.org/ 

associated in some way with Creative Commons licensing locally out of Queensland University Law School but also based in San Fransisco international office:

 

Australia - Creative Commons

 

I met Andrew Lowenthal of the local engagemedia mob last week at the OurMedia 4 day conference. A very impressive young 25 something bloke. He points out when YouTube sold for $1billion plus, the worker bees and artists got ... bugger all.

YT apparently get to 'own it' all effectively because you give all your control for that posting. That's what I call a successful model grabbing altruism and intellectual property (IP)  for private profit. The [Addison Rd Community Centre] is not really compatible with that model.

 

Also CCommons is not against profit taking, only that it goes to the art workers at their level of copyright.

 

The creative commons licensing framework is powerful because you can choose how little or much you want to share your thing - copy okay/not, attribute/not, entire/part, and many other combo and permutations. It is strong legally apparently and has stood up in some legal cases.

 

Thus endeth the lesson on IP in the new net shark pool.

 

Regards, Tom

 For Jeff Wood's impressive mini movie via YouTube see

Independence Square

00:36

Out door Chess, 4m square, all pieces are styled on Redcoates and Rebles of the wars of Independence 1775-83. The centre inscription reads the words of Thomas Jefferson - all men are created equal
