Comuniquemos nuestras ideas Parte 3: Originalidad

La escritura, la presentación oral y luego la originalidad de nuestros trabajos, son probablemente los aspectos más importantes al momento de publicar nuestros resultados. A continuación les presento un extracto de un artículo con algunos enlaces.
Artículo 1. De un artículo que escribí hace un tiempo.

1. Creative Commons.
This is the source I first visited when I created this blog. Again, I did not include it because I think I have invented the wheel. I did it because I would like to force a reader to create beyond what I have done, and share it alike to further incentive its advance. Otherwise it is not fun.
Back to the link, you can set up this license under different schemes, depending on your needs and your objectives. It is very simple, it is free and the procedure takes only few minutes.

2. International copyright law.
In developing economies such as US, there are well established institutions that regulate copyright laws (The US copyright office). However, I was surprised when I read this article on the Photosecrets site, where they explain that the sole creation of your art grants you the copyrights. But, are your rights valid worldwide? According to the same site, yes, as long as your country has agreed to sign to the Berne Convention. Good news!!! my country has signed several international copyright treaties (see this Wikipedia link for the list of countries), so theoretically my work would be protected.

3. Copyrights in Latin America and the world.
I have cited my country as a place where copyright laws are not so strict, but I have not said that this is a big issue in the developing world, not only in Latin America. An article recently published at the BBC´s site, has uncovered how big the copyright issue is. In summary, the article outlines an investigation carried by the US Congress, where they have found out that most of the articles claimed as authentic (not only software and hardware, but also weapons), have some non-authentic component inside that is made in China. Read it here (in Spanish; in English), laugh, and later get concerned on the size of this issue.

4. 10 articles on protecting your art and copyrights by Kate Harper. For those who want more information.

5. GNU General Public Licenses (suggested by our friend Vladimir Moya), under the philosophy of the Free Software, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free software for all its users. A good initiative, as long as it is directed to the right user. Otherwise...
