Nordic Cultural Commons Conference 2008
Stockholm, 22-23 October

With the advent of the digital revolution and the Internet, it is 
suddenly possible to to work collaboratively across contexts and to 
create new, derivative or collective works on a global level. This 
presents an opportunity for an enormous and unprecedented stimulation of 
creativity and production of knowledge.

New licensing models have been created to help this collaborative 
creation. Open licenses such as Creative Commons provide ways for 
creators and distributors to work together. Such collaboration has 
proven itself fruitful also economically: open licensing has been 
succesfully used by music businesses, movie producers, book publishers 
and media companies.

How is business created around open licensing? What benefits does the 
Creative Commons model provide for public broadcasting and archiving? 
How open licensing changes the production of cultural works? How does 
the common Nordic legal environment affect re-use of cultural works?

Nordic Cultural Commons Conference provides insight into these 
questions. Bringing together all Nordic Creative Commons scholars and 
practitioners, it is also a great opportunity to meet and discuss the 
latest open content practices and ideas.

Our speakers include Mike Linksvayer (Creative Commons), John Buckman 
(Magnatune), Nicklas Lundblad (Google) and Paul Gerhardt (BBC Creative 
Archive).
