Spain is the first country in the world in the adoption of Creative Commons licenses: over ten million pieces (10271924). The followed by Italy (8804446), United States (7,341,065) Taiwan (5,296,238), Japan, South Korea, France and Germany.
The Creative Commons licensing system to define what type of authorized use, the author gives the user to a particular work can even create different licenses for works or different kinds of works. According to Creative Commons, the CC most widespread in Spain, among the different possible versions, is the least restrictive for the user, and it gives the author rights (without giving them, and for specific cases) to copy, distribute , obligation to share under the same licensing, commercial and noncommercial use, adaptation, transformation, etc., but without affecting the public domain, copyright and moral rights of attribution in this work. Creative Commons License The second most widespread in Spain is curiously which impose additional constraints to the user. In the multiple possibilities between these two versions, the author chooses which decides to exercise rights on his own work and decide what to sacrifice for the sake of coming to a greater number of persons, or other motivations.
Conceptually this is a very good idea, an instrument created with a good intention. However, there may be problems apparently not covered by the designers of such licenses. For example, by becoming the alternative model of protection of intellectual property rights, can become very protective collide with the Copyright Act, where the assignment of rights requires their translation in writing, nor is there an act of acceptance of the assignee, which is unprotected and can not prove their legitimate action in the event that the author remove the CC logo of the work in question ... They are certainly flaws that must be polished to be used this creative and well-intentioned tool with all the guarantees for authors and users. Maria Teresa Nevado
