We watch a lot of TED. The reason we all can watch a lot of TED is because TED licences their videos under CC BY-NC-ND 3.0.  I can’t imagine a world without TEDTalks. My education would have stopped the moment I took off the square cap and gown, there would be a lot less discussion at the dinner table and I would have a lot more bandwidth available at the end of the month.

Margaret Gould Stewart is YouTube’s head of user experience. Her “TED in less than six minutes” outlines the benefits of digital rights identification and why you should think carefully about choosing your licence. By watching a video on YouTube you are part of the digital rights management system. And by choosing an open licence you are helping to create a culture of opportunity, like our friend TED. While big corporates may have some ground to cover in this creative ecosystem this talk is a lovely example of when they borrow from the little guy and everybody wins.
Apologises for this post include:
Getting Chris Brown’s Forever stuck in your head
and for
Using up bandwidth for watch the JK Wedding Entrance Dance…again and again.

Our intrepid curator hails from Canada. Kelsey has 6 years of research experience working in special libraries in the Great White North. Kelsey has a curious passion for copyright and is know for mashing interesting people together and her chocolate chip cookies. She arrived in Cape Town from Cairo on her bicycle. Specializing in digging up gems of Creative Commons in South Africa, Kelsey loves new information and can't wait to hear your stories. Her top three books as a child would be Anne of Green Gables, Little Orphan Annie Volumes1-3, and James and the Giant Peach and she thinks Catcher in the Rye is highly overrated.
