Il n'y a pas d'alternative : Trente ans de propagande économique : Gérard Mordillat, Bertrand Rothé. Le Kairos - le think tank militant. Roosevelt 2012 - un collectif et 15 réformes pour changer la donne. Copyright and Creative Commons. Julia’s dream is to make a living as a photographer. In this dream, she takes amazing photos, people buy them, and their purchases fund her future work. But it’s not that simple. Julia wants to publish some of her photos to help spread the word, but she’s concerned because photos are easy to copy. She could lose control and not be able to make a living from her talent. So she does some research and learns that in the U.S., as with other countries, we have laws that give creators of materials like books, images, movies, artwork and music a way to own and protect their creations.

And she’s surprised to find that when she creates photos, she owns the copyright to them automatically, without taking any other action. She likes being covered by copyright law, but it limits her exposure, because her permission is required for sharing a photo. Her research leads her to Creative Commons, which is a set of licenses that she can use to make her copyrighted photos free for sharing. Attac France | Un autre monde est possible !
