Hello Carolina,
tell me about Creative Commons in Latin America,
How is the movement doing in the region?
Well, I think the movement is already consolidated,
in fact, the first countries adopting Creative Commons licences
are in Latin America, for example, Brazil, Chile and Argentina.
until now, we already have nine countries that have adopted the Creative Commons licenses,
and that shows some maturity.
Now we just need that the other countries
get integrated; but I think that the movement is already known in the region.
It is a movement that is there, that has presence.
It is locally recognized in the areas where it operates.
The challenge is now to place that philosophy,
the way we look at Intelectual Property in a different context
and more related with the capacities of new technologies
in issues that can have a greater influence in society.
I think that our challenge is the state,
start to show the existing posibilities
in the use of public information, in results of public financing.
looking at them from the state's perspective and
the power the state has for the content circulation
- Do you see any common problems in the different countries,
facing the Creative Commons philosophy
between people and state entities, as you commented?
Well, I think that there is a problem that
has been already solved, and we were discussing in the panel:
the concept of legality.
At the begining legality was one of the things
that was most discussed and protested, that if
Creative Commons was legal or ilegal.
Now you can see that the people and author rights officials
recognize that it is legal and that it is a different way
to manage author rights, but it does not go against the law.
The point I see now, is to be able to get over the idea
that the only reasonable production model is the industry's model
that is the current paradigm we neem to break through.
We are already legal, but why is the industry's the only model
when we are talking about different environments
as is the public environment, where education, science, etc
don't answer to the market's logic.
I think that is the main point we have to talk about now
because if now we just stay on the idea about
if is it voluntary or not.
Of course it is voluntary in some environments, but in others
it should be the rule.
the idea that, what is financed with public money
is public, and must be able to circulate in models
that are not the industry's.
With or without Creative Commons, I don´t know
maybe with Creative Commons,
but at least to raise that argument,
that position and that vision.
