overview
CCau is the Australian arm of the international Creative Commons project. Creative Commons is a non-profit organisation that aims to promote flexible copyright options for creators. At the core of the Creative Commons project is a suite of standardised licences that are made freely available to authors and artists and which provide a range of protections and freedoms for their material. Creative Commons builds upon the “all rights reserved” of traditional copyright to create a voluntary “some rights reserved” system.
the licences
There are four CC licence protocols:
* Attribution – A compulsory element, which applies to all Creative Commons licences. This means that whenever a work is copied or redistributed under a Creative Commons licence, credit must always be given to the creator.

QUT Faculty of Law and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation
in conjunction with the Office of the Vice-Chancellor present
What is “Network Neutrality”? And Why Does it Matter?
by Professor Terry Fisher
Hale and Dorr Professor of Intellectual Property Law, Harvard University and
Director, Berkman Center for Internet and Society
Should Internet Service Providers be permitted to decide which messages and services they will allow to pass through their lines? Should they be permitted to charge more for certain applications than for others? Responsible answers to such questions must consider a wide range of factors — among them, the incentives driving broadband deployment, the importance of preserving opportunities for technological and business innovation on the Internet, and the role of the Internet in fostering political engagement and amateurism. Regulators in many countries are currently debating these matters. This lecture will explore the competing arguments and offer ways of resolving them.
1.00 – 2.00 pm, Tuesday 6 March @ John Kindler lecture theatre, QUT Gardens Point Campus,
George Street, Brisbane

Lecture: Drugs, Law and the Global Health Crisis

Drugs, Law and the Global Health Crisis
by Professor Terry Fisher
Hale and Dorr Professor of Intellectual Property Law, Harvard University and
Director, Berkman Center for Internet and Society
Each year, nine million people die needlessly from infectious disease in developing countries. Among the causes of this annual Holocaust are that too few vaccines and drugs that would prevent or cure those diseases are being developed, and that the existing drugs are typically priced at levels that place them out of the reach of most developing-country residents. Those problems are, in turn, partly the result of poorly constructed laws. This lecture will examine the crisis and propose several ways in which the legal system could be modified to alleviate it.
Chaired by the Hon Justice Paul de Jersey, AC, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Queensland
5.30 – 6.30 pm, Thursday 8 March @ Banco Court, Level 2, Supreme Court Building, Brisbane Court Complex, 304 George Street, Brisbane followed by a reception @ Rare Books Precinct (attached to Banco Ct) until 8:00pm
