• Minjeong Kim - The Creative Commons and Copyright Protection in the Digital Era: Uses of Creative Commons Licenses
  • examines CC licensors by using a “mixed-methods approach involving a web-based survey of CC licensors, a content analysis of CC-licensed works, and interviews - the study characterizes CC licensors, the ways that CC licensors produce creative works, the private interests that CC licenses serve, and the public interests that CC licenses serve.”
• Herkko Hietanen - License or a Contract, Analyzing the Nature of Creative Commons Licenses
  • focuses on the functional nature of CC licenses, attempting to understand “how the licenses should be interpreted, enforced and what the potential remedies are that might exist if a licensee fails to comply with the terms of the license”.
