Hi Dmytro,yes, Wikilivres is great, but is yet another website.Wikisource communities are pretty small (compared to Wikipedia ones) and we even have another multilingual Wikisource (oldwikisource), and again another non-WMF multilingual one (Wikilivres)I think it's too much :-)we'd need to coordinate and focus our efforts.My idea is: if we had a *server* with Wikisource content in Canada, for example, we could simply use the normal copyright of the country of the user of the local Wikisource?It's a question, I don't know the answer.But maybe it's worth asking the lawyers.AubreyOn Fri, Jan 10, 2014 at 10:23 AM, Dmytro Dziuma <dixond@acm.lviv.ua> wrote:Hi Andrea,Don't we have Wikilivres for that? Ideally it would be great if it was operated by WMF though.Best regards,

Hi all,We have prepared a guest blog post for EFF about how Wikipedia relies on the public domain:The final post will be published on January 14 as part of a copyright activism week that EFF and other organizations are doing next week. You can find more information below about the different themes for the week. It’s a great opportunity to raise awareness of the importance of the public domain, so I'd love to get your input on the draft.Thanks,Yana--Monday Jan 13 - Transparency:
Copyright policy must be set through a participatory, democratic and
transparent process. It should never be decided through back room deals
or secret international agreements.
Tuesday Jan 14 - Building and Defending a Robust Public Domain:
The public domain is our cultural commons and a public trust. Copyright
policy should seek to promote, and never diminish, this crucial resource.
Wednesday Jan 15 - Open Access: The results of publicly funded research
should be made freely available to the public online, to be fully used
by anyone, anywhere, anytime.
Thursday Jan 16 - You Bought it, You Own It: Copyright policy should
foster the freedom to truly own your stuff: to tinker with it, repair
it, reuse it, recycle it, read or watch or launch it on any device, lend
it, and then give it away (or re-sell it) when you're done.
Friday Jan 17 - Fair Use Rights:
For copyright to achieve its purpose of encouraging creativity and
innovation, it must preserve and promote ample breathing space for
unexpected and innovative uses.
Saturday Jan 18 - Getting Copyright Right:
A free and open Internet is essential infrastructure, fostering speech,
activism, new creativity and new business models for artists, authors,
musicians and other creators. It must never be sacrificed in the name of
copyright enforcement.--
