2. Objective and method; CC licenses; Legal analysis of CC in Brazil; Social impact and economic development. Agenda http://www.law.kuleuven.be/icri

3. Objective and Method Objective: how and to what extent copyright can be a key factor for economic and social growth in Brazil? Method: analysis of CC licenses and potential impact on the creation of new businesses; economic and social consequences.

4. CC licenses Some rights reserved: the licensor can decide to what extent he will keep his rights over his work. Sharing ideas vs. protecting ideas. Brazil: CC supported by the Federal Ministry of Culture (Gilberto Gil) and part of academia: CC as a way to create social and economic development.

5. Legal analysis of CC in Brazil Legal framework: Law 9.610/1998 (copyright) and Law 9.609/1998 (copyright and software). Economic rights + moral rights for the creator. Kinds of licenses (2.5): – Attribution; – Attribution – non commercial; – Attribution – non commercial – no derivative work; – Attribution – non commercial – share alike; – Attribution – no derivative work; – Attribution – share alike.

6. Social impact and economic development (I) Economic development and access to knowledge depend on copyright. Strong copyright protection vs. freedom. Economic development: stimulus to social and cultural growth.

7. Social impact and economic development (II) Law and economics: strong IPR protection is a stimulus to growth. Brazilian copyright law: very strong protection, inefficient enforcement system: necessity to create a modern system, CC licenses can contribute to that.

8. Social impact and economic development (III) Projects to create SMEs and clusters and allow access to culture for all citizens: programme Cultura Viva. Role of CC licenses: flexibility; protection + sharing and innovation: they match the needs of businesses. Pontos de Cultura: – Places where it’s possible to learn and have access to information and culture; – Incubators for SMEs; – From a tool for capacity building to a tool to create employment and innovate the local economy.
