The Creative Commons Based Digital Right Management Model Use a Traditional Arts Website as a Case

Creative Commons (CC) licenses mechanism provides a flexible range of protections and freedoms for authors, artists and educators to utilize digital contents. Puppet King is a Website archiving a large quantity of digital video and audio materials about Taiwan´s traditional puppet shows. These valuable materials include long-term collections of images, pictures, and video and audio tapes from many collectors, artists and masters. This Website also allows users to upload the contents. It needs a mechanism to manage digital contents. In this paper, we propose a CC-based digital right management model to handle digital content access and licensing issues.
