Copy... right
 
Recently, Victor published how a certain press had stolen some worksheets from eslprintables without giving any credit to the authors.
 
I think all of us should back our copyrights a little bit more, even if there is a copyright notice on each ws �s page.
 
I suggest creative commons, as way to license our worksheets, it is pretty clear and easy to use. I recomend that each teacher gets a cc license and pastes the license code at the footer of the document.
 
Best regards,
 
Mauro

Hi Mauro
I �ve just sent an email to you, before reading your post.

Seems good idea, but I have no idea how to do it LOL

Waiting for you to explain me, ok?

Hey Linda!
 
I �ll have to check when I get home.
 
The creative commons thing is really not big deal:
 
1. Go to the website.
2. Click on License.
3. Choose the kind of license you want.
4. Get the code.
5. Paste the code on your worksheet.
 
Easy,
 
Hope that helps,
 
Mauro

I think it �s a good idea but creative commons is not acknowledged internationally, nor would it hold up in a court of law. If someone stole your work then having a creative commons licence for it would be of no more use than the current copyright sign that this site gives you.

Well,
it �s not accepted everywhere, but it �s got a pretty good number of countries which acknowledge it... netter than nothing.
