Copyright Office Hours
Community Room
Licenses, statements, tools… What exactly is the difference?
Europeana Copyright Office Hours was back on 25 April with a session on licenses, labels, statements and tools, such as Creative Commons licenses and Rights Statements used in the digital cultural heritage sector. Learn about what was discussed with peers and copyright experts in the community and how to join future sessions!
Cultural heritage institutions can use many different instruments to communicate information on the rights attached to the works in their collections. The variety of options might create confusion as to whether and when these instruments should be used. But never fear - if you couldn’t attend the last Copyright Office Hours session on this topic, read on to learn about the different options and when you should use them.
What is the difference between all the systems and tools?
Is there an easy manual on how to chose between them?

It would be really great to see some use case examples on Rights Statements. I missed the Office Hours session, unfortunately.
Here are some examples on Europeana!
This painting is labelled with the CC BY-SA license by Creative Commons https://www.europeana.eu/en/item/2058611/kimbl00060850285b4469a0e87f5d0c181b27
And this poster is subject to the In Copyright rights statement by the rights statements consortium https://www.europeana.eu/en/item/2055736/httpswwwsearchculturegraggregatoredmKOTH_0000583A1160900320131012
In both cases the rights statement is indicated below.
