April 26 is the day the World Intellectual Property Day is celebrated. The event was first instituted by the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO), the specialized agency of the United Nations set up in 1967 with the aim of encouraging creative activity and promoting intellectual property protection in the world.  For Patamu this is an opportunity to reflect on issues of copyright and authorship rights, protection from plagiarism, sharing and intellectual property in general.

Dina Madi, our first featured Patamu Artist for the English Blog, is a composer of Jordanian origin, with good looks, a penetrating gaze and charming French accent. Her music, intense and original, ranges from house to techno, fused with oriental rhythms.

Patamu philosophy on the use of Creative Commons licences or copyright

In Patamu we believe in free culture, and we believe that in many cases traditional copyright is not anymore suitable to the diffusion of wroks of art and culture, penalizing both the artist and the audience.
For this reason we support the use of open licences, and we offer the service for free (with a fair-pay model) to all the creatives that share our same philosophy.

Nevertheless, in order not to impose contraints, we allow BASIC accounts to use also copyright licences, for a maximum of 5 works, keeping for them the "all rights reserved" status with which all creative works are born.

If you need to deposit more works with an "all rights reserved" status, then you can shift to an ADVANCED or PRO account, thus supporting the Patamu project on an economic point of view and helping, even if not directly, the diffusion of free licences :)

In fact all the resources invested in Patamu by our community are exclusively used to mantain and improve our services, and it is precisely for that reason that "Innovaetica" - the Startup which is powering patamu Project - is recognized in Italy as an innovative startup for public benefit ;)

Your creative work was correctly timestamped.

You just received a confirmation mail,
now you can download the .zip and the .tsr file from your "registered works" page. You have to conserve those files to be able to prove the authorship of your work. And don't worry, we'll conserve them too!
If the service was useful to you, you can support us ;) 

Patamu is a wonderful idea! I want to support the project with a free donation.

I want to suggest Patamu to my friends, to obtain further bonus timestamps and help Patamu to become known.

If everyone of us will give a support to the project, we'll be able to mantain the free donation system forever ;)
Thank you with all our heart, and long life to creativity!
