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 ;)

One of the biggest worries for an artist is to protect its artworks. Fears about plagiarism aren’t exactly unfounded: there have been many famous cases of plagiarism and plenty more have been alleged. Even when plagiarism is completely unintentional, it can be massively expensive and complicated to sort out. Patamus offers an artworks register and protection system reliable, instantaneous, legally valid, and free, accessible through our internet platform.

Plagiarism is a serious problem – so serious that artists are afraid of putting their work online for fear of being ripped off. Some artists get so worried about this that they avoid distributing their work at all, missing great opportunities, too. It’s a shame: if people keep their songs in a dusty cupboard for fear of losing them, it’s bad for all of us.

Protecting your work used to be difficult and complicated, and many artists are still doing it in ways that are unnecessarily expensive or that don’t offer them the security they need. With Patamu it became very easy!

When you register with Patamu you can instantly start protecting your work in a way that is completely reliable and completely free. You just have to fill in your personal details, then upload the file containing your song or artwork. The system will generate a zip file containing your declaration of authorship and the song, which is stamped with a legally valid and unbreakable cryptographic timestamp. When this is done, you can download the zip file and the timestamp file, as they prove you wrote the song – provided that nobody protected the same song before you!

Protecting your songs this way means you’re now free to distribute your song on the web without anyone else claiming it as their own – so get going!
