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 ;)

Patamu generates a proof of authorship for any creative work, allowing to protect one's creativity and publish or share works safely. The protection is instantaneous and is carried out by means of a legally recognized timestamp.

The author keeps all the rights on the deposited works, has no further obligations towards Patamu, and can use, share or publish works as he/she prefers.

The evidence of authorship generated with Patamu is valid in all the 172 countries that signed the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works. You can read the list of countries by clicking on this link.

The validity of our timestamps is legally recognized and guaranteed by the European Union, as the certification authority that produces our timestamps is certified to be compliant with the EU 910/2014 eIDAS regulation on Digital Trust services.

Patamu Registry can be used by musicians, photographers, writers, journalists, researchers, designers, IT developers, by those who make derivative works such as remixes or mash-ups and in general by anyone interested in proving and protecting the authorship of an artwork or an idea.
