Thank Carlos for the correction related to Copyright. On the other hand, really what I was trying to say is that we do not have digital write management laws (DRM) in Chile, and not Copyright as it look like.

We’re creating something really special down here in Chile. Optimism and joy can be seen on very blog. The Legal Workshop is only the beginning!

thanks to Roberto for the link to GVO – after carefully listening the workshop legal advices, I am now glad that Yahoo and Google – at least in the English version of the advanced search forms – offer the option – usage rights – it helps. How restrictive will (or, is it already?) be the copyright law toward bloggers? I would be happy to care it remains a free galaxy.

The event was cool in a great place. My Faculty is building a blog, and the contents of the workshop was very useful to our project.
Thank’s to the ONG “Derechos Digitales” for the place to learn about Copyright and Creative Commons Licences…

Hello rosario. I was there too and it’s a good summary of the legal workshop. Although, I believe “Derecho de Autor” is translated as “Copyright” and “Author’s Right” is not correct.
Another thing, there is in fact a copyright law in Chile (it’s n° 17.336 called “ley de propiedad intelectual”). It was modified, though, when Chile signed the Free Trade Agreement with the United States, back in 2003. By doing so, Chile’s copyright legislation became slightly similar with the one that rules in the U.S. (I believe it’s called teh U.S. Copyright Code). Like I say, just similar. There are a lot of things that are different between both legislations.

The Workshop was really good. Our first experience and was fine. A lot of bloggers trying to learn more details about Creative Commons, Rights, Laboral and Privacy issues.

Very good synthesis.
