The importance of the identification level
Marta Palacio
A user’s identification level shows the information wich has been included in his profile.
To confirm their identity as creator or copyrights owner of the registered works.
There are four identification levels, and from one week ago to confirm a user’s identity who has lost his mail account, we have included address and phone number fields as necessary to reach level 2.
The levels are:
Level 1: Validity and user access to the provided e-mail account has been confirmed.
Level 2: The user as well as his e-mail account, has provided contact information such as address and phone number.
Level 3: The user logs in Safe Creative using a digital certificate issued by a company (at this moment Verisign).
Level 4: The user logs in Safe Creative using a digital certificate issued by a Public Administration (at this moment: Spanish electronic identity card and FNMT digital certificate)
Providing the highest identification level is important not only to make a rigorous authorship proof, but also to be able to provide you access to your account in case you lose your e-mail account.

How to upload a file for evaluation
Marta Palacio
If you want to attract people interested in buying or licensing your work without sharing the full version freely, you should upload a file for evaluation. You can show the first chapters of your novel, the first song of your album, a fragment of your picture, or your photo in low quality: a preview that allows other users to know what they are acquiring.
Learn how to upload it in this tutorial:

Marta Palacio
We’re going to direct the Licensing for Commons humanitarian help towards those small projects with big dreamsn, and which have it more difficult when looking for help than important NGOs. One of those projects needs urgent help: Good Samaritan Orphan & Needy School (GSON), also known as the “Bunabumali Orphanage Project“.
Answering to the request of its manager and Safe Creative’s friend Emmanuel Norman, and with the approval of MSF, from now on this project is the one which is is going to recieve the humanitarian contributions.
With Licensing for Commons the diffusion of creativity helps altruistic projects aimed at spreading culture freely (CC) or humanitarian actions (GSON).

ForCommons licensing: Copyright solidarity
Marta Palacio
- Allows authors to channel part or all of their copyright income to a non profit organization.
- Médecins Sans Frontières and Creative Commons will be the first organizations to benefit from the system.
Madrid, March 9, 2011 .- Creative Commons, Médecins Sans Frontières and Safe Creative have launched Licensing For Commons a new solidarity licensing system that allows authors to channel part or all of the sales or licensing income of specific works to a solidarity action. Médecins Sans Frontières and Creative Commons will be the first organizations to benefit from the system.
The operative is quite simple: when registering a work in the online copyright certification registry Safe Creative, authors might establish what percentage, if any, of the revenue received by licensing or selling the content will be sent to a worthy cause and to what specific organization. From there on, Safe Creative will send those amounts, once genereated by end users purchases, to the referred organizations.
“We wanted,” – says Juan Palacio, CEO at Safe Creative, – “to help transform the dissemination of creativity into solidarity actions too. Our goal is that the Internet shared creativity might become basic support for non-profits.” At launch, the platform allows to choose between two internationally recognized organizations; one for its fundamental work in promoting the open dissemination and protection of culture, Creative Commons, and another for its outstanting humanitarian work, Médecins Sans Frontières.
The author decides the price per copy of their work or licensing agreements to be payed, and notes how much he or she wants to channel to the non-profit. In line with its own values and principles, Safe Creative does not benefit from the use of its platform for Licensing for Commons, as will donate to the same organization and at the same percentage as the author does the proportional cost of the transaction commission.
“Convinced that there is a new reality regards communication and distribution in the field of copyrighted content,” says Juan Palacio, “we have been the first ones to launch, within the online copyright certification service Safe Creative, a platform to allow direct and independent licensing rights with the content rights holders. Now we endow an innovative dimension of solidarity which we call ‘For Commons’ that, in line with the values of Safe Creative, makes possible the transformation in real tangible solidarity of part of the value that people share on the Internet, as each author determines. ”
Safe Creative is an online copyright certification registry in line with the digital reality and new tendencies. It is a Spanish Internet pioneer project that developed the first platform for registering, reporting and self-independently manage copyrights, and open to all possible rights protection policies. There are already more than half a million works enjoying Safe Creative features and more than 50,000 registered creators and rights holders.
Solidarity creativity in one click.
The system uses the licensing and sale platform of Safe Creative and allows, in only three simple steps, to share creativity and solidarity
Update March 14th 2011: Instead of MSF, donations will be able to be made to GSON (Bunabumali Project, Uganda) as urgent help is required there.

We suggest you to create a Creative People widget for your webpage.
Marta Palacio
What about creating a widget for your own site where showing your works or your favourite ones on Creative People?
How can you add a link to your works’ rights from your own webpage?
How can you show other people your favourite works?
By using Collections!
We’ll show you how:
First of all, you need to create a collection. You have two ways:
-clicking on “add to collecion” next to the work you like or
-going to “your collections” and then creating a new one.
The first option allows you to add the selected work to an existent collection or to a new one you can make at that moment.
When you’re creating a brand-new collecion you can choose its name, thumbnail and if you want it to be public or private.
Now, we’re going to make the widget.
Select the collection you want to feature and click on “share this collection“.
Now, these are the options for your widget, so you can make it fit with your webpage. You can change its size and colour, show your name, the “buy icons”, the “download” link (so other people will be able to play your songs or videos or see your pictures right from your site) and the thumbnails, as you prefer!
Finally, take your HTML code and paste it on your site!
We hope you like it and find it useful.
