Heya, let me get back to you on this...I think this is a great idea, and there have been some efforts wrt to this...I'm checking with CC's GC, and others on best practices...

until then, from the archives: http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/cc-community/2006-December/001406.html

hello all

we at ccau don't have a release form or anything like that. and the issue of documentary filmmakers releasing films via mainstream mediums (such as television, cinemas and dvd) has come through our office on a few occasions.

i did presentation at the australian international documentary conference (http://2007.aidc.com.au) in february this year. the presentation covered the cc licences, and looked four potential uses of cc for the documentary film sector:

1 as a viral distribution tool (digital + offline);

2 as a way of opening up access to your raw footage;

3 as a collaboration platform; and

4 as content to include in your film.

you can have a look at the presentation @ http://creativecommons.org.au/aidc and it is under an australian attribution 2.5 licence so feel free to reuse it too ^_^

thanks

What CC Taiwan did is using PDF forms as templates, helping people print out simple form of "agreement" documents. In additional, people can also send what they filled back to CC Taiwan by clicking a single button in that PDF form.

These PDF forms feature bilingual (Traditional Chinese and English), So you can check it out by yourself:
