Additional Notes , The Harriet Monroe Institute , centre for social media discus
sion, Portugal to make Creative Commons illegal ?:
“Embracing the overarching value of access to poetry as its theme, the group saw t
hat business, technological, and societal shifts had profound implications for p
oets publishing both in new and in traditional media, and also that poets have a
n opportunity to take a central role in expanding access to a broad range of poe
try in coming months and years. Almost immediately, the group’s conversation focus
ed on barriers to poetic innovation and distribution caused by clearance issues.
Some of these clearance issues develop from the business structures underlying
poetry publishing, but a significant number, the group discovered, relate to ins
titutional practices that might be reconsidered, including both poets’ and publish
ers’ approaches to quoting and other types of possible fair use. Soon after its fi
rst meeting, the group began discussing the possibility of developing “best practi
ces” for poets and publishers.“
