Adding CC Licenses When Uploading

It was just mentioned in the last post that it would soon be possible to add CC licenses to your works while uploading. Well, you won’t have to wait any longer: Voila, it’s finished!

When you click on the details for a file just before it has been uploaded (on the upload page) you will see the “CC” Button which opens up a new window where you can add the appropriate CC License to your work. we hope that this helps alleviate the tedious process of having to a CC Licenses for each and every photo/video individually.

Better Creative Commons Support

We already incorporated Creative Commons onto sevenload in January. A lot of feedback came back to us from the Community about how we could better implement it and explain it to users- and our development team came up with a way to do searches under the parameters of certain CC licenses.

In addition, we’re planning on adding a feature that will let you add a CC License at the onset of uploading photos and videos. This hopefully will make it easier for you to share/protect your works on sevenload!

If you haven’t heard about Creative Commons yet, this will be your chance to find out more about it!

Creative Commons Liscense Integration

We’ve just made it possible for users to create a Creative Commons license for all of their own contents saved on sevenload. CC licenses currently need to be made for each photo and video individually. According license information can be found on the same page as the photo or video in a small box below it. This box will give users options to comfortably make selections for their own license:

The CC licenses will be allotted on the Creative Commons Server via an according API. The license information will be saved on sevenload as an additional tag for the photo/video together with a visible note about the license. Below are examples of what the Creative Commons license looks like in sidebar and tag form:

CC-License in the Sidebar

CC-License as a Tag

Selected contents can be found more easily in searches via the standardized tags which are created. We are also planning on restructuring the upload process so that a CC license can be created during the file’s upload.
