You kinda jumped the gun as I've already been working on a post on cultural heritage orgs as a follow up. I've had other requests to expand on this idea in other contexts, and so I'll be posting on it in the next few days. But to start with, I think it is important to recognise that cultural heritage orgs range from the very large to the very small, and can be both publicly and privately funded and includes museums, libraries, galleries, and archives. Some of them already do their own copyright enforcement, others have only limited resources and so might not do much enforcement, and still others perhaps can't really do any enforcement because for administrative reasons that lies with another department (perhaps a city attorney would be the only one who could handle enforcement for a city library). The other part to your comment is whether or not cultural heritage organisations could do their own online copyright enforcement together with Creative Commons or open content licences. I think that they certainly could (given the above) and that doing so would be easier than most types of online copyright enforcement because it would mostly entail sending a friendly letter. Thanks again for the comment. Any other questions or comments, let me know. Hi Esther — great to hear from you and I hope things are well in The Netherlands.

This approach with enforcements models makes things easy to explain. By the way, what do you think. Can you imagen circumstances in which a CHI takes over some role in enforcement, when they choose to promote CC licenses?
