Diwygio hawlfraint a diogelwch sy'n gysylltiedig â hawlfraint
There are several copyright and copyright-related protections which should be changed, or fully taken advantage from. Here's a probably incomplete list. In a second step, an attempt will be made to prioritise the issues. Further work can be done to include more objectives, order by importance (for us and/or everyone), order by activity on the topic by us and others, order by impact. Work on this page has been re-started after a mailing list discussion following a policy statement by Creative Commons, supporting a copyright reform.
Storm syniadau
Dyma restr o'r rhan fwyaf o bethau a grybwyllir ar wahanol dudalennau, sgyrsiau a rhestrau postio. Mae nifer o eitemau yn debyg iawn neu'n union yr un fath. Nid yw'r rhestr hon o reidrwydd yn adlewyrchu unrhyw flaenoriaethau, a'i phwrpas yw llunio pob mater a grybwyllwyd ar draws gwahanol sianelau cyfathrebu.

- Shorten copyright terms (and prevent their expansion)
- Global Freedom of Panorama
- Free use of Orphan Works
- Digitalisation of copyright records
- Rule of shorter term
- Raising threshold for required added creativity (incl. killing Sweat the brow)
- Repeal EU Database Rights
- Have government created works (incl. EU, EU Member States, US States, etc.) released into the public domain
- Have publicly funded works released under free licenses
- Standardised limitations and exceptions (incl. removing special extensions)
- Software patents
- Exceptions to DRM

Blaenoriaethu
The points should be prioritised along criteria like impact, urgency, feasibility, importance to community, positioning of other organisations, fit-to-strategy and falling within the scope of Wikimedia. All these criteria need to be better defined. A first and partial overview of the "importance to community" could be found in the results of the Policy Issues Survey 2013.
