HIVE has adopted the “Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0) license.” This license allows you to enter an agreement in advance with the ICC, the copyright holder, regarding under what conditions and how you can use HIVE content.

To do this, copy and paste the following code into the source of the appropriate part of the published web page.

Disclaimer to commercial use

Illegal commercial use

The license for the videos archived in HIVE is only for non-commercial purposes, such as educational use. Any commercial use of HIVE videos (such as the sale of copies or other activities that generate direct profits) violates copyright laws in Japan and those defined under international treaties.

In addition, the use of content in a manner that does not comply with the other terms of the license adopted by HIVE (the obligation to indicate names and the publication of the derivative work under the same terms) is also a violation of the law.

Check the terms of use before using HIVE content. For information on how to attach or display the Creative Commons license, see the Creative Commons website.

Disclaimer

If you wish to use a video archived on HIVE for commercial purposes, you are required to contact the original author, the NTT InterCommunication Center [ICC], and the relevant artists/lecturers for the video.

Please note that, in principle, the ICC does not undertake mediation work between individual artists/lecturers and third parties.

For inquiries to the ICC, use the General Inquiry Form on this website.
