This paper conducts a comparative analysis of various modalities currently being adopted in selected countries to address legal impediments to the citizens’ rights to impart public sector information (PSI). Previous studies have identified a myriad of laws currently in force in Malaysia which impede the citizens’ rights to impart PSI. In the absence of sui generis law on the right to information, disclosure, publication, communication and distribution of PSI is subject to these laws. This paper surveyed to identify the most appropriate modalities for adaptation in Malaysia and later suggested the appropriate modalities to address the legal impediments.    Keywords: Legal impediment; Right to information; Modalities; Citizens.    eISSN: 2398-4287 © 2020.

Several years ago, the Australian Information Commissioner decided that, subject to security and privacy and so forth, all of its public-sector information should be, “free, easily discoverable, machine readable and re-useable.”

This chapter focuses on Creative Commons licensing, which has a vital role to play in tackling book hunger. Open-access books facilitate costless sharing and adaptation to diverse needs, especially through translation. It emphasizes that although open licensing is not right for everyone, all authors, illustrators, and publishers with a sense of social mission should explore what open licensing could do for their cause. Open licensing mandates are also becoming increasingly common requirements for funding from governments and foundations. Funders can incentivize authors and publishers to learn about and experiment with open licensing. The chapter further explains that open licensing requires a counterintuitive leap of faith: that surrendering control will actually help achieve certain goals. The best way to overcome doubt is to conduct an experiment. If someone is a publisher, that person should identify half a dozen backlist titles whose sales have slowed, and release half of them on a Creative Commons license.
