I helped put together the new Creative Commons CD featuring all sorts of great licensed music, and it's all available for download.

Now that the pool of CC-licensed music has grown, we had a great deal of choices and as a result there are all sorts of songs in the mix. I've been listening to these songs for months and it's hard to pick favorites, they've all got some strengths. Don't miss the bonus remixes too, the creativity there was amazing.

Colin Mutchler, featured in our second Creative Commons movie "Reticulum Rex", is giving a live performance of his audio/visual work called "Free Culture" September 15th in Brooklyn, NY.

"Sourced by Larry Lessig and his new book of the same name, Free Culture is multimedia performance by Brooklyn based artist Colin Mutchler that mixes music, image, video and spoken word to speak his personal journey, both physically and digitally, through the last four years. "

This has amazed even me. AKMA asked whether a free audio version of Free Culture can be built. Joi seconded the idea, and one day later, ten chapters are claimed. Doug Kaye of ITConversations has already recorded chapter one -- Creators. Noncommercial derivative works, and maybe even a competition in versions (I want to record a chapter!). Very cool.

The free Free Culture was released as a pdf under a Creative Commons attribution-noncommercial license. Some complained about the format. Others, relying upon the freedom granted, created derivative works in other formats. So far, 36 hours after the book was released, I know of 9 versions available, including: MS-re ader, Rocke t e-Book, zippe d, iSilo , Mobip ocket, EasyR ead, PostScri pt, Pl ain Text, html. Most of these are from Blackmask, but thanks to Firas, Mike and Josh as well.

A Wikipedia of Free Culture?

A Wikipedia of Free Culture? 07/02/2004 03:32 AM

Q: How to plan a wiki?
A: Hash out ideas on a wiki.

So we set up a wiki and we're holding a barn raising there. You're invited.

Our objective is to plan a "Get Content" wiki, a scalable catalog of "some rights reserved" and "no rights reserved" works.

A truly international catalog of CC and PD works. A Wikipedia of Free Culture, democratically maintained and curated.

Can this work? We have a hunch that it can, but we've doubtless missed many solutions and innumerable problems.

What we have thought of is of course on the wiki, where you should go without further adieu and add your ideas.

Note for anyone excited about the idea: we're planning at this stage. The wiki we're using for the planning may not be the one we use to implement the "Get Content" wiki (do help us figure that one out) -- so you may wish to curb your enthusiasm for raw cataloging just right now.

Now dive in!

The Free Culture debate

The Free Culture debate 02/11/2004 09:39 AM
James DeLong responds to my post about the Free Culture Movement (FCM) and property rights.  He steps back from his earlier statements and acknowledges that, yes, there are elements of the movement, such as Creative Commons, that work within the property rights system.  For that I give him credit. 

I don't agree with his stark division of the FCM into "BSD Licence" activities that respect property rights and "GPL" activities that seek to overthrow them, but I won't be ungrateful.  It's a much more nuanced and accurate view that what he started with.  If we can spend our energy debating the substance of the issues -- which sets of rules better promote economic efficiency, freedom, and innovation -- we may make some progress.

To my mind, the genius of people like Larry Lessig and Yochai Benkler is that, unlike the prior "copyleft" generation represented by GPL creator Richard Stallman, they are able to engage on their opponents' own turf as well as from the outside.  What set me off about DeLong's original post was the unwillingness to accept that fact, by labeling the whole movement as opposed to property rights.

DeLong takes umbrage at my use of the term "copyright maximalists."  First of all, I didn't apply that label to him -- I was thinking more of Jack Valenti. As DeLong makes clear in his followup post, he appreciates that property rights have limits:


Unfortunately, many of the business and political interests in the digital content debates fail to acknowledge this point.  The movie industry, for example, has voiciferously promoted its conception of its intellectual property rights as morally sacrosanct, now and forever.  One key rhetorical move they make in doing so is to label anyone who questions their viewpoint as a communist and/or a pirate.  (I'm not sure which is the greater insult.)  You either support the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act... or you're in the dustbin of history with Lenin and Trotsky.  In a political battle, demonizing the opposition can be very effective. 

I'm sure this wasn't what motivated DeLong's original post.  But to a reader, his sweeping generalization had that ring. 

De Long succinctly (if inadvertantly) shows the core problem:


I see a similar problem on the other side: property rights defenders reflexively attacking alternative production models and technology-necessitated limitations on rights.  Does that describe all opponents of the FCM?  Of course not.  But the thoughtful ones such as DeLong are letting themselves become intellectual cover for the extremists.

That's why this meta-debate matters.  In the confines of the academy, we all trust each other's intellectual honesty and can have a nice conversation.  DeLong points to Polk Wagner, who has done excellent work attacking the point of view that I support.  I see Polk once a month at a Philly-area gathering of cyberlaw afficionados.  We find common ground on some substantive points and disagree on others, but I always respect his perspective.  In my forthcoming spectrum paper, I engage with other brilliant scholars like Howard Shelanski and Stuart Benjamin who have written in the area.  That's the nature of intellectual debate -- different sides advance claims and challenge one another. 

The cold reality is that the Free Culture battle isn't just being fought in the halls of academe.  The scholarly discussion is part of a larger debate taking place in Congress, the courts, corporate board rooms, and the realm of public opinion.  We simply can't ignore the consequences of labeling opponents with too broad brush.

Woody Guthrie free culture

Woody Guthrie free culture 04/09/2004 03:54 PM

Joel Blain recently wrote in with an interesting observation:

"I've been reading a bio on Woody Guthrie. It's pretty interesting. The book reprints one of the "Copyright Warnings" he included on his recordings in the ealry 40's

"This song is Copyrighted in U.S., under Seal of Copyright # 154085, for a period of 28 years, and anybody caught singin it without our permission, will be mighty good friends of ourn, cause we don't give a dern. Publish it. Write it. Sing it. Swing to it. Yodel it. We wrote it, that's all we wanted to do."

It just made me think of Creative Commons. I dunno if you've seen or heard it before, but I thought I'd pass it along."

Nice find, thanks Joel!

Free Culture and Property Rights

Free Culture and Property Rights 02/10/2004 02:47 AM
Over at the Progress and Freedom Foundation blog, James DeLong attempts to prove that the "Free Culture Movement" (FCM) led by people like Larry Lessig is part and parcel of the political left:

This is a nice case of simply asserting what the author is allegedly attempting to prove.  In fact, Free Culture is eminently consistent with markets and property rights.  Lessig's Creative Commons and successful open source projects are based on well-defined software licenses.  In other words, property rights that function in a market.  The network infrastructure piece of Free Culture, open spectrum is expressly built on the idea of a market in wireless devices replacing a system of government spectrum micro-management.  And it was the Framers of the US Constitution, hardly anti-property radicals, who decreed that copyrights be for a limited period of time. 

The property rights maximalists are the true radicals here.  They have defined any challenges to the status quo as a frontal attack on property rights.  As political propaganda, this effort may have some success.  But the ultimate strength of the Free Culture Movement, or whatever one calls it, lies in this: It is an internal critique of the dominant ideology, not an external challenge to markets like communism. 

The Free Culture proponents, who offer suggestions like returning to the copyright terms of the 1790s, are the true conservatives in this debate.

Free Culture Phase 2 Conference

Free Culture Phase 2 Conference 06/17/2005 05:02 PM

A little late on the blogging (due to travel), but still worth reporting on:

A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to attend the Free Culture Phase 2 conference. The conference was organized by Malkia Lydia and Colin Mutchler (father of Creative Commons' theme song My Life and Free Culture Tour), and sponsored by American University. It brought together a small number of diverse younger and older activists, including Freeculture.org, Downhill Battle, Listen Up, Third World Majority, Eyebeam, and many more. The diverse group struggled to understand what free culture truly means in the context of global economics, access to technology, and traditional knowledge. The group also shared ideas, art, and experiences using new media as a tool for social justice. Though it wasn't clearly defined what Phase 2 might be, it was understood to me that the root of what everyone was doing came from a common passion for citizen self-determination and empowerment.

Lessig's free book still racking in the sales

Stanford Magazine carries a story this month about our chairman and co-founder Lawrence Lessig's book which has just entered its third printing. This is interesting because the book is freely available online for download (under a Creative Commons license), and has been downloaded about 180,000 times. On the one hand an author can give away free content for folks to remake into audio books, translations, and other formats, and the author still gets paid through traditional book sales. Amazing how that works, and works so well sometimes. [via Copyfight]

It will be very difficult to "prove" that the Creative Common license and the freely downloadable aspect of Free Culture improved sales, but the book is selling and making it freely available has clearly not STOPPED sales. I wonder if it is possible to show that making books available for free electronically increases the sale of real books? I wonder if there are particular genres where this holds more true...

Debates about global issues, politics
and culture set "CC-free" 06/17/2005 05:02 PM

In recent news - openDemocracy.net has announced that it is releasing around 150 of its existing articles under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives license and will also be incorporating the option of Creative Commons licensing for all future contributors.

openDemocracy is an online magazine that provides a forum in which global issues relating to politics and culture are debated, many of which do not receive sufficient or sufficiently careful attention by the mainstream media. A brief review of openDemocracy's au thor pages shows that recent authors have included Kofi Annan, Timothy Garton Ash, Janis Ian, Iris Marion Young, Salman Rushdie, George Soros, Richard Stallman and Gillian Slovo.

It is great to have such a high caliber publication committed to the principles of spreading ideas around the globe and adopting a Creative Commons to fulfill that objective. You can read more about their decision to switch and why Salman Rushdie said no to a Creative Commons license in our recent Featured Commoner segment.

Bill Gates: Free Culture advocates =
Commies 01/06/2005 12:07 AM
Xeni Jardin: I imagine my blog-mate Cory might have a few things to say about this when he's online again. :-) In an interview on news.com, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates described free culture advocates as a "modern-day sort of communists." Well now.

Q: "In recent years, there's been a lot of people clamoring to reform and restrict intellectual-property rights. It started out with just a few people, but now there are a bunch of advocates saying, 'We've got to look at patents, we've got to look at copyrights.' What's driving this, and do you think intellectual-property laws need to be reformed?

A: "No, I'd say that of the world's economies, there's more that believe in intellectual property today than ever. There are fewer communists in the world today than there were. There are some new modern-day sort of communists who want to get rid of the incentive for musicians and moviemakers and software makers under various guises. They don't think that those incentives should exist.

And this debate will always be there. I'd be the first to say that the patent system can always be tuned--including the U.S. patent system. There are some goals to cap some reform elements. But the idea that the United States has led in creating companies, creating jobs, because we've had the best intellectual-property system--there's no doubt about that in my mind, and when people say they want to be the most competitive economy, they've got to have the incentive system. Intellectual property is the incentive system for the products of the future."

Link (Thanks, Rick Prelinger, and Nathan Slaughter).

BB reader Matt Bradley said, "Obviously, what we need is a large red flag with a gold copyleft in the upper left, replacing the hammer and sickle."

That sounded like a fine idea, so I whipped up the icon you see here. Enjoy, comrades!

what a total (intellectual) disappointment this man is

If I had the time, and the money, I'd do the deep analysis that it would take to explain to myself why it is I constantly hope to be surprised by Mr. Gates. Yet I never am.

It's one thing to read this sort of thing from a studio exec, or head of a record label -- surrounded as they are by the sort that surround them. But the people I've met at Microsoft are miles beyond this sort of silliness. Does Mr. Gates not even talk to them?

More Gates "Creative Commies" propaganda on Boing Boing.

I'd be interested to know why Larry expected to be positively surprised by Mr. Gates.

It's not really a conference, they're classes, taught mostly by people I know, who I've never seen teach. And they're good.

It's the opposite of my ideal for a conference, a teacher is like a super-speaker, but they do it so well, it's a pleasure to participate. It's been 27 years since I was in a classroom as a student. I forgot how good it can be.

Lessig, Zittrain, Fisher, Benkler. Great stuff. Glad I went. This morning it's Fisher and Nesson, then Lessig, Benkler and Nesson again.

The Fight Between Sharing Culture And
Owning Culture

The Fight Between Sharing Culture And
Owning Culture 06/22/2005 02:17 AM
It seems that museums are finally starting to realize that the digital age represents a real opportunity for them to reach many new people by digitizing their offerings and sharing the culture they represent across a much wider audience than a physical museum allows. It seems that many museums are having trouble figuring out how to digitize their collections, and would welcome help in doing so. However, another story points out how that can cause problems when the people involved get stuck on intellectual property issues. Apparently some people who created 3D digital versions of Michelangelo's David are freaking out that if they share the digitization without some form of copy protection people might (gasp!) share it without permission. Wait a second... isn't that what they should want? That would allow them to share the cultural wonder with many, many more people, and allow them to experience it in ways never possible before. That's a good thing, not something to be worried about. However, in an age where people seem to think that every idea, concept, software or piece of data needs to be "owned" and locked up, apparently it's the natural response -- and that's unfortunate for every culture.

Anti-Gmail Bill Now Allows Gmail

Anti-Gmail Bill Now Allows Gmail 05/26/2004 01:35 PM
Last month there was a lot of talk about the somewhat clueless move by a California politician to create a law that would ban Google's Gmail offering, despite the fact that it was completely optional to use. It appears that enough people (probably including those at Google itself) sat down with State Senator Liz Figueroa to explain how email works, and have convinced her to tone down the bill so that it now allows Gmail. That's right, the anti-Gmail bill now has loopholes that specifically allow Gmail. In other words, Senator Figueroa seems to have realized just how pointless the bill was in the first place and is trying to save face by adjusting it so that it still seems to have a purpose: banning a bunch of things that no one was doing, like having humans read the content of your emails to put in advertising.

Dear Roger "Fatty" Clemens

Dear Roger "Fatty" Clemens 07/13/2004 12:29 PM
Today in Slate, an open letter to former Red Sox pitcher (and tonight's starter for the National League in the All-Star Game) Roger Clemens, Roger and Me: Why I hate the greatest pitcher of all time. But here's the real problem with your behavior: Fans like to think that players are giving it their all. All the time. I like to think that, anyway. But then I'm just a simple, good-hearted man, a man who wants to believe in heroes. How can I believe in heroes, Mr. Clemens, when the world is home to people like you? It's clear that you just try hard when you feel like it. Sadly that seems to be the general state in sports these days, and why I tend to be a big fan of the hustlers still making names for themselves. I can relate to the author's anger. Also he calls The Rocket, "wicked fat." Ha ha ha. What is it with ballplayers? They're like the fattest professional athletes, with so many guts and bellies. I mean, if you're a nose guard, sure you've got a gut. But you're not supposed to dive and make a catch and run between bases. Wicked fat. Ha.

Roger Wood documentary footage

Roger Wood documentary footage 09/08/2004 08:06 PM
Cory Doctorow: The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Zed show has done a segment on my pal Roger Wood, the mad assemblage clockmaker.

Roger Wood creates with time in mind. Yet even though the clock can be a consistent element of his work, it's often secondary to its creation. Whether it's a curious timepiece or a unique assemblage, Wood thrives on working with an immeasurable array of findings from the tarnished and forgotten to the odd or intriquing. He is a devoted collector of usual and unusual objects with one thing in common, a history.

The source of his inspiration lies in the hundreds of curiously labelled drawers and boxes brimming with artifacts of all description that line the shelves of his Toronto studio. Wood orchestrates an arrangement from his myriad of treasures until the precise moment that it feels right. Then he quickly glues them all down so they can't escape.

Playful, wondrous timepieces emerge that take flight on cherubic wings, float and sway on fine wires, or appear frozen mid-explosion with flying springs and cogs that bounce at the touch.

Cory Doctorow: My friend Roger Wood is a brilliant sculptor who combines kitsch junk, industrial detritus and other bits and pieces to make working clocks/assemblages. Here's his latest, which combines a class Sputnik-style sunburst clock -- I'm speechless with desire. Link

Roger Wood clock with laundry

Roger Wood clock with laundry 03/30/2005 04:32 AM
Cory Doctorow: My old neighbor from Toronto, Roger Wood, is an assemblage sculptor who builds whimsical clocks out of old junk. He has a little mailing list for fans of his where he posts photos of today's creation -- and the latest edition really struck my fancy: a wheeled clock with a pastel-tinted laundry line. Gorgeous.

Roger Ailes complaing about Outfoxed

Roger Ailes complaing about Outfoxed 07/25/2004 07:38 PM

Poor poor FOX.

Roger Ailes, Chairman and CEO, Fox News Network

Any news organization that doesn’t support our position on copyright is crazy. Next week, we could take a month’s worth of video from CNN International and do a documentary “Why does CNN hate America?” You wouldn’t even have to do the hatchet job Outfoxed was. You damn well could run it without editing. CNN International, Al-Jazeera and BBC are the same in how they report-mostly that America is wrong and bad. Everybody should stand up and say these people don’t have the right to take our product anymore. They don’t have a right to take a year’s worth of Dan Rather or Ted Koppel and edit it any way they want. It puts journalism at risk.

If someone thinks CNN or Al-Jazeera is doing a bad job, they should say it. Using clips of news programming to criticize a network is totally game I think. Although news has become entertainment, I don't think it should be controlled in the same way that creative content should be. I think that fair use should be applied liberally. The press and the news media should encourage critical debate. I think that a network that has a monopoly on millions of eyeballs should be fair game for documentaries like Outfoxed.
