Whoa. People I know are in the Apple Music store. I can pay to download last year's Fray Cafe and the 2001 Fray too (I can buy Lance Arthur and Mena Trott for 99 cents!). The Brad Sucks album is there too (psst: you can download it from his site for free, and it's unencrypted or buy the CD direct from him like I did). I even see a search for "Scott Andrew" is turning a song up from the Fray CD, with hopefully more to come.

CC-Brazil!

CC-Brazil! 06/03/2004 01:50 PM

Legal ports to Brazilian law of Creative Commons 2.0 licenses are now live.

Commoners Glenn Otis Brown and Neeru Paharia are at Software Livre 2004 in Porto Alegre for the launch celebration. Chairman Lawrence Lessig will arrive later this week for the official announcement, which will be led by Brazilian Minister of Culture Gilberto Gil.

Thanks to iCommons partner institution Fundação Getulio Vargas' Law School in Rio de Janeiro and project lead Ronaldo Lemos da Silva Júnior for making CC-Brazil a reality.

Brazil Re-cap

Brazil Re-cap 06/07/2004 06:52 PM

A few more words about the iCommons Brazil launch. It is hard to do the event justice. It was completely overwhelming, a true celebration, and we've only now recovered from the whole thing and regrouped.

As you know, iCommons Brazil made its debut at the 5th Annual Software Livre conference in Porto Alegre. An afternoon plenary, attended by an audience of about 1000, was the stage for the announcement.

Claudio Prado, Coordinator of Digital Culture of the Ministry of Culture of Brazil and one of the visionaries behind Brazil's many tech initiatives, moderated the dozen-or-so panelists. The first to speak was Joaquim Falcao, Dean of FGV Law School, iCommons Brazil's lead institution. Prof. Falcao told a story about Amerigo Vespucci, the explorer, and his famed correspondence from his travels in the "New World." Vespucci's letters gained life, and a broad and prominent readership (including Sir Thomas More and Machiavelli), only as his readers and re-publishers began to build upon his letters. Some added illustrations to Vespucci's original text. Others translated the Italian into Latin. Someone gave the collection of letters a zippy new title. In an early example of adaptation, Thomas More drew from Vespucci in writing his Utopia. So central were the letters to the early identity of the land that it later became his namesake. But not before being feminized (that is, once again re-tooled): America. In the modern age of maximalist copyright, said Joaquim, such collective authorship would stand little chance.

Lawrence Lessig followed Falcao on the dais. (You may recall that Lessig has allowed free derivatives of his new book Free Culture, and that a downright Vespuccian flourishing of formats has resulted.) Lessig stirred the crowd with a theme ("free speech, free markets, free software, free culture, free will"), marveled over the conference's teeming enthusiasm for software livre, and said the U.S. should learn to follow Brazil's example in the field.

Next came Ronaldo Lemos, iCommons Brazil's leader and director of FGV Law School's Center for Technology and Society. Ronaldo introduced the excellent Portuguese versions of Get Creative and Reticulum Rex, and I giddily watched from the cheap seats, high-fiving FGV staffer Jorge Rosa, who along with Ronaldo, Carlos Affonso de Souza, and Bruno Magrani, translated the cartoons.

Ronaldo explained the natural match between Creative Commons and Brazil, noting that CC's collaborative ethos echoes that of Tropicalism, an artistic and political movement of the '60s and '70s that celebrated Brazilian culture as a hodgepodge of high and low, indigenous and import, old and new. Ronaldo then announced the retirement of the name "Sampling license" and the birth of Recombo, a change I explained in an earlier post.

Berkman Center faculty director William Fisher also spoke, sketching out the many possible futures of music online and putting the day's events in context. Linux International president Jon Maddog Hall received the warmest audience welcome . . . until Minister Gilberto Gil, delayed by a cabinet meeting in Brasilia, entered the massive room from the back and made his way up the center aisle like a prizefigher approaching the ring, waves of body guards, flashbulbs, and admirers trailing him. Gil took the stage and shook Maddog's hand. Maddog wrapped up his address -- about the birth of the piano as open-source instrument, among other things -- and received a standing ovation. (Read Maddog's account of the conference.)

Minister Gil then spoke, waxing eloquent about technology and culture and even performing a dramatic reading of John Perry Barlow's "Selling Wine Without Bottles." A handful of speakers followed Gil, among them my friend and free software force Marcelo Branco and anthropologist/music expert Hermano Vianna, and the session concluded with Gil's ceremonial signing of the Recombo license as his song "Oslodum" played over the PA.

Later Gil rocked the Santander Cultural Center in downtown Porto Alegre with a powerful show: classic crowd pleasers (e.g. "Aquele Abraco"), a cleverly re-arranged Marley cover or two, and plenty of audience participation. VJ Pixel poured psychedelic images across the stage, including some mind-bending manipulations of the Creative Commons animations and icons (Ryan Junell's original handiwork). It was an amazing media moment when Gil's live image hovered on the wall alongside his animated likeness, from Reticulum Rex, as the crowd danced with abandon.

Finally, a Creative Commons camera crew was onhand to capture all the action. We'll keep you posted on the short video we'll produce from the event. In the meantime, we cannot thank the iCommons Brazil team, the Software Livre conference participants, and Mr. Gil enough.

(Here's another account, if you read Portuguese.)

Recombo Brazil

Recombo Brazil 06/04/2004 03:39 PM

In about an hour the official launch celebration of Creative Commons Brazil will begin. Neeru and I are here at the 5th Annual Software Livre conference in Porto Alegre with the iCommons Brazil team from Rio's FGV Law School, as well as William Fisher, faculty director of Harvard Law School's Berkman Center. Our chairman, Lawrence Lessig, arrives shortly. The event will feature addresses by Lessig, Fisher, Jon Maddog Hall, FGV dean Joaquim Arruda Falcao, and many more, plus the debut of FGV's Portuguese translations of the Creative Commons animations. (Watch them now. They're totally amazing.) And for the grand finale, Minister of Culture Gilberto Gil will officially release a few of his songs under the License Formerly Known as Sampling, which, from this moment forward, will be called Recombo, a name inspired by the Brazilian art collective re:combo. Minister Gil was in Lisbon last week, playing with Paul McCartney and others, and just earlier this week he inaugurated the Brazil v. Argentina futebol match with song on national television. Needless to say we are humbled and thrilled beyond belief to have him preside over this important day. And as if that weren't enough, Mr. Gil is playing a live show later tonight. Recombo-licensed songs will be featured.

Brazil offers two gifts to the world today: Recombo creativity, and the music of Gilberto Gil.

More soon. Stay tuned.

Do the Recombo. In Brazil. Now. Again.

Do the Recombo. In Brazil. Now. Again. 07/15/2004 03:11 AM

Renaldo "Recombo" Lemos of Creative Commons Brazil reports more good news:

"Following the same steps of Gilberto Gil and Mombojo, the Brazilian electronic group Gerador Zero has decided to go Recombo. Gerador Zero is one of the most inventive music projects in Brazil. Fabio FZero, their mastermind, has managed to create music that is hard to define. They combine elements of rock, pop and electronica in a smart way, without pre-conceived ideas or formulas. Everything very Brazilian, but universal at the same time. They have just release a new EP, called #!/bin/bash, which is now available online. Everyone is now welcome to do the Recombo with their music."

Who will be the first, or the best, or both, to do the Recombo with Gerador Zero and Mombojo? Voce, talvez?

Mash them up, sample them, take another little piece of their art.

Whoa, dude. It's like I can hear the colors . . . on, like, my skin!

Do the Recombo. In Brazil. Now.

Do the Recombo. In Brazil. Now. 07/06/2004 12:19 AM

Ronaldo Lemos, project lead extraordinaire of Creative Commons Brazil, reports:

Mombojó is one of the most interesting new bands in Brazil. They mix traditional Brazilian music like samba and bossa nova with electronic beats and rock. Their album, "Nadadenovo" (meaning: "nothing new"), is available online at www.mombojo.com.br. Even if they say there is "nothing new" about their music, that is not true. They are responsible for indicating new bold directions to Brazilian music.

Mombojó is an enthusiast of the Creative Commons. They have just announced that one of their tracks, "Nem Parece," is now under the Recombo Plus license. They will be releasing three other tracks under the Recombo Plus, one each month. They have also licensed their first video, "Cabidela," under Recombo. And everything can be found online.

Last, but not least, Mombojó works closely with Re:Combo, the pioneer Brazilian collective that inspired Creative Commons to rename its "sampling" license "Recombo."

Radical. Now everyone get out there and do the Recombo.

CC Brazil: The Movie

Earlier this spring, Creative Commons staff went down to Brazil to oversee the launch of one of the first country-specific licenses. There was a big event attended by Gilberto Gil, the Minister of Culture for Brazil, and a film crew followed everyone around for a couple days. The result is a nice little 11 minute film on the process of the licenses, the impact it could have on their culture, and reactions from the launch event. Watch it at the Internet Archive, and if you have your own videos like this to share, be sure to try out our CC Publisher app to add your films to the Archive as well.

Scene from Brazil

Scene from Brazil 04/06/2005 05:27 PM

« A full moon hangs over the power tower in Töölö. I've always thought this building has a striking visual effect since the signs are all the same colour, which is unusual, but they converge on adjacent sides of the building. Maybe it's only because I usually see the building when I'm drunk and snarfing food from the Jaskan Grilli across the street. »

Otava kept us up most of the night as his itchy-scratchy condition reached critical mass. The HU Vet Clinic couldn't give him an appointment for two weeks so we had to find someone who would see him ASAP. I spent my afternoon at the vet and dragging my ass to the pet store for a new giant bag of food and to the pharmacy for some medications. First we try a medicated shampoo and topical pesticide in case it is caused by microscopic mites, otherwise we will have to start hunting down the allergen which could be a long, tedious process. But, for now, he's sleeping comfortably without itching and whining which is a major improvement for us all.

While I was waiting in the pharmacy, I was looking at the cute doggie lunchbox that the pet shop gave to me for buying the giant bag of food which opens into two bowls with a water bottle and a food compartment when some nice old guy sat down next to me and started chatting me up about how a metal one would be better and such. I was so tired that I just smiled and nodded since I don't think I could have made conversation even in English. The pharmacy downtown is straight out of a scene from the movie Brazil with the cascades of pneumatic tubes that transport fresh drugs from the basement up to the awaiting customers.

Sean Burke made my evening last night when he pointed out one of the best reads I've had in a while: Dab blers and Blowhards. Even if you're not a geek or one of the incestuous digerati who will find this cutting a little too close to the bone if they read carefully it's a fun read. I remember distinctly when my bullshit-o-meter pegged on 11 when Tim O'Reilly and bunch of others as OSCON one year were starting to go on about how programmers were really artists and could be funded by patrons of the art of programming, etc. I imagine we were drunk, possibly stoned, and still it seemed like an incredibly pretentious way to put a good face on dot.bomb unemployment. The downside of the essay is that we are reminded of ESR's treatise on oral sex for geeks at the end. Hurrr.
