Brad Sucks... but his 2nd album doesn't!
Brad Sucks is a Creative Commons folk hero musician. He just released his new album, Out of It. Brad says to Boing Boing, "It’s got ten songs, you can pay what you want, it’s available in CD, MP3 & FLAC. There’s no stupid DRM and it’s Creative Commons licensed. CD purchases get instant downloads and the full audio multi-track source will be available."
This, my friends, is the future of music. I love CC and the way it encourages people to create and share and inspire one another. Brad Sucks is a Creative Commons folk hero musician. He just released his new album, Out of It. Brad says to Boing Boing, "It’s g... more -
Copyleft festival: Arezzo capitale della cultura libera
Quattro giorni di dibattiti, incontri, musica e spettacoli per parlare di Copyleft e licenze Creative Commons. Dall’11 al 14 settembre Arezzo sarà la capitale della libera circolazione di idee e del sapere.
La rassegna, organizzata dall’Associazione InProspettiva si svolgerà nelle piazze centrali di Arezzo e vedrà decine di ospiti interagire con il pubblico come il collettivo di scrittori Kai Zen già da tempo impegnato nella diffusione della cultura copyleft, il matematico e informatico Philippe Agrain che parteciperà ad una tavola rotonda sui beni comuni - acqua, farmaci, opere dell’ingegno - o l’esperto di nuovi media Gabriele Lunati che affronterà le tematiche copyleft e le licenze creative commons applicate alla musica.
Nella giornata di domenica 14 settembre avrà luogo anche il barcamp dedicato a new media e citizen journalism. Ampio spazio al dibattito con diverse tavole rotonde dedicate a musica, pubblica amministrazione, prestito bibliotecario, beni comuni, professioni in copyleft.
Ogni giorno drante il festival anche un momento di dibattito con lo spazio Copyleft off a cui partecipano autori e scrittori che non usano la filosofia copyleft, ma accettano il confronto come Giancarlo De Cataldo che presenterà “Nelle Mani Giuste” (ed. Einaudi). Ogni giorno in programma anche presentazioni editoriali (tra gli ospiti Antonella Beccarla, Edizioni Beccogiallo, Salvo Vitale), musica con i dj set di Elettrowave e Homework e spettacoli serali tra cui “Georgofili, una via una strage” di e con Saverio Tommasi, “L’origine del male” di e con C.

Foto Libere da Copyright: Commons - l’Archivio di Flickr

I Radiohead abbracciano Creative Commons
Indipendentemente dai gusti, i Radiohead non possono essere considerati come un gruppo musicale qualsiasi: sia dal punto di vista artistico che da quello personale, i cinque dell’Oxfordshire hanno infatti sempre dimostrato uno stile poco convenzionale.
Dopo aver rotto con le major ed aver provveduto alla distribuzione diretta dell’ultimo album, il gruppo ha compiuto un altro passo in avanti rilasciando con licenza Creative Commons tutti i dati utilizzati per realizzare il video del singolo House of Cards.
Scelta doppiamente coraggiosa quella dei Radiohead, visto che per effettuare le riprese non è stata utilizzata nessuna telecamera “tradizionale”: tutto è stato infatti girato utilizzando tecnologie per la cattura di immagini tridimensionali.
Il risultato lo potete ammirare dopo il salto, accompagnato anche dal dietro-le-quinte. Indipendentemente dai gusti, i Radiohead non possono essere considerati come un gruppo musicale qualsiasi: sia dal punto di vista arti... more -

Crystal Castles abuses creative commons license
"The latest episode combines 8-bit musical plagiarism with an abuse of Creative Commons licenses. Crystal Castles is a Toronto-based band that’s gotten quite a lot of positive press for their use of 8-bit sounds, including a keyboard with an Atari chip. (And there’s the source of the problem: this stuff is "hot" partly because it’s novel to mainstream press.)
Unfortunately, some of Crystal Castles’ sound apparently isn’t their their own.
8-bit collective again noticed something is amiss, this time with their track "Insecticon." Far from simply sampling a track, the tune rearranges entire musical contents as the basis of the new tune. (Many in the 8-bit collective community at least claim they’re pro-sampling.)
There’s a difference in this case, though: the tune in question is Creative Commons-licensed. It’s possible Crystal Castles thought, incorrectly, that that meant "free." However, the CC license used specifically requires attribution, non-commercial use, and that the derivative work be released under the same license — that’s three strikes against Crystal Castles. The GPL license used in open source software has similar stipulations, and neither license means something isn’t protected by copyright law — the maker of something is still the copyright holder, and uses those rights to define the way in which they want their work used and shared."
