Creative Commons: Take another little piece of my Art
Fazendo um trocadilho com a canção de Jonis Joplin, no site da
Creative Commons está um
artigo que explica o modo de funcionamento desta licença de obras artísticas digitais, fazendo referência à exposição
Illegal Art, a decorrer até ao dia 25 de Julho na
Galeria dos Artistas do Museu de Arte Moderna de São Francisco. Aliás, ao ler o texto deu-me uma vontade tão irresístivel de ouvir a canção da Pearl que fui ao
Lopster fazer o seu
download... Esta música só irá entrar no domínio público em 2040, creio eu de que...
Creative Commons licensing is in one sense a pragmatic solution to copyright's ills. Artists who want to license their works can easily express their preferences in a way that others can identify and trust. In this way, Creative Commons licensing has enabled collaborations that might otherwise require a lawyer and a dozen inquiries. For example, Colin Mutchler submitted "My Life," an acoutic guitar song, to Opsound, a music registry that requires Attribution-Share Alike licensing; Cora Beth, a total stranger to Colin, then layered a violin onto the song to make "My Life Changed." No copyright lawyers were consulted—or harmed—in the process.
In another sense, Creative Commons licensing is symbolic. It shows that there are alternatives to the current legal regime are possible. Artists can create a world where the law meets their expectations about legitimate appropriations—where museums and sterile McMash-Up contests aren't the only places to see new kinds of art.

Hi
We are an Open Source/Art Libre record label based in Brighton in the UK.
We have been going for quite a while so drop by and have a look.
http://www.locarecords.com
We have come across a fair number of people setting up Open Music projects but they are all virtual whereas we take a great deal of pride in *actually* releasing onto Vinyl and CD. So yes you can buy our music in the shops. And you can read the Open Source/Art Libre license to know how free you are to do what you like with it!!
Cheers
LOCA
