[For slides see post page] Last year, Cultural Commons Collecting Society (C3S) submitted an entry to SXSW’s Panel Picker. You may remember our call to arms to help vote for us in late August. Actually, and only with the help of our supporters, we made it.

The session “C3S: Putting the Revenue in Creative Commons” has been held last week on Wednesday. It’s an introduction to why it’s not reasonable but longtime overdue to launch a collecting society based on Creative Commons, new technology and a democratic foundation.

The most current blog post features Tanner Galvin, a so called “circuit bender” from Portland, Oregon. More exactly, it’s the short documentary about Tanner, filmed by Craig Mederios. As Tanner himself describes it, by circuit bending you repurpose electronic circuits in a way they are not meant to be used. So he turns given up plastic toys into unique works of audio art.

“SpaceNight” und Creative Commons: Wie das Zusammenspiel aussehen kann.

February 20, 2013

Tobias Schwarz macht’s öffentlich: Der Bayerische Rundfunk startet im Herbst wieder seine Reihe “SpaceNight” – aber nach einer Umgestaltung des Konzepts. Dass ein Kernstück des Re-Launchs die durchgängige Verwendung von Musik unter Creative-Commons-Lizenzen ist, freut mich und die Netaudio-Szene natürlich insbesondere. Gemeinsam mit anderen Kollegen der C3S (Cultural Commons Collecting Society) hatte ich – wie wohl so ziemlich jeder, der CC-Musik auch nur ein wenig kennt – genau diesen Schritt als naheliegende Alternative vorgeschlagen (Facebook Link). Explizit formuliert hat es Christian Grasse in seinem öffentlichen Brief an den zuständigen Redakteur Werner Reuß des Bayrischen Rundfunks. Ebenso wie Christian würde ich [...]
