Mike Linksvayer

  • FWIW my slides from yesterday's
    EFF/CC panel are online at http://mirrors.creativecommons.org/netsquared
  • http://mirrors.creativecommons.orrg/getcreative is generally the best intro
  • For people with time and interest to read I suggest giving them a copy of "Free Culture" by Lawrence Lessig, which covers a lot more than CC, but is a great intro to thewhole set
  • showing off reuse is really important to demonstrate the power ofcc/free culture we've built sort of a CMS platform explicitly forencouraging and tracking remixes -- http://wiki.creativecommons.org/CcHost
  • http://ccmixter.org is a tool for tracking remixes
  • nonprofits using CC to the greater good: http://creativecommons.org/weblog/PLoS is a stellarexample, as is MIT's OpenCourseWare and Rice Connexions; I believe OpenDemocracy isusing CC licenses for their content; Ethan Zuckerman's blog, which uses our most liberal license, http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/ -- you just have to give him credit
  • http://creativecommons.org/license/regarding nonprofit remixcontests, firefox flicks is probably the best example I can think of offthe top of my head
  • regarding most common
    licneses, check out http://wiki.creativecommons.org/License_statistics
  • Though not a remix contest per se, the 100second Film Festival (http://100second.ltc.org/) is composed entirely of Creatively Commoned entries, and through the DigitalBicycle all entries can be downloaded and recurated into new, local screenings
  • (the DigitalBicycle) created a CreativeCommons module for Drupal for this purpose http://drupal.org/node/17497/
  • aggregation sites, see: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Content_Curators for an incomplete list
  • I'll refer to our draft Noncommercial guidelines, check
    out http://wiki.creativecommons.org/NonCommercial_Guidelines
  • The CC Drupal module is great, thanks for that.http://microformats.org/wiki/rellicense
  • if you care about rdf triples... see http://rdfa.info 
  • regarding an archive of best practices, not per se, though we do have a wiki http://wiki.creativecommons.org
  • check out http://magnatune.com
  • and http://jamendo.com for music, etc ... much more at
