Creative Commons needs you

Posted on | November 13, 2008 | No Comments

Received a newsletter-communication yesterday from Stanford University professor and copyright activist – and perhaps most notably former Creative Commons chief – Lawrence Lessig leading my attention towards the Creative Commons fundraiser taking place right now. The Commons are dependent on our funding – in order to continue their tireless efforts to offer a strong alternative to proprietary thinking.

“Please help us in this. Whatever you can give is important. (…) Do what you can. Get 6 friends to do the same. We’ve been depending on small donations long before America could spell “Obama.” And we depend upon those donations still.”

Please visit http://support.creativecommons.org/join and support Creative Commons today.
Also, I recommend adding both Lessig’s news- and blogfeed to your rss-reader.

On a sidenote, another fave blog of mine, Open Media Review, also posted on this issue. While you are at it adding the Lessig-feeds, take this one too.

Last reference on this issue: Feel free to visit my own Creative Commons-licensed record label, Urlyd Records, and download the free music.

What is Creative Commons?

“Creative Commons defines the spectrum of possibilities between full copyright — all rights reserved — and the public domain — no rights reserved. Our licenses help you keep your copyright while inviting certain uses of your work — a “some rights reserved” copyright.” (from the CC website). Read more.
