Film Annex 發表了六個專播 Creative Commons 授權影片的網路電視頻道

CC Taiwan, November 03, 2009 05:43 AM   License: 姓名標示-相同方式分享 2.0 台灣

紐約的 Film Annex 是一個專為獨立的影片製作者,及對獨立製作的影片有興趣的人提供的分享平台。以網路電視播放及線上影片出版的角色,Film Annex 突破從前大股東及廠商投資拍電影的模式,改以影片觀看者直接資助影片製作者的模式,成功地使全球的電影網絡,無論是電影愛好者、地下電影創作者、演員、電影社群、還是電影人才發掘者均得以輕易且直接地被串聯起來。 Film Annex 近日開設了六個新網路電視(Web TV)頻道,24小時分別不斷地播送「姓名標示」、「姓名標示-相同方式分享」、「姓名標示-禁止改作」、「姓名標示-非商業性」、「姓名標示-非商業性-相同方式分享」及「姓名標示-非商業性-禁止改作」授權的影片。為了鼓勵影片供應者使用CC授權釋出其內容,Film Annex 還修改了它們的網路平台,以提供使用者上傳影片時可從六個不同的CC授權中選擇一個CC授權的功能。使用者一旦選妥自製影片的授權後,此影片即可自動在授權所對應到的頻道播放。 Film Annex的創始人兼董事長Francesco Rulli說:「分享的概念很可惜地長期被許多人、公司及單位忽視。缺乏分享將限制發展及轉變。Creative Commons幫助人們在不忽視著作權的規則下,建立並分享他們的創作。我認為想要教育或娛樂大眾的創作者是社會中極重要的資產,因此他們將是組成 Film Annex 的一部分。」 50%的廣告收益 Film Annex 將資助 Creative Commons 的發展;提供Creative Commons授權影片的內容提供者亦將獲得部分回饋。 View Gran Turismo 5 Prologue - Weezer Automatic Remix 就是一部由 Siliconeratv 上傳至Film Annex,介紹Sony...

A veces explicar qué son las licencias Creative Commons (CC) es algo más complicado de lo que creemos. Por eso, hay muchos videos cortos y explicativos que esperan dejar claro el concepto. Y CC ha reunido algunos en la web Creative Commons Movies. ¿Lo malo? Que están en inglés y portugués. ¿Lo bueno? Que los puedes descargar y agregar la traducción en español que tanto necesitamos.

SWR 2 Wissen: “Gemein-Freiheit – Vorboten einer freien digitalen Kultur”

CC Germany, November 02, 2009 08:50 PM   License: Namensnennung 2.0 Deutschland

Der Südwest-Rundfunk hat ein Feature über die im beginnenden digitalen Zeitalter zu beobachtenden Paradigmenwechsel zum “geistigen Eigentum” produziert. Auch Creative Commons als Modell und rechtliches Werkzeug kommt darin vor.

Im Hinweistext zur Sendung heißt es u.a.:

(…) Denn die Vision einer freien digitalen Kultur rüttelt am Wertesystem, das sich auf den Buchdruck gründet und aus geistigen Werken besteht, die oft nur Einzelne besitzen. Sie verweist auf eine überlieferte Metapher: Die jeweils lebende Generation steht auf den “Schultern von Riesen”. Das heißt, alle Menschen schöpfen unentwegt aus dem kulturellen Erbe und arbeiten mit ihren Ideen und Werken daran weiter.

Die Sendung ist mit viel Kompetenz gemacht worden und daher durchaus als MP3 nachhörens- bzw. als Manuskript nachlesenswert.

創用CC授權條款3.0台灣版已經在2009.10.31正式上線

CC Taiwan, November 02, 2009 03:07 AM   License: 姓名標示-相同方式分享 2.0 台灣

在經過多次審慎檢查以及專家諮詢後,我們於2009年5月26日正式在網路上公開「創用CC授權條款 3.0 台 灣版」預演版。這幾個月的時間,我們廣納與蒐集了大家的意見後,又再度作了細微的修改,並且與 Creative Commons 位於舊金山的總部經過好幾次的聯繫、確認後,創用CC授權條款3.0台灣版終於完成本 地化的工作了。此次3.0版本與之前的版本有些許的更動,其中的細節可以參閱《創用CC電子報》第三十 八期由林懿萱小姐撰寫的專文〈創用CC授權條款3.0台灣華語版面世前之先行導讀〉一文。我們已於2009 年10月31日完成正式上線的工作,歡迎大家上網了解、使用、並繼續支持創用CC授權。 再次提醒大家的是,創用CC授權條款3.0臺灣版的誕生,僅是因應全球創用CC授權使用社群的意見回應所 做的變動,提供給大家多一種選項;亦即是以使用者意願為基礎的進階版授權條款。也因此,已使用創用 CC授權2.5版或以前版本釋出著作的權利人,不需要擔心會在權利義務上因為3.0版的問世而產生變化。比 較值得注意的是,若您採用創用CC授權2.0版以及2.5版含有「相同方式分享」的授權要素釋出著作,未來 使用人改作你的著作再次繼續分享給他人時,是可以選擇具有相同授權要素的後續版本,因此採用3.0版是沒有問題的。 (本篇網誌係由創用CC計畫所有編輯群共同編寫)...

開放課程計畫的合理使用最佳實踐報告

CC Taiwan, October 30, 2009 01:26 PM   License: 姓名標示-相同方式分享 2.0 台灣

美國大學的社會媒體研究中心(The Center for Social Media at School of Communication American University)於2009年10月發佈OpenCourseWare的「合理使用最佳實踐報告(Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for OpenCourseWare)」,此報告是由美國大學的社會媒體研究中心的研究學者與來自約翰霍普金斯大學彭博公共衛生學院、麻省理工學院、塔夫斯大學、密西根大學、耶魯大學等開放課程計畫(OpenCourseWare)委員會之委員共同制訂。此報告的目標在於協助美國教育組織的開放課程計畫設計者辨認何種情況可以適用合理使用、何種情形必須獲得第三方權利人同意才可以利用、並整合、公開於開放課程計畫中。   在台灣,如何運用「合理使用制度」也一直讓想要利用並整合進他人著作的教育工作者有同樣的困擾,若不了解如何運用合理使用制度,使用者可能會因為避免侵害他人權利而放棄使用一些很棒的教育素材,而弱化開放課程的品質。因此,本篇報告首先整理出一般教育工作者對於著作權的一些困擾,例如:擔心在著作中放入他人的商標權、對於著作權有過度保守的分析、過度強調開放課程提供者的責任、低估著作權的範圍、不了解著作權所保護的範圍、錯估合理使用的範圍等。並且舉出了許多種情況,直接探討其原則與限制,不過由於該報告是在美國的著作權法體系下來探討合理使用制度,因此若是臺灣的民眾,想要援引合理使用制度,還是需要了解臺灣的法律,詳細可參考智慧局網站的著作權合理使用。 其他連結:Yes, You Can Use Copyrighted Material in Your Open Courseware新聞稿...

MozCC 在 Jetpack 裡重生:JetCC

在弄 ccZotero 時,網頁裡後設資料皆經由 ccMetaView (MozCC 的一部份) 擷取而來。ccMetaView 的目標是要能夠抓到各式相關的後設資料格式 (而不論是否與 CC 相關),這是好事,不過如果就真的只想抓 CC 的後設資料、是否有跟 MozCC 1.0 一樣的簡單套件呢?又,Firefox 的 API 隨著版本演進而變,而就 CC 總部投注在 MozCC 上的資源,顯然不足以隨著版本變動而更新,是否有更能快速修改的東西呢? 之前提過,我最近花比較多時間玩 Jetpack,所以在想到這些後,就把腦筋動到 Jetpack 上。這種單純的架構果然是實作簡單套件的最佳方式,只花了一點點時間、就把這個 Jetpack feature: JetCC 做出來了。 安裝 JetCC 之後,在狀態列上會顯示目前網頁的授權方式,點選之後則會帶你前往授權條款的說明頁面。其實一切就與 MozCC 1.0 差不多,這也是我覺得比較「輕量」的方式。 拜 HTML...

ABC News adds to the... corpses!

zombie hands by zenobia_joy Creative Commons License

A quick update to the post below about ABC News contributing the the global commons of reusable content and to the pile of decaying corpses at ABC Pool's The Dead Walk! group.

ABC has officially released its first professional news footage shot for the project. All three segments released by the ABC are available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 3.0 Unported licence. You can get them from the ABC News profile on Pool.

The sad news coming out of the project, however, is that Australian horror author Robert Hood has been eaten by a pack of zombies while recording the trailer BrokenSea Audio Production's upcoming audio drama Zombie Cheerleaders 2: Pom-Poms of Death. See Gary Kemble's news post for the full story.

Although everyone loves archives footage, it is fantastic to see the ABC compliment their recent releases in that area with contemporary broadcast footage.

An Australian news first as The Dead Walk at ABC Pool

How about a ride lady? by Giulio Saggin Creative Commons License

In an Australian first, the ABC is releasing raw news footage under CC - and its of zombies!

As a joint project with the ABC's collaborative webspace, Pool, ABC News Online is uploading the audio, video and photos from its coverage of the Brisbane Zombie Walk under a CC licence for people to mash up, remix and generally have fun with. [NB - for the time being only logged in users can see licensing information for material on Pool. It's a bug that Pool are fixing]

And to get people going, Pool has launched a dedicated The Dead Walk group and have made a call out for people to upload their own material and combine it with the news footage to tell their story of how they survived the zombie apocalypse. The best material will be featured on ABC News Online.

While this is all a bit of undead fun, it's also a pretty impressive milestone in the ABC's ongoing efforts to embrace the Gov2.0 movement give it resources back to the people who fund it - you!
<!--break-->
From the Pool posting:

Zombies. They stink, they rot, they want to eat your brains. In short, they don't have much going for them! Why is it then that every year, thousands of people hit the streets dressed up as them? Maybe it's because zombies are such social creatures. Whenever you see them, they're always milling around, hunting like a pack of shambling wolves, or sharing a meal. So what better subject matter for such a social place as Pool.

ABC News Online will upload raw audio, video and photos from the Brisbane Zombie Walk to the Pool Dead Walk! group. You're free to use this content as a starting point, or for remixes and mash-ups.

But we also want to hear from you. Are you a zombie lurcher? If so, why - what do you get out of it? Have you ever seen a zombie walk/lurch and what did you make of it? If you went to the Brisbane Zombie Walk, we'd love you to share your photos, video, audio and anecdotes.

The footage is already going up - we've got zombie babies, zombie dogs and zombie Santas - with more planned to be uploaded over the next few days.

So get mashing. Brains not included.

correction: the image above was initially incorrectly identified as being by Gary Kemble. It is actually by Giulio Saggin of ABC News Online.

How to Open Business Seminar to be held in Seoul

CC Korea (English), October 25, 2009 11:34 PM   License: 저작자표시 2.0 대한민국

Open Culture meets Business - How to Open Business Seminar to be held on Nov 13, 2009

Open culture can not only create public value but also generate business opportunities. Aiming at providing a strategic approach to developing new open-based business models, Creative Commons Korea holds "How to Open Business" seminar in Seoul on November 13, 2009. In the seminar, various open-based business models will be presented through examples while attendees will have the opportunity to identify new business models of their own.

The one-day event will start with the opening remarks by Prof. Jinsup Jung, chief of CC Korea, to be followed by the keynote speech by Sangki Steve Han, the Graduate School of Culture Technology of the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology.

CC Korea staff Su-jeong Han will give a general introduction on open business strategies through practical examples and case studies. The seminar will be highlighted by two well recognized international figures: Sylvain Zimmer, founder and CTO of Jamendo, and Chiaki Hayashi, founder and PMO of Loftwork, will share their valuable knowledge and experience about developing a viable and profitable business model based on open culture.

Double Deck, a Korean digital music performance group, will also rock the audience with their powerful live performance. Double Deck is one of the first Korean musicians who shared their works under creative commons licenses.

The final session of the event is "Open Business Speech," where anyone can present their open business ideas and be given the rare opportunity to receive consultation and business advice from established experts from various fields.

On the following day, the seminar presenters will also be joined by those who share the value of open culture in the CC Salon. Guests from different industries such as music, design, technology and business will share their views and experience on a variety of issues related to open culture and have in-depth discussions on open business models in various areas including music and art.

Register van de Dag van Gister

CC Netherlands, October 21, 2009 12:57 PM   License: Naamsvermelding 3.0 Nederland

Hoe beleefden mensen in Zuid-Holland de grote storm van 1953? Op het Register van de Dag van Gister is het verhaal van Adriaan Oosterwijk te beluisteren; hij vertelt wat er gebeurde in 1953. Naast dramatische gebeurtenissen zoals de storm van 1953, de Tweede Wereldoorlog zijn er op het register ook verhalen te vinden over het leven van alledag, over werk, sport en muziek. Zo vertelt Kees Pluimgraaf over zijn deelname aan de Elfstedentocht in 1956. Op zeventienjarige leeftijd reisde hij naar Friesland om in barre kou de tocht te rijden.

Het project heeft als doelstelling herinneringen van ouderen vast te leggen voor de toekomst en voor iedereen toegankelijk te maken via de website www.gister.nl. Ouderen kunnen terecht in bibliotheken in Noord- en Zuid-Holland om hun verhalen vast te leggen. Via het ‘Verhalenkabinet’ kunnen ze hun verhaal inspreken, foto’s, documenten en geschreven verhalen uploaden.

Alle verhalen en beeldmateriaal zijn beschikbaar gemaakt onder een CC Licentie. Het project Register van de Dag van Gister is ontwikkeld door Kunstgebouw, Cultureel Erfgoed Noord-Holland, ProBiblio, en Waag Society.

GEMA vor der Selbstauflösung?

CC Germany, October 13, 2009 06:12 PM   License: Namensnennung 2.0 Deutschland

Beim Camp der all2gethernow in Berlin im September diesen Jahres war schon bei der allerersten Diskussionsrunde “Verwertungsgesellschaften und alternative Lizenzen” eine gänzlich ungewohnte GEMA zu erleben gewesen. Deren Justiziar Kilian Steiner hatte nämlich - wenn auch auf tadellosem Englisch - zu verstehen gegeben, dass die GEMA-Offiziellen bereit sind, das gesamte System der altehrwürdigen Gesellschaft auf den Prüfstand zu stellen. Vor dem Hintergrund alternativer Verbreitungs- und Verwertungsmodelle im Netz solle es keine Denkverbote geben, was die Arbeitsweise der GEMA angehe, so Steiner. Das lässt auf einen vernünftigeren Umgang hoffen.

Es gab allerdings am nächsten Tag eine weitere Veranstaltung mit GEMA-Beteiligung, und zwar ein klassisches Panel im Rahmen der Cloud der all2gethernow: Der VUT hatte zusammen mit media.net berlin brandenburg in den Meistersaal am Potsdamer Platz geladen und war auf dem Panel auch mit seinem Vorsitzenden und Freibank-Chef Mark Chung vertreten. Unter juristisch geschulter Moderation hieß das Thema “Musik im Internet - Nadelöhr Rechteerwerb”. Alle Diskutanden schienen dabei mehr oder weniger frei von zurechtgelegten Aussagen drauflos zu sprechen, aber vor allem Alexander Wolf (bei der GEMA u.a. Syndikus für internationale Rechtsfragen) hatte überraschende Antworten parat. 

Das große Problem namens “Split Copyright”

Wer aufgrund des Titels Neuigkeiten dazu erwartet hatte, wie dem Endnutzer möglichst reibungsarm Rechte zur legalen Musiknutzung eingeräumt werden können, wurde enttäuscht. Es ging vielmehr darum, wie die Zwischenhändler der Musikvermarktung am effizientesten die Verwertungsrechte bei den Urhebern einsammeln können (Mark Chung ließ sich denn auch gegen Ende zu der Bemerkung hinreißen, man spreche die ganze Zeit nur über die nicht mal 20% legaler Musiknutzung statt nach neuen Wegen bzgl. der 80% Piraterie zu suchen). Die Diskussion kam so fast zwangsläufig sehr schnell auf das “Split Copyright” zu sprechen. Darunter ist das um sich greifende Phänomen zu verstehen, dass die verschiedenen Rechte an Musiktiteln, also Verbreitungsrecht, Aufführungsrecht, Recht der Online-Zugänglichmachung usw. nicht mehr bei ein oder zwei Institutionen untergebracht und durch diese vergeben werden, sondern bei immer mehr verschiedenen Institutionen liegen.

Schon seit Aufkommen der “Onlinenutzung” (untechnisch ausgedrückt) als anerkannter neuer Nutzungsart in den 90er Jahren hatte die GEMA das Problem, dass die zugehörige Rechtewahrnehmung nach damaliger Rechtslage nicht im Voraus der GEMA übertragen werden konnte. Es mussten also nachträglich alle GEMA-Mitglieder um Übertragung der Online-Wahrnehmung gebeten werden. Der Großteil der so gefragten Mitglieder bzw. ihre Labels und Verlage ging darauf aber nicht ein, so dass die GEMA noch heute viele Titel nicht online verwerten darf. Dann kamen 2005 auch noch die Wettbewerbshüter der EU-Kommission auf die Idee, den Europäischen Verwertungsgesellschaften einen Wettbewerb um Mitglieder zu verordnen.

Umgründung als Ausweg?

Diese Sachlage und auch ein paar weitere Tücken des Online-Geschäfts wurden vom Panel eingehend besprochen. Die Politik der EU sei vollkommen fehlgegangen und außerdem seien die behörden-ähnlichen Strukturen der kollektiven Rechtewahrnehmung in Deutschland, maßgeblich verankert im Urheberrechtswahrnehmungsgesetz, sowieso Schuld daran, dass die GEMA im internationalen Rechtehandel nicht zeitgemäß agieren könne. Die Musikschaffenden und Verleger können und wollen nicht jahrelang auf das Ergebnis von ordnungsgemäßen Tarifverhandlungen warten und stehen daher inzwischen individuell oder in Grüppchen bei iTunes und Nokias Ovi-Store vor der Tür, um möglichst schnell am Internetgeschäft verdienen zu können. Als gegen Mitte der Diskussion die ganze Misere ausgebreitet war, wurde von Moderator Dr. Schaefer die Frage gestellt, ob man nicht die GEMA auflösen und ohne all die ungeliebten Fußfesseln als eine “Online-GEMA” oder etwa ähnliches neugründen sollte. Überraschenderweise ließ Alexander Wolf wissen, dass genau das der richtige Weg sei, und Sony-Mann Patrick Strauch deutete an, dass die Branche bereits erste Ideen für einen neuen übergeordneten Zusammenschluss entwickele.

Die Einschätzung, was im Einzelnen von diesen Aussagen der Panel-Teilnehmer wohl zu halten sein mag, soll an dieser Stelle der interessierten Netzöffentlichkeit ermöglicht werden. Darum gibt es:

  • Einen Mitschnitt der kompletten Diskussion als mp3-File (Achtung, fast 65MB! Wenn jemand spiegeln könnte, wäre das hilfreich)
  • Ein Transkript der 20 Minuten zur Frage, wie es weitergehen soll (Achtung, langer Text! Es handelt sich um die Passage von 00:44:08 bis 01:06:15)

Bitte nur hier im Blog kommentieren, die Kommentare sind auf der Transkriptseite darum deaktiviert..

‘Commoner Letter’ van Mohamed Nanabhay, Al Jazeera

CC Netherlands, October 12, 2009 12:29 PM   License: Naamsvermelding 3.0 Nederland

Als onderdeel van de jaarlijkse CC International sponsorwervings campagne betuigen vooraanstaande leden van de CC community in een ‘Commoner Letter’ hun steun aan CC. De eerste brief van de nieuwe campagne is geschreven door Mohamed Nanabhay, hoofd Online van Al Jazeera English.

Al Jazeera levert een geweldige bijdrage aan de promotie van Creative Commons door een deel van hun tv beelden met een CC licentie aan te bieden. Op de Al Jazeera Creative Commons Repository is het ruwe materiaal in tv-kwaliteit beschikbaar. Het materiaal mag door iedereen hergebruikt worden, einige voorwaarde hierbij is dat er verwezen wordt naar Al Jazeera en de CC licentie.

Wil je de Commoner Letters direct per mail ontvangen? Meld je dan hier aan.

Dear Creative Commoner,

This has been a big year for the Al Jazeera Network and our use of Creative Commons. In January we launched the world’s first repository of broadcast quality video footage released under a Creative Commons 3.0 Attribution (CC BY) license. At the time we made select Al Jazeera video footage – initially, footage of the War on Gaza – available for free to be downloaded, shared, remixed, subtitled and eventually rebroadcast by users and TV stations across the world, under the condition that they attribute the material to us.

A large part of embracing free culture is accepting the fact that you are forsaking control in exchange for something greater – the empowerment of the creative community. This means that you never quite know where things will lead. When launching our repository, we had thought that it would be a key resource for anyone producing content on the war and that it would primarily be used by other news organisations and documentary filmmakers.

What we saw was both surprising and delightful. Soon after posting our first video, Wikipedia editors had extracted images to enhance the encyclopedia entries on the War on Gaza. Soon thereafter educators, filmmakers, videogame developers, aid agencies and music video producers all used and built upon our footage. We were encouraged by the warm reception with which our content was received by the free culture community.

Joichi Ito, CEO of Creative Commons said at the launch, “Video news footage is an essential part of modern journalism. Providing material under a Creative Commons license to allow commercial and amateur use is an enormous contribution to the global dialog around important events. Al Jazeera has set the example and the standard that we hope others will follow”.

Being part of a community goes beyond the launch of a single project – it involves long term commitment and shared values. Our association with Creative Commons goes back to 2007 when Lawrence Lessig, the founder of Creative Commons, delivered a keynote address at our 3rd Al Jazeera Forum in Doha, Qatar, where he challenged us to make our content freely available in order to further the values of free speech. This was a challenge that we took seriously – in addition to our Creative Commons Repository, we also make a large part of our output freely available on our YouTube channel.

After the launch of our Repository we co-hosted a workshop with Creative Commons on “Building Successful Media Projects in Open Networks,” which was moderated by Creative Common’s CEO Joichi Ito. This workshop was broadcast live throughout the Middle East as part of our 4th Al Jazeera Forum held in March 2009, which was an international gathering of nearly 200 journalists, analysts, academics, and intellectuals.

While having successfully reached out to new audiences through Creative Commons licensing, the real endorsement of what we achieved was in this note by Lawrence Lessig:

“Al Jazeera is teaching an important lesson about how free speech gets built and supported. By providing a free resource for the world, the network is encouraging wider debate, and a richer understanding”.

Working with Creative Commons has been an enriching experience. We are thankful for all the help, advice and assistance that we received along the way from Lawrence Lessig, Joi Ito, and the rest of the wonderful team that works to spread free culture.

The unintended collaboration that arose as a result of our video repository, and its positive reception worldwide, would not have been possible without the help of Creative Commons licensing. We support this effort because we have witnessed, and continue to witness, the benefits of contributing to and strengthening the digital commons. In whatever capacity you are able, I hope you will also support CC by contributing to this organization and by adding to the commons. I urge you to go forth and license!

Sincerely,

Mohamed Nanabhay
Head of Online, Al Jazeera English

Lancering AkaWiki site

CC Netherlands, October 12, 2009 07:40 AM   License: Naamsvermelding 3.0 Nederland

Op 7 oktober werd de AkaWiki website  gelanceerd. Op deze site kunnen wetenschappers, studenten en bloggers hun samenvattingen van onderzoeken en essays plaatsen en deze online bespreken. Daarnaast zorgen RSS feeds en tags ervoor dat de content makkelijk gedeeld kan worden. Alle content op de site is beschikbaar met een CC licentie.

De missie van AcaWiki  is om wetenschappelijk onderzoek beter toegankelijk en interactiever te maken; de AcaWiki site moet een Wikipedia voor wetenschappelijk onderzoek worden. ‘Vernieuwend onderzoek is vaak slecht toegankelijk en heeft daardoor minder invloed.’  zegt Neeru Paharia een van de oprichters van AcaWiki. Neeru Paharia is de voormalige executive directur van Creative Commons International.

Creative Commons has officially launched its 2009 fundraising campaign with the announcement of a new special-edition remixed Creative Commons T-shirt, with a logo (pictured) designed by Shepard Fairey - the artist behind the Obama Hope poster that has become an online (and offline) meme. So now you can contribute to a good cause and look snazzy at the same time.

From the CC International blog:

We are reshaping history as we speak. Millions of CC supporters across the globe – creators, consumers, and advocates – have shown that they believe in the importance of universal access to information online. If we want future generations to enjoy the kind of rich culture that we all deserve, we must invest today in the future of creativity and knowledge.

We hate asking for money, but even non-profits don't run for free (as in beer). As with last year, CC has set a goal of US$500,000 by 31 December. So if you've got a few dollars lying round and you support free culture, consider donating to CC. Or buying a t-shirt.

And if you don't have a few dollars but you still want to help out, spread the word (we've got cool tools to help you do it). Or just use CC or raise awareness of open copyright and you'll be doing your bit.
