The prices of the movies are way too high in the san francisco area. I used to watch movies about once a month. now I only watch movies once every 6 months. There was a time where I went 1 year without going to the theaters. There are too many a holes in the bay area.

I mean, if you get sued by M/Riaa, how do they know that you got music or videos on your PC? By hacking???(Isn’t that illeagal? :P)

Countersue them!!

Pirate Type, from Norway (so they can’t get me!)

The movie theatres suck now, and that is why they lose money. You get to pay ten dollars to get searched now, overcharged for popcorn and shown incessant commercials. They’ve got to be retarded to not see why they are losing money.

And I have zero faith in our ‘elected’ government to change anything for the common good at all, any more.

I quit buying music CD’s years ago. Why? Noting is out there that I like I’m almost 40 and have every thing I ever need on CD from the 80’s. Why spend my money on american idle crap? blond sluts or goofy boy bands and do not for get the crap you call hip hop rap. Market to me with good music.

And I will buy it

I don’t like downloading movies anyway, the quality is not as good as I get with a DVD or seeing it in the cinema. Now I don’t go to the movies because I don’t have enough money , and plus so many of the movies all look the same. If I download a movie it’s because I wouldn’t pay for it anyway. People who like the movie will spend the money, if nobody likes it, they’re not gonna pay for a DVD of a movie that not worth 2 viewings.

Guess what? I now have all the hits of the moment like Kelly Clarkson’s Walk Away as one of the tracks of my CD and I got it for free and legally! How? Internet Radio! IT IS NOT A CRIME TO MAKE A RECORDING OF A RADIO BROADCAST FOR PERSONAL USE.

Does anybody know where I can get movies that are just coming out to theatre’s?

I have to say AMEN to all these post! The damn entertainment industry is falling apart. Not becuase of piracy but becuase of S—y movies and crappy songs. No one cared when you recorded a movie on TV on VHS and gave it to your friend years ago…Now that that is being done where they can see it, they tell us that they are lossing 6 bill a year…BULL SH–! I’m for boycotting the industry for a month…but how will we get the word out? 50 or so ppl on a forum isn’t going to do it….

Okay, im sure everyone is aware of movie and music piracy and the attempt by

movie and audio labels to stop it. every year millions are brought to court to

pay huge loads of money just to compinsate for “illegally” viewing a small

movie or playing a song that might not even popularly last for a month. But

this year…2006, it will all change, a boycott of original movie and music

products (DVDS, VHS and CDs) etc will be boycotted by who ever wishes to do so

to prove to movie studios and music labels that WE are the customers and WE

make them who they are. it shall start on the 4th of July and hopefully end on

4th of August. i sure hope you participate in this (hoped to be) global event.

for more send or add this email “sandbomb_bc@hotmail.com”. thank you for your

time and i hope you spread the word.

Creative Commons Blog

O’Reilly Licensing Book, Licensed

I just noticed that Understanding Open Source and Free Software Licensing, published last year by O’Reilly, is now available as a no cost download under a Creative Commons license. The book includes a chapter (PDF) on Creative Commons licenses.

Thanks O’Reilly and Andrew St. Laurent, the book’s author!

World Live (and Licensed) Web

Kevin Marks mentioned on the cc-metadata list that you can query Technorati for a list of recently syndicated content, grouped by Creative Commons license.

You can also drill down and get a list of recently syndicated content under a specific Creative Commons license.

The results are a bit rough now, but one can easily imagine combining license searches with keyword and other search filters to effect an ongoing search for specific licensed content. For example, tell me whenever a Creative Commons licensed image of horses is syndicated.

Marks, who works at Technorati, indicates this sort of capability is “an important future direction.” Other blog and search outfits take note.

(Glenn found the beautiful horse image linked above via the Creative Commons search engine.)

Ready to Share (Pret a Partager)

Here’s a great idea: A conference that compares how creativity is regulated in fashion versus how it’s regulated in other art forms. In fashion, copyright (among other things) is pretty laissez-faire compared to, say, music or film.

On January 29, 2005, the Norman Lear Center will hold a landmark event on fashion and the ownership of creativity. Ready to Share will explore the fashion industry’s enthusiastic embrace of sampling, appropriation and borrowed inspiration, core components of every creative process. Presented by the Lear Center’s Creativity, Commerce & Culture project, and sponsored by The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising/FIDM, this groundbreaking conference will feature scholarly debate, fashion shows, multimedia presentations, the clash of perspectives and the cross-fertilization of ideas.

If you’re in Los Angeles this weekend, come see designer Tom Ford, musician Dangermouse, techie John Seely Brown, musician and producer T-Bone Burnett, and other giants of the various corners of the creative world talk about the fine art of sampling, across disciplines.

Or, check out the webcast at 9am PST January 29.

A Great Scene From iCommons

We just got this great photo of the Wissenschaftskolleg conference from Christiane, our International Commons Project Coordinator, whom you can see there in the background. Featured in the foreground is Professor Ricolfi, Creative Commons Legal Project Lead from Italy, and to the right of him is Professor Jürgen Renn, Director of the Max Planck Institute for History of Science. On the very right, is Professor Lessig. Photo by Olivier Menanteau.

At Sundance

I’ll be on a panel on Digital Rights Management tomorrow at high noon at the Sundance Film Festival.

Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a key issue for any company that controls content or has a library it wants to exploit. Balancing issues of copyright/privacy versus profit is no small challenge. In the new digital age, is it possible to leverage content and maximize profit only when a top-notch DRM system is in place? The music industry learned its lesson the hard way with Napster; the film industry doesn’t want to make the same mistake, but still finds itself fighting multimillion-dollar antipiracy lawsuits year after year. How will the newest state-of-the-art DRM software change how we deliver movies? Come hear from the experts, and find out what’s on the horizon for the moviegoing (and book-reading) public. Moderated by Walter S. Mossberg, personal technology columnist for the Wall Street Journal.

Watch for Creative Commons sightings on Defamer.

Featured Commoner: Magnatune

Magnatune provides “Internet music without the guilt.” Based in Berkeley, California, Magnatune is a record label with a 21st Century business model, offering consumers a unique mix of free and paid music. One of the first for-profit companies to adopt Creative Commons’ copyright licenses into its strategy, Magnatune has amassed both an impressive buzz and a large artist roster. We recently spoke with Magnatune founder and CEO John Buckman about the music company’s progress and plans, and how going “some rights reserved” can boost the bottom line.

Ok, #9 on the Toronto Eye’s Anti-Hit List, with very some cool company. It’s a start!

Australia Launch and River Boat Cruise

Over the last few days, I had the honor of attending the Creative Commons Australia launch which was celebrated by a two-day Creative Commons conference at the Queensland University of Technology Law School. The conference, entitled Open Content Licensing (OCL): Cultivating the Creative Commons, was well attended by many of Australia’s influencial thinkers in government, technology, the arts, and law. Brian Fitzgerald, head of iCommons Australia, and his many colleagues, put together an amazing crash course in Creative Commons, as well as the context from which we’ve emerged. It seemed that conference attendees left excited about the potential for Creative Commons to work within the Australian cultural environment.

Most exciting about this conference, was to see how energetic everyone was about Creative Commons, both in support, and in criticism — the mere fact that people felt so strongly about it was truly inspiring. I also had the pleasure of attending the first official Creative Commons river boat cruise — leave it to the Australians to show you a good time! Below are some images from the event and the cruise:

CC Italy Launch Report

Juan Carlos De Martin writes in with a report on last month’s Creative Commons Italy launch:

The Italian CC Licenses were launched in Turin on December 16th, with a conference at the Fondazione Giovanni Agnelli. Over 100 people crowded the attractive conference room of the Fondazione, with several journalists in attendance to cover the event.

The first part of the program prepared by the iCommons Italy Affiliate Institutions (University of Turin Law School and IEIIT-CNR) coordinated by the Italian project lead, prof. Marco Ricolfi, consisted of presentations by Lawrence Lessig, who eloquently explained the conceptual foundations of CC, and by Christiane Asschenfeldt, who reported on the state of the art of the iCommons project.

Marco Ricolfi then spoke about the process that produced the Italian CC licenses, highlighting among the other things that like elsewhere in Europe there is a need for some adjustments to the role of collecting societies to second the growing desire of authors to distribute their works more freely. Juan Carlos De Martin, a computer engineering researcher with IEIIT-CNR, provided an overview of the CC technical challenges and stressed the role of technology in enabling the ‘Some Rights Reserved’ vision in cyberspace.

Talks that followed the lively discussion session were a selection of the many proposals submitted in response to a call made by the organizers back in October 2004.

The presentations touched a wide range of topics, including the relationship between free software and CC licenses (Alessandro Rubini), Radiodrome – a student web radio experiment at the Politecnico di Torino (Puria Nafisi and Jovi Berton), and a report on work in progress on CC in a country next door to Italy, Slovenia (Maja Bogataj Jançiç). The conference ended with the words of an artist from another neighboring country, France: Dominique, lead singer of the free rock group Godon, explained why Godon chose CC licenses to release their music on their web site. For a complete list of all the talks, see the site of the event, where most presentations (in English) will be available shortly.

The event was webcast live by IEIIT-CNR, using its free streaming software, the Open Media Streaming project, which supports handling of CCPL licensing metadata.

After the conference, attendees were invited to move to the near-by Imbarco Perosino, an attractive venue right on the backs of the Po river, for a celebratory “aperitivo”, followed by a “Creative Christmas” party that lasted into the night.

Wired on Open Source Biology

An interesting article from Wired on the folks at Biological Innovation for Open Society (BIOS), a group in Australia advocating an open-source approach to biology. I know the folks at BIOS and recommend you poke around their site if you’re interested in open biology.

Here’s the story; it’s a good read.

One point, which is actually pretty major, of contention. We see Science Commons described as being in a supposed “battle” with the biotechnology companies of the world.

This is a perception that Science Commons will have to work against – the idea that, by advocating voluntary changes to inefficient systems, we are somehow “against” the companies pursuing scientific innovation. It’s just not

Youn Americans pay way too much for pirated stuff, we at SE Asia gat ours for $1.10 for a movie with quality as good as DVD (if yuo wait long enough) and $1.40 to get entiore seasons of your best TV series (Lost, Sopranos, Entourage…)
