The Indie Band Survival Guide
,----[ Quote ]
| Cherkow and Feehan, both in the original PDF and in the book, recommend using
| CC licences as a means for musicians to spread their works far and wide,
| referencing the oft-cited Tim O’Reilly quote, “Obscurity is a far greater
| threat to authors and creative artists than piracy.” To Cherkow and Feehan,
| CC licensing music makes sense as a promotional tool, increasing the ability
| for an artist to gain exposure and fans.

The Indie Band Survival Guide, new book on how to succeed on your own
,----[ Quote ]
| But possibly the most interesting thing about the book is that it could not
| have existed without the Creative Commons. We gave away the original version
| from our website as a PDF, under a CC license that let people share it
| freely, non-commercial. Without this sharing, we would never have been
| noticed by Billboard magazine, who wrote an article about the PDF. This was
| followed by the Associated Press. And, next thing we knew, a publisher was
| interested.

What does it mean to be an Open Source author? A story from the inside
,----[ Quote ]
| I hear daily about open source projects, the open source business model, what
| it means in terms of freedom, choice, risks, investment, etc... What I rarely
| hear about is what is life like for those who actually contribute and
| dedicate a part of their life to open source?

| I cannot emphasize enough how this promotion work allows a project to take
| off and make a difference at any kind of scale.

| Beloved online publishers and journalists, thank you for the astonishing job
| you are doing at publishing about people, technology and open source.

Creative Collaboration: The Open Source Filmmaking Experiment
,----[ Quote ]
| With new collaborative tools available, some filmmakers are opening up their
| work to the participation of others. Tapping into the creative power of the
| crowd can take a film in an entirely new direction -- one that the creator
| hadn't even envisioned.

| Creative Commons, which gives users the option of opening up the rights to

Australia set to give the go-ahead for Creative Commons licensing
,----[ Quote ]
| Researchers at Queensland will shortly publish a study on the pricing of
| public sector information which is expected to set out the case for making
| all government data free. We will watch with interest. In the meantime, we
| think the UK government could usefully copy one set of Australian ideas: a
| policy review in 2002 which said that the government should not try to charge
| for data where to do so is not cost-effective, would be inconsistent with
| policy objectives or would unduly stifle competition and innovation. Bonza!
