Absolutely. We also cannot simply substitute CC licensed music for un-Free music. With culture, unlike software, the devil is in the details; you can't make a functional equivalent to a NiN album the same way you can make a functional equivalent to UNIX. If I like NiN, I cannot substitute something that sounds a bit like NiN but not as good. And nor can Trent Reznor. This is the classic example of how proprietary production alienates *producers* from what they produce. All that said possibly someone from CC could talk to Trent? :-) - Rob. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://freeculture.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss
