interesting approach. are the people who put together this site on this mailing list? i'm interested in some of the thinking behind this.
the idea that a community works together to Free a work is pretty neat, but a little less neat when you consider that the artist could have just made it Free to begin with. perhaps the idea is that by using an open license, one relinquishes part of her ability to profit from her work (a flawed claim, imo), and this is a way to get the artist her fair share before her work is donated to the public? based on no research, i would guess that it's quite common for a work to become much more valuable after it is remixed. i don't know... in my mind, charging for freedom is not a whole lot better than charging for access. but that being said, i'm totally interested in hearing more about this, and i'm totally psyched that this is fundamentally rethinking how we can build a business model around freedom. not everybody has to dive into the deep end of free culture, that's why we have non-free-cultural-works-approved cc licenses! http://freedomdefined.org/Licenses/NC http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/8051 On Tue, Sep 8, 2009 at 1:26 PM, Adi Kamdar <[email protected]> wrote: > This is cool. > -Adi > > > > On Tue, Sep 8, 2009 at 10:36 AM, Seth Johnson < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> >> > http://sellyourrights.com/ >> >> >> Welcome liberator! >> >> The web is your arena.
