Please register || immediately if you || are in the academic community in the area, as we need to || start making || arrangements for free food and other resources. NYU's own Siva || Vaidhyanathan will be speaking and we'll have some folks from || Creative || Commons attending for a workshop on CC on campuses. || || Second, check out Creative Common's Copyright Criminals Remix || Contest: || || This is a contest for artists to mix audio tracks under 4 || minutes || which use provided voice samples from Ben Franzen and Kembrew || McLeod?s || forthcoming film, "Copyright Criminals". Samples from the || film include || voiceovers from De La Soul, DJ Qbert, members of Public || Enemy, Matmos, || Coldcut, members of Negativland, and others. The best overall || winner || will be included prominently in the film and the top 11 other || entries || are to be included on a companion CD. || || I'm sure it will turn out some great stuff, so keep an eye on || the page. || || Anyway, happy new years, and see you at the summit! || || </blockquote>
Free culture?
