7 rules for open source media
,----[ Quote ]
| Content is going to become even more open in 2008. But how open is open, when
| does traditional content masquerade as such? Clever marketing ideas like
| movie clip remix competitions where the remixer has no right to distribute or
| permission to use their own endeavours don’t really count as open content. So
| here’s a start at laying out a framework for what truly constitutes open
| content and open source media. I’m going to talk in terms of film/video,
| because that is the context for A Swarm of Angels, but it applies to other
| media like open music and open books too.

Happy Public Domain Day!
,----[ Quote ]
| Michael sez, "It's January 1st! Do you know what works are passing into the
| public domain in the life+50, and life+70 countries? Lots! Here in the USA
| (where basically nothing published in 1923 or later will ever enter the
| public domain, to protect Disney's 'Steamboat Willie'), only unpublished
| works of the life+70 class of authors enter the public domain. Whew. Thank
| goodness for small favors, right?. We can now expect the unpublished works of
| George Gershwin, H.P. Lovecraft, Amelia Earhart, J.M. Barrie, and John
| Davison Rockefeller (yeah right), among many others, to be free and clear of
| copyright encumbrances for those who wish to publish them. Boy, unpublished
| works! Wow! After 70 years since they died, there must be lots of those
| hanging around, right? Right?"

Stray Cinema: Open Source Film-making on the Web
,----[ Quote ]
| Stray Cinema invites people to create short films, based on raw footage
| that was filmed in London on a digital camera. The idea is that
| participants download the footage and edit parts of it into their own 2
| minute film.
