Specifically, there are one or two points I want to make. * IP is not a good way to protect against cultural appropriation * IP may encourag cultural appropriation For the former, I need to show how IP has been ineffective for protecting marginalized cultures from appropriation, how there may be a separate legal framework, and draw on examles of successful protections in the past. If a legal framework is not necessary, what else can be done? For the latter, it's a point i'm not sure can be made, but any help building or criticizing the idea is appreciated! What do you all think?

Why or why not? Is there really any difference between code and art? Consider the case of a computer game that generates it's artwork dynamically, using algorithms written in c. What about a game that generates the music within that game using code written by the author? Why is code not considered art, and if it *IS* art, then why does the GNU GPL not require attribution, and why does the GNU GPL allow commercial distribution?

Let’s CC offers quick and easy access to search services provided by some companies from one single page like search.creativecommons.org. It makes use of the APIs provided by Fiickr, Jamendo, ccMixter, Youtube and Slideshare, so you can find CC-licensed images, sounds, videos and docs at once with just one click. You can also save your favorite contents, add tags to them, search them and check most favorite contents of all users. Let’ CC‘ let contents which is to be set favorites locate the top of search results so as to let users find more relevant contents easily. We has tried to put emphasis on simplicity, convenience and efficiency for designing this service. *Now the code of "Let's CC" http://eng.letscc.net, is distributed as open source.* *Please refer to https://github.com/neomparam/letscc. * I hope you find it useful.

Consumers already pay for all of the Costs of production *and* they pay Profit because they do not have ownership. Why would we not be able to attract consumers to pre-pay for internet connectivity or cell-phone service or food production or any/all of the goods and services we *already* pay for? The only difference now is that we pay *late*, and so never gain the ownership needed to avoid also paying Profit. This logistical problem is already being somewhat addressed under the title "Crowd Funding", but in that case the people that pre-pay for Product do not become real co-owners, and so they continue to pay Profit and beg the real owners to do "the right thing" while having no actual control of that production. Yikes. What would these vicious cops be enforcing? Are you saying it is impossible to share hardware?

I was finished with the screencast after 5h, plus 3h encoding time. Then I started writing to the artists whose music I used to try to get the right to use them under GPL. The first two were happy to allow me to use their songs under GPL. Finding ways to reach them took some time, but within one or two days I had positive replies - with one of them even stating “tho I thought cc-by-sa 3.0 is GPL compatible” I used Google+, email and Jamendo for contacting them.

So there are some designs for mechanical parts that are CC-BY-SA. There are other designs for mechanical parts that are GPL. Fabricating both creates derivative works under incompatible inherited licenses.

I dont find discussion area on the wiki and it is difficult to communicate effectively in a mailing list. I would greatly appreciate those who can read to get my idea to be considered and discussed. It is this: My experience with the interpretation of the creative commons license no-derivative-works is ambiguous in some cases. The complicated case is deciding whether you can make a video from cc audio-nd. A video is a movie clip with sound? No. (Cinema was mute when born) A video may or may not have sound. Like a video may or may not have an smell associated. Therefore, a video are images in movement. Nothing more. If audio with cc-nd is not modified and I get to dance at the same time. .. Am I making a derivative work? No. If audio with cc-nd is not modified and I show a picture at the same time... Derivative work? No. Audio is not changing. Audio and video are distinct and separate. Another example: If I have a photo with cc-nd li</pre> yul01-sGOZH3hwPm2sTnJN9+BGXg< at >public.gmane.org 2012-04-03T23:06:22 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.creativecommons.general/6586 <pre>Hi all CC has just posted an opportunity for a summer intern&lt;http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/32044&gt;to work with our worldwide affiliate network over the US summer (June-August).

The website states it is Noncommercial Sampling Plus, while the ID3 TCOP frame says just Sampling Plus, which would allow commercial sampling. I think it should be corrected, otherwise creativecommons.org promotes rights the author hasn't provided. It isn't a huge thing, but since (sadly) few people use the ID3 tags [3] correctly, CC could set a good example.
