The Copyleft

The Copyleft
I’ve been reading and watching a lot on copyright laws recently and it is utterly fascinating.
Probably the best movie I’ve seen so far is the documentary, RiP! A Remix Manifesto. The director, Brett Gaylor, not only made a great piece on the stifling effect copyright law has on creativity in this country, but he also started Open Source, which encourages remixing and expanding upon videos. The below video is footage of Girl Talk from the film that was remixed.

Good Copy, Bad Copy‘s another good movie to watch.

Also, be sure to visit the Creative Commons site.

And thanks to Drew for sending me an essay by Cory Doctorow entitled Content: Selected Essays on Technology, Creativity, Copyright, and the Future of the Future. Cory appears in “RiP!” and is co-editor over at Boing Boing. I’m super excited to start reading that.

For a movie on how overaggressive “ownership” damages the realm of food and genetics check out The Future of Food (Official Site).

Remix and rejoice!

In absence of the “Weekly Ablum”

Well, I don’t think the Weekly Album is going to happen this week… so, instead you get some more Robyn and this stunning video. I’ll have something good next week, promise.

RainyDayz Remixes

RainyDayz Remixes
This is something I’ve been listening to a good bit the past week or so. Great remixes, re-envisioning, and covers (my favorite track being “15 Steps” featuring Codany Holiday)! The DJ, Amplive, begged Radiohead to get permission and it ended up getting it!

While the Oakland producer/DJ acknowledges that he probably should have contacted Radiohead (who were not involved in the project) to seek approval prior to making his interpretations publically available, an agreement has been reached between all involved parties and Amplive has been granted permission to release Rainydayz Remixes for free to the general public. Effective immediately, the eight-track record is available here.

Rainydayz Remixes is composed exclusively of source material pulled from In Rainbows, re-envisioned by Amplive and complimented by vocal work from Too $hort, MC Zumbi of Zion I, Chali2na of Jurassic 5, Codany Holiday, and Del The Funky Homosapien.

go.. download.. enjoy!
