If you're in the business of privatising ideas, then expect nothing less than to have them stolen. Lessig's point about decriminalising tax evasion by implementing more realistic taxes is fair enough but decriminalising music piracy - it's not the same deal Music, like language, is about communicating not ownership - it would be nonsensical to copyright language and any attempt to do so would justly result in word theft Rant, rant, rant... I guess the ideas in Free Culture and Remix are moving in the right direction, just don't think for one minute that stealing in order to be silenced is any better than paying for it - it just shows how desperate we've become to consume Ah, the crisis of private ownership...

We're hoping to build on this a little more later this year and allow easy access via Advanced Search and calls to our API.

FML will be hosting a CCsalon in November with a small conference on 'Building Public Domains' Mainstream don't seem keen on CC. Anyone had tale of artists having problems in defending their CC rights? Am a supporter of cc for all the pro’s that Lessig gives in Free Culture.
