Digital Media Insider Podcast 16: Cover Yourself (A Radical Approach to Copyright):
Open source enthusiast Lucas Gonze wanted to record cover songs and share them online. But copyright law and web spiders crushed that plan. Then he found a mother lode of free music on a government web site.
What I especially like about this is that it’s by far the best documentation on my cover song project.
One correction: David gives me credit for creating CC Mixter, when in reality it was Neeru Paharia, Mike Linksvayer, Victor Stone, Eric Steur, and myself.
For people visiting this blog as a result of David’s podcast, two posts that are good entry points are Ella Waltz 06032007 and guitar lessons as the transmission of culture.
Update 7/29: added Neeru Paharia to CC Mixter attributions
Fantastic interview. Everyone who cares about music, digital music, copyright, etc., should listen.
At least a couple dozen people did more to create ccMixter than me, beginning with Neeru Paharia.
Say the Word, brother Lucas! Your sci-fi scenario makes sense to me.
Yea, as far I know it was Neeru’s idea, definitely her vision that I implemented by the time I got there.
I have added Neeru to the attributions at the head of the list.
