Meet Creative Commons.

Creative Commons first considered offering a Sampling License at the suggestion of collagist People Like Us (a.k.a. Vicki Bennett) and Negativland, the appropriationist art collective that has since served as the public discussion lead during the license drafting process. During this process, and thanks to FGV Law School, we learned that Gilberto Gil, Brazil's Minister of Culture had long been thinking along similar lines. We combined these independent inspirations and, before long, had new licenses to offer to the public.

The Sampling licenses let artists and authors invite other people to use a part of their work and make it new.

For example:

To take a sample from one musician's song and include it in a new one.
To use a clip from a film and mix into your own video creation.
To take a piece of a photograph and put it into a new collage.
Think of it as a way for artists and authors to reward people for transforming their creativity into something it wasn't before.

You're welcome, it's all pretty good stuff too. I had the BB song on earlier and my daughter was going nuts dancing to the bass. 😀


 
I listened to the CD that was in Wired about a week ago. I thought the concept was great, but the material on the CD was less than desirable to say the least.

I liked some, I didn't like some. It's music, people never agree on what's "good" or "bad" unless you're talking about N'Synch. 😛
