its interesting though about the whole free-culture outside the US, it seems that free-culture is looking to be funded via the state. well at least all the admin operations, so does that mean that mechanism behind free-culture is fed through the government.
so the government build more trains for the first class passengers. i had hoped that free-culutre also means the right to do as you choose with what you create. yet being able to only license using the CC licenese and be a member of a rights organization outside the us does not make sense. it seems that ideas for artists might also move on the artists http://www.owntems.org the universal blanket license for eternity is sometimes to much for the artists. how about the universal blanket license for the local pub, that the artists can turn on and off when he feels like it?
Creative Commons might at least give merit to the other ideas, or would that be competition in a monopoly circumstance?
proove me wrong and put project applications in place via some of the CC affiliates outside of the US that are funded through the state to get moving on these kind of ideas? maybe i have it wrong though, another good pipe dream.
free-culture= free to do what you want with what you create.
not free to make it free only under a creative commons license, yet its interesting. i’m not worried about the CC license, yet maybe this article above shows an argument that might get thrown at you guys from time to time. how can you have a summit for free culutre within a blanket license and no definiftion within the law of what is non-commercial and what is commercial?
anyway i find it intersting, cause in all the time i have been using these CC liceses, i still can’t get free legal advice. both sides seem the same as they have a political agenda, ultimatley the artists uses the tools that are available to her/him to get what they made heard. So i have to wonder if CC within the blanket admin of APRA is such a good thing. Is it not unfair to other licenes that might want to exist?

The soldiers of happiness have gone to sleep
The mirror on the mantelpiece tells me it’s time to leave
Because the soldiers of happiness have gone to sleep
Why do I feel so much pain
When no-one remembers anything anyway
No-one cares what you say, people within their space
‘Cause the soldiers of happiness have gone to sleep
Hey, where’s the beautiful princess going
Really just a snob with a bad attitude
There ain’t no time to tell her the way you feel
Before you know it, a piece of meat on a wheel
The soldiers of happiness have gone to sleep
The mirror on the mantelpiece tells me it’s time to leave
‘Cause the soldiers of happiness have gone to sleep
I wonder what they’ll do when they all wake up
‘Cause the soldiers of happiness have gone to sleep
My days, my nights, my dreams throughout my life
Counting stars in my mind, feelings by my side
My higher mind’s talking to the shadows on the wall
Dream from yesterday, you can write any rhythm
Put it in a book, nothing explains the way to feel
When the soldiers of happiness have gone to sleep
The mirror on the mantelpiece tells me it’s time to leave
‘Cause the soldiers of happiness have gone to sleep
The soldiers of happiness have gone to sleep
The mirror on the mantelpiece tells me it’s time to leave
‘Cause the soldiers have left and gone to sleep

I walked the main street past the cinema
Walked through the pool hall lookin’ for a perfect place
I walked the main street, the outer suburb
Eyes alive yet nowhere to go
Shadows, breathe, rain does flow
Neon lights, empty streets
Like a current, I was drawn
I walked the streets until the soles of my feet were beat
Lights flicker, ghosts walk, walked to the station
Trains didn’t go, traffic lights went yet no cars drive
Further, further out I must climb
I walked the streets until the soles of my feet were beat
I walked the streets until the soles of my feet were beat
Go walk the streets until the soles of my feet are dead
Go walk the streets until the soles of my feet are dead
Rollin’, rollin’ down thunder from the sky
Dogs did bark as I walk, cold to my bones
Steps did echo, light was bent, time was still, the mist moved in
Movin’ my mind in its twisted vault
Further, further out I must go
I walked the streets until the soles of my feet were beat
The suburbs frozen, moon was lost, sheets of rain, nowhere to go
I walked the streets until the soles of my feet were beat (x3)
Go walk the streets until the soles of my feet are dead (x10)

I carry the world, I think about you
I really want to change and bring about me
All I do is worry, carry all these chains
I carried it home, home from school
When I left the place I carried it to
I carried it ’round like a ball and chain
All of these things don’t make me feel great
I carried it to the buddha, I didn’t let go
I carried it overseas, I thought it would float
I carried it so much, I thought I was strong
I carried and carried, I carried so long
I carried it up mountains so I could look down
I carried it beneath so I was all around
I clung to my carriage, my mission to carry
I carried and carried, I carried so long
I carried it over bridges ’til they burnt down
I carried it through the desert
I carried it through the clouds
I carried it to places no-one would go
I carried it up streams and I walked it down roads

Talks about a commercial, non-commercial, creative commons, rights organizations, myspace and youtube.
On last tour to Belgium I was able to meet up with Paul Keller from CC.nl .
Questions sent out to CC mailing list: even if a site is set up as a non-profit is it fair that they run google adds with content licensed under a non-commercial license? I understand that often the non-profit makes very little from the adds, yet how do creators view this use? Are most artists ok about that art being associated with any product that google choose for ever and not participating in any part of that revenue? If a creative commons non-commercial use did not allow any kind of associated advertising, would the license work better? Is there a demand for a non-commercial license that does not allow advertising?

Creative Commons are asking people for feedback on policy
CC/ iCommons is looking (from a distance) to be moving towards the corporations rather than the artist. Policy of iCommons is directed to those who create pools of content rather than users. The problem might be that most of the funds CC/iCommons get don’t come via individuals yet from larger corporations/organizations. CC has business people on the board. yet these people look at content from a business perspective not from that of an artist. From a far out view it looks like the same thing is going on a different plate.
who is going to decide what a non-commercial use is. The corporations or the people? The more people that use CC licenses the more important the organization is.

Recently I called up Buma/Stemra (Dutch collection society) to find out more information about the Creative Commons pilot project. Read the press release here. The project was initiated by the Creative Commons team in the Netherlands. This mail thread explains more.
What I understood after the conversation was this: its as difficult to change what a commercial use is for art licensed with Creative Commons licenses (for members of rights organizations) as it is to create a ‘license back situation’ for all artist members. From what I understand a license back situation would allow the artists to deal with their rights as they choose, yet still participate in the collecting system where the artist wanted to. The reason why Buma/Stemra would not create a license back situation (according to BS) is that it would cost its members to much and there would be nothing to collect if they did this anyway.
Consider: Buma/Stemra see little difference between what a commercial use is for art licensed with a CC NC license and art not licensed with one (for members that participate in the pilot). Buma/Stemra see almost everything as a commercial use. What is going to happen if in the future rights organizations adopt the NC CC license under Buma/Stemra conditions? Would this give the rights organizations the ability to charge non-profit organizations for the use CC NC licensed works in that territory ? Consider also: even a small flow from one rights organization might effect what is developing through CC licensing.
A way around this problem might be to add a feature to the license to let the user of the license know that this music art is with a collection society/system, by doing this creating a new license and less confusion. In time the rights organizations might work towards a NC use that resembles the CC NC use. For the rights organizations to build a new system they would have to dismantle/rebuild the old one. What incentive is there for a board of directors that are involved mostly with large publishers to do this?
Buma/Stemra knew that the conditions of a commercial use could not be changed. Were the Creative Commons team in the Netherlands aware of this ?
Why would BS treat online users of content any differently to off line users ? Consider also: If BS do treat a NC use differently online, then what is the effect of creative commons on spaces outside the net now and in the future (where the pilot might be introduced) ? Is two separate conditions for the use of content a good future to grow up in ?
If this pilot continues, users of Creative Commons licensed works and artists that license using Creative Commons licenses are going to be confused.
Who am I to make any assumptions about Buma/Stemra? Although I am from Australia and was previously a member of APRA. Over the last months I have had the opportunity to tour music through the Netherlands. In this time I was able to get feedback from venue owners on how Buma/Stemra deal with people.
Here’s an article with more thoughts on CC Non Commercial use.

Solutions to problems around us can be found by sharing and communicating ideas.
Reform APRA. Getting music artists in Australia to put pressure on APRA (collection society) to create a one member one vote system. Currently voting rights are structured so that for every 500 dollars that an artist or publisher collects, the artist or publisher gets one extra vote. With new technologies it makes sense to have equal voting rights for all members. Consider that the conditions that the board of APRA create, effect the way that members and non members deal with commercial and non-commercial spaces . APRA members are not able to use a creative commons license and remain within the terms of the agreement that the board of APRA maintain. Websitemyspace
Hungry Artists Feed Hungry People. Artists giving up commercial rights for the use of their content to a charity of choice. HAFHPmyspace icommonsOpenbusiness
Artist Press Kit. Creating a press kit (media station) for artists, where the media comes to the artist rather than the artist going to the media. openbusinessicommons
Create Incentives For Artists to be Artists. Create an organization that would collect
and distribute works that would be used in commercial streams.

incentives for artists. icommons

Most artists when they get started on their path mostly seem interested in distribution of ideas, rather than revenue. I spoke to a blues guitar player recently, when talking about money and music. “The music is free, what your paying for is the strings, the amp, the petrol and all the rest of it; but the music its free”. Its not easy for some artists to license their art with a CC license, Creative Commons is difficult to explain to an artists having a hard time. The void within the publishing system creates a magnet to almost every idea, creative commons is the only . I’m convinced that CC creates a better flow of culture within culture, yet getting that message through is not easy.
License:
The most effective distribution tool (i reckon) is an open license, yet for a commercial organization to use an open license can create problems. Recently virgin mobile in Australia used images, licensed with an open license without a model release. This resulted in legal action against virgin mobile and creative commons by the person that licensed their image using a creative commons open license. If the person using a license can sue the organization that creates the license, what is the future of that license ?
Publishing:
The publishers have created difficult circumstances for “self publishing” artist with new ideas. As publishing industries grow smaller, exploitation of the “self published artist” grows. Organization have sprung up all over the net that offer artists the opportunity to get through the wall at a cost. Its easy for an artist with little understanding of the publishing industry to be sucked into this system. Even when artists create ideas compatible with contemporary ideas, unless publishing industries have nurtured these ideas the ability to distribute the idea is not easy. One of my favourite artists “beck”, was related to the business when he started out. Publishing good ideas has less to do with the idea and more to do with who you know, even with
