Lecture 7

For the week 7 tutorial Adam dressed to theme. He wore a creative commons logo t-shirt, and a Linux hat, complete with the cute little penguin. I appreciate he made the effort to co-ordinate his wardrobe with his teachings.
So as my lecturer’s shirt suggests, creative commons was the topic.
Just in case you didn’t know (where have you been?), Creative Commons is a non-profit organization devoted to expanding the range of creative works available for others to build upon legally and to share. The organization has released several copyright licenses known as "Creative Commons licenses". These licenses allow creators to communicate which rights they reserve, and which rights they waive for the benefit of recipients or other creators.
So basically it allows other users to access, re-create, add upon or remix music, pictures, writings, and video. I think it’s a great way to build a creative community based on the internet where things aren’t so strict and confining, where artists can share and collaborate, and also get themselves out there as a name, especially for musicians.
