"World trade is really going to be in shipping around recipes, not cakes and cookies. In other words ... you don't need to have ships full of cars crossing each other in the Pacific, that's not world trade, that's just pure entropy. Most local areas can produce most of the stuff they need, and what needs to be world trade is really the ideas, the recipes, valuing each other's food and art and music and culture."

The day has come, #Microsoft will shutdown their #DRM servers which means that all #ebook bought in their store will be gone. Books bought by people under the impression that they will own them like they own their physical books, forever. That's why I only buy DRM-free or watermarked books where I really own the epub files. https://www.wired.com/story/microsoft-ebook-apocalypse-drm #freeCulture #culture #books

Kitsch Science by Pablo Ribot

#NowPlaying #FreeCulture

Honestly using NewPipe to download mixes by Helena Hauff is all I need for an offline listening experience.

#til Legamus is a project similar to LibriVox where volumteers record audiobooks of works that are public domain in the EU (not US ... I know copyright sucks 😐). Its catalogue is much smaller then the one of LibriVox but seems to contain a few gems. 😁

@emacsen I've been involved in CC stuff since my days with #Indymedia in the early 2000s. I've been looking at it from the POV of a hobby musician and live music fan, with lots of friends who are poor musicians (and photographers and film-makers etc). It seems to me there's a suite of tools that need to come together to make a #FreeCulture economy work. This including licenses, software, #BuskWare platforms (I've thought about crypto and #GNU #Taler) etc. The C-E Mark is part of it.

The latest episode of the excellent #LibreLounge podcast is about #FreeCulture, the #CreativeCommons licenses, and #Remix and #Mashup culture:

Glitches -N- Clicks by Herre Jorna

A nice album of glitchy minimal techno. If you like clicks'n'cuts, hums and static and grooves, check it out!

@wolftune that said, I totally support the project to define #FreeCulture by analogy to #FreeSoftware, so that Free Culture licenses exclude NC and ND clauses. I have a hard time thinking of a valid use case for the ND clause, and I'd support CC scrapping ND in version 5.0. They would need to reassure creators though, that the other licenses explicitly disallow passing off derivatives as the work of the original author.

The #NC clause in #CreativeCommons licensing is both a blessing and a curse. It addresses one of the most common reasons artists balk at #FreeCulture licensing ("but what if corporations profit from my work and I don't?"), and artists that dip their toes in with NC licenses often end up switch to a free culture license like BY-SA. But it also makes it more complicated to explain to people what they can do with the resulting commons of works. Pros and cons.

I presume the ArchiveTeam will look into adding all the #FreeCulture licensed stuff from their copy of the #FreeMusicArchive to the Community Music collection on Archive.org? That's another source of legally free music for #FunkWhale:
