let the remixes continue

By Lawrence Lessig

So here's an update on the Remix COLBERT/lessig project.

As I first reported, after the event, I was sent some very cool remixes. They're available in my first blog entry about the show.

Then ccMixter -- Creative Commons fantastic remix site, that allows you to track who remixed what -- launched a remix thread. You can see those here.

Then this morning I saw the link to the IndabaMusic site, which is running a contest around the clip. There are now about 20 remixes available, and more than 100 in the works. You can see those here.

All of the remixes in the ccMixter/IndabaMusic domains are CC licensed. The source, again, is my CC licensed segment (the portion of the Colbert Report in which I am a joint copyright owner.) As that is CC-BY, anyone is free for any purpose (save endorsement purposes) to use it as you wish.
