: Creative Commons.orgSan Francisco tomorrow: Copyright in a Hyper Digital Age: Copyrights? Copyleft? What rights are left?
By Mike Linksvayer
Many events featuring CC in California over the next and past few days.
The CC Salon Los Angeles starts in an hour.
On Sunday I spoke at Lugradio Live USA (slides), as did CC-enabled record label Magnatune’s founder, John Buckman (his slides). Given that Lugradio Live is primarily a Linux conference, we each did a take on open source and open content.
Tomorrow (Thursday) I’ll be on a panel titled Copyright in a Hyper Digital Age: Copyrights? Copyleft? What rights are left? sponsored by the American Society of Media Photographers Northern California. Full details at the link. Free for society members, $10 for the public, or $5 with email RSVP. There’s an event forum in which to post questions in advance.
Friday CC will be on a panel in San Jose on New Media Artists and the Law put on by California Lawyers for the Arts.
Of course there’s always lots happening around the world in CC land — check Planet Creative Commons for updates and our latest newsletter highlighting international projects for evidence.
