[Rumori] %20 & Chuck D with Fine Arts Militia & Public Enemy - Meaning

[PeterALopez]

The Creative Common licenses we’re initiated/fleshed out by Negativland from what I understand but they have been either dropped, ignored or forgotten in the mean time.  (I ment to get more info on this from someone on Snuggles but I’ve misplaced my thoughts)  This really irks me since recently Lessig had a CC year 2 party.  Something he mentioned in the Wired lecture I bootlegged that he wouldn’t do again...

You’re ‘stay in your bedroom’ license analogy is apt it would seem.  To gather attention for the licensing schemes they are offering one remixer the chance to be on the next Chuck D with Fine Arts Militia CD.  In some ways though this seems that the Non-Commercial Sampling rights are no different then current Copyrights.  Which is why we have ‘Fair Use’ which revamps copyrights into copy privaledges.  (I’ve been reading Siva…)  but to play the game you have to put yourself at risk.

I am taking profits from this release.  Hense the tongue in cheek: “Yours in Profit, %20”  a play on the common salutation ‘Your in “blank’” but also ends up in a way meaning that all profits be his or whom ever claims prior authorship/ownership control.

On selling violating the CC license, pragmatically yes, it's weather or not Fair Use can trump the cc licenses.  and i would say yes to that.  but i don't think a court setting would classify this type of commentary sound file F.U., it would be a change in their current patterns.  they understand parody but not commentary.  and my goals aren't to proove the licensing scheme to be worthless, it to remind Chuck of his roots and for him to be honest with himself and hopefully remind him which side got him to where he is now.
 
The "we're not gonna let you in unless you play by our rules." was actually Chuck D talking about the industy from an EFF Radio stream, yet here he is support a new set of rules.  Then he’s got the Wired Magazine quote.  Chuck’s all over the place.
