Free and Creative Culture


Bill Moyers' Address to the National Conference for Media, Memphis, Tennessee (January 2007).
The video is in two parts; be sure to see both.  A transcript of the speech can be found below the window for Part II.


A Fair(Y) Use Tale by the Media Education Foundation uses snippets of Disney films to explain fair use. 
Worth watching.

Free Culture Blog
FreeCulture.org was founded by two Swarthmore students after they sued voting-machine manufacturer
Diebold for abusing copyright law in 2003. Named after the book Free Culture by Stanford University
law professor, Lawrence Lessig. FreeCulture.org is part of a growing movement, with roots in the free
software / open source community, media activists, creative artists and writers, and civil libertarians.
