Mia Garlick gives a basic explanation of what
Creative Commons is all about and how it relates to re-mixing and videoblogging. This is an MP3 recording of a 23 minute presentation that was delivered at the Ex’pression College of Digital Arts during the Outhink sponsored
XpressionVlog event on Friday, November 18th, 2005.

We’re putting on a videoblogging presentation and event at the Ex’pression College of Digital Art on Friday. Here’s the first post to the

I just found this banner in the sidebar of a site that Raymond had mentioned in a recent post to the Yahoo Videoblogging Group. Interesting site.
Today, the rights of individuals are being eroded: by government, by
corporations, by society itself. This icon — the Individual-i —
represents the rights of the individual…
I like this alternate image too: 
Carry a camera, go to jail?

"What is The Law? The Law says:"
Artists’ Rights and Theft Prevention Act of 2005 or ART Act - (Sec.
102) Amends the Federal criminal code to prohibit the unauthorized,
knowing use or attempted use of a video camera or similar device…
…
Sets forth penalties for such violations, which may include
imprisonment for not more than three years for a first offense.
Considers the possession of a recording device in a movie theater as
evidence in any proceeding to determine whether that person committed
such an offense, but shall not, by itself, be sufficient to support a
conviction for such offense.
…Authorizes, with reasonable cause, the owner, lessee, authorized agent,
or employee of a movie theater to detain, in a reasonable manner and
for a reasonable time, any person suspected of committing such an
offense for the purpose of questioning that person or summoning a law
enforcement officer…
(Sec. 103) Establishes criminal penalties for willful copyright
infringement by the distribution of a computer program, musical work,
motion picture or other audiovisual work, or sound recording being
prepared for commercial distribution by making it available on a
computer network accessible to members of the public, if the person
knew or should have known that the work was intended for commercial
distribution.

So now theatre ushers are cops? That should be good training for when they grow up and become Homeland Security agents. What’s next? Camera registration?
