Thought I'd draw everyone's attention to a great new CC-based site that's
just launched in Australia. 

60Sox (http://60sox.org.au <http://60sox.org.au/> ) is an online network
aimed at connecting creative talent with industry professionals. By
providing a home to showcase their digital wares, 60sox gives creators the
opportunity to generate exposure, make industry contacts, receive feedback
and critical appraisal from peers and industry DSLs (dead set legends) - all
with the aim of helping them to actually get paid for their work. What sets
60Sox apart from the other professional portfolio and user-generated content
sites is the
<http://60sox.org.au/main.aspx?page=2bobmob%20Who&mode=display> '2bobmob', a
forum of industry professionals who provide constructive feedback and advice
to 60sox members. These professionals have committed to commenting on a
certain number of works a month, and are able to provide their own ratings
to boost material to the front page. Although 60Sox has only been online for
a few weeks, the 2bobmob already includes such high-profile experts as
author John Birmingham, DJ Kid Kenobi and Simon Cahill of Sony/BMG.

>From a CC point of view, we're particularly excited by how 60Sox has
incorporated the licences into their upload process, which we think provides
a great best-practice model for other sites. It uses the CC
"Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike Australia 2.5" licence as its default
upload licence, but gives users the option to use another CC licence, or
even all rights reserved if they wish. It also has a comprehensive, flexible
and easy to follow upload system which clearly displays and explains the
default licence. Members can set a default licence for all of their works,
and are reminded of this licence and given the option to change it each time
they upload. Further, they can choose a different licence for individual
items and change the licence on a work at any time. And it's even funny
while it does it!
