At the launch of Creative Commons Brazil in Porto Alegre, in June 2004, 
Gilberto Gil, the Brazilian Minister of Culture and one of Brazil's 
most famous musicians, signed a symbolic CC license. This piece is a 
combination of CC-history and Brazilian cultural history. Gil was one

Brazil and all over the world.

Pre-print of Cory Doctorow’s forthcoming novel Little Brother
http://tinyurl.com/23q4f3
A signed set of pre-publication galleys from his forthcoming, 
to-be-CC-licensed novel, Little Brother. Cory Doctorow is a blogger, 
journalist and science fiction author. He is active in the Free Culture 
Movement, and speaks and writes extensively about liberalizing 
copyright laws, digital rights management, file sharing, Disney, and 
post-scarcity economics. He is a proponent of the Creative Commons 
organisation, and uses some of their licenses for his books. Little 
Brother is his latest book, as yet unpublished, which is written for 
young adults. It is about hackers who declare war on the Department of 
Homeland Security, and can be seen as a how-to guide for young culture 
and technology jammers.


Five Bookmooch books from Bookmooch Founder, John Buckman
http://tinyurl.com/27yo2h
BookMooch is an international, on-line book exchange community founded 
by John Buckman in July 2006. It has around 40,000 members, and 
membership is open to anyone and is free. BookMooch uses a points 
system for exchanging books, and members earn points by adding books to 
their inventories, sending books to other members and providing 
feedback when they receive books. The points earned can then be used to 
“buy” books from other members. All books “cost” the same number of 
points, with a small point surcharge for international mooches.
