HI Oiwan,
Sorry if I did not make it clear, I worked in CASH during
1989-2001.

Dear All,
It is really great to have friends from CASH
in this list. We need more cultural workers to discuss about cc localization.
Am connected with some lawyers (associated with civic party) should i
bring them in? There are also some independent film makers, local writers
(newspapers columnists) and independent music band that would be interested to
join in.

Dear All,
I am new to the list, thanks Eric Eldred for
re-starting this CC-HK communications with the help of Catharina Maracke in
CCi Berlin.
I have special interests in the subject as
I have a long history of involvements in practising music
copyright being the CEO of Composers and Authors Society of Hong Kong
(CASH). This kind of organization is also commonly known as
"collecting society" or "authors' society", so it seems that it serves the
dual purpose of collective administration of certain copyright of creators
which they are unable to enforce by themselves, as well
as representing the interests of authors, be it financially,
culturally or morally. The reality is not quite the same
naturally.
2 years ago, I was hooked with Prof. Wang
Chunyan, the person in charge of CC-China, and one year later in conjunction
with the launch of CC-China, I managed to release digitally the first music
album under CC-China 2.5 license, known as Pat Pet by a talented girl Mongo
So from Guangzhou. The full album is available in my company website
(http://www.imaginecorp.net/cc.htm) and it is still
recording several thousand downloads each month after one year.
I am very pleased to see many people in this list and
it is very timely to have more exchanges due to the current law reform
consultation. I was telephone interviewed by a TVB journalist last
month about my views on the law reform proposal, as he found my name
associated with both CASH in the past and CC-China which seems like a
very interesting mix.
