(1) THE WIRED CD

(a) We're on the cover of what the Chicago Tribune calls "the best  
magazine in America": WIRED Magazine. You've got about another week or  
two to grab the November issue from the newsstands. In case you've been  
living underground this month: The issue ships with a 16-song CD  
including tunes by the Beastie Boys, Gilberto Gil, David Byrne, Le  
Tigre, Matmos, and many others. All the songs are filesharing- and  
sampling-friendly under Creative Commons sampling licenses -- as WIRED  
says, "It's copyright for the 21st century."

The WIRED spread, by the way, is amazing: pieces by Thomas Goetz,  
Lawrence Lessig, Hilary Rosen (yes, that Hilary Rosen), and Julian  
Dibbell (on Brazil as "open-source nation").

(b) Press hits on the WIRED CD:

Too many to list here -- NY Times, Wall Street Journal, NPR, and many  
more. See below (under (6) Press) for a full list of links, or see  
<http://creativecommons.org/press/>.

(c) NYC Benefit Concert

Read more about the bash -- featuring Gilberto Gil and David Byrne --  
that WIRED threw on CC's behalf to kick off the WIRED CD:

(2) MOZILLA'S FIREFOX 1.0

(a) Mozilla's industry-leading browser Firefox 1.0 debuted recently.  
That's good news in and of itself, but here's the icing on the cake:  
Firefox 1.0 also ships with Creative Commons' unique search technology  
built into its toolbar (alongside the search services of Google, Yahoo,  
Amazon.com, Dictionary.com, and eBay).

(b) Get Firefox

Download the web's best browser now: <http://www.mozilla.org/>.

(c) Try out the CC Search

Our newly updated search engine, powered by Nutch.org, is  
one-of-a-kind. Full copyright applies to most stuff on the web, but our  
search engine can help you find photos, music, text, and other works  
whose authors want you to re-use it for some uses -- without having to  
pay royalties or ask permission first.

My favorite example: Try looking for Creative Commons-licensed images  
of the Eiffel Tower . . .  
<http://search.creativecommons.org/index.jsp? 
q=eiffel+tower&format=Image>.

(3) EXPANSION

(a) We've brought on key leadership personnel as the new Science  
Commons opens and our International Commons maintains its explosive  
growth. The newest Commoner is Mark Resch  
<http://creativecommons.org/about/people#33>, the overall CEO of  
Creative Commons, a position we recently created to help coordinate our  
increasingly rapid international growth and the opening of our new  
Science Commons branch, to be led by new Science Commons Executive  
Director John Wilbanks <http://creativecommons.org/about/people#34>.  
Creative Commons? long-time leadership team, led by Executive Director  
Glenn Otis Brown, Assistant Director Neeru Paharia, and international  
affairs directors Christiane Asschenfeldt and Roland Honekamp, will  
continue on in more specialized versions of their roles. CEO Resch will  
coordinate the activities of Creative Commons (Brown, Paharia), Science  
Commons (Wilbanks), and the International Commons (Asschenfeldt) while  
also driving development for the overall organization.

Taiwan.

French licenses on November 19; our Belgian licenses on December 10;

own Matt Haughey and the good people at Adaptive Path,

to navigate and use to find what you want. Give it a shot,
