Hi Hector

I had the idea recently of setting up a 'Copyright in the Digital Age' 
type seminar for people in the music industry and inviting people like 
Simon Frith and Pat Kane (a supporter of CC) to speak.

Glasgow would probably be the better location for an event like that but 
holding a more general event in Edinburgh about creativity and copyright 
could be really good and I would love to see it happen.

Best.

   Dear Paul
    
   If my Centre was to try to organise something, do you think its
   central Edinburgh location would be an advantage/disadvantage?

       This sounds really interesting Adnan. Perhaps people up here in
       Scotland would be interested in organising a similar kind of
       event to help spread the word about CC in the creative communities?
        
       Also, it would be good to get some feedback about the Brighton
       symposium for those of us who weren't able to make it down...
        
       Cheers.

           Liquid Culture 5.06

           Creative Commons, Free Culture and Free Software: Workshop
           organized by LiquidCulture

           Wednesday 1st June 2005, 5-7pm, Venue: room MB137 (Main
           Building)
           Admission is free, but please register in advance at
           http://liquidculture.info/5.06/register

           Sharing, remixing and developing culture, ideas and
           communication - the Goldsmiths experience.

           -------------
           The workshop will also host the launch of the Goldsmiths
           College's Free Culture local chapter - the first chapter of
           the Free Culture students movement outside the USA!

           The Creative Commons project (creativecommons.org) builds
           upon the "all rights reserved" of traditional copyright to
           create a voluntary "some rights reserved" copyright. Artists
           and authors choose to set free their creative works for
           certain uses, thus contributing to the Creative Commons
           environment while retaining some rights on their own work.

           Instead of creating artificial barriers in the access to
           culture, Creative Commons artists and authors contribute to
           an inclusive, non-discriminatory and distributed creative
           environment where creativity can coexist with economic
           exploitation, now free from the increasingly restrictive
           default copyright rules that benefit only the big
           oligopolistic media corporations. With a voluntary,
           libertarian and democratic contribution to the Creative
           Commons artists and authors continuously reshape and develop
           the global cultural environment to the benefit of the
           community and not of a few media companies, thus getting
           back much more than what they contribute.


           Sharing and remixing of creative works is made easier by
           Free Software tools for content creation, editing and
           publishing; the freedom to run those software applications
           for any purpose, to adapt them to specific needs and to
           freely redistribute them for others to use or extend even
           more is a central element to the cultural richness,
           diversity and evolution of the Creative Commons environment.


           The *Liquid Culture 5.06* workshop is a starting point for
           the review of existing free culture and free software work
           at Goldsmiths College and for further development and
           coordination between efforts in the various departments,
           centres and units, and it will be followed by broader
           symposia in the coming months, focused on topics such as the
           economic viability of free software and free culture, the
           gift economy, collective intelligence and participatory
           politics.
