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.
