Venezuela Bolivariana: People and Struggle of The Four World War.

Category: Documentary
Description:
This 76 min documentary examines the Bolivarian Revolution of Venezuela as connected to the worldwide movement against capitalist globalisation. The film shows the evolution of the popular movement in Venezuela from the Caracazo riots in 1989 to the massive actions that brought revolutionary president Hugo Chavez back to power, 48 hours after a U.S. led military coup in 2002. The main theme is how the Bolivarian Revolution, thanks to its incredible grassroots and networking power, is a Revolution that transcends the national frontiers of Venezuela and contributes with concrete alternatives to the fight against neoliberal capitalism. By Marcelo Andrade Arreaza & the Calle y Media collective www.calleymedia.org marcelo@calleymedia.org Duration 76 min Spanish (English subtitles) Creative Commons license: Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/

Publishing Open Content, Confronting some business decisions - (Ogg Theora)

Category: Documentary
Description:
"Cameron Parkins, September 22nd, 2008 Publishing Open Content is a short documentary by Frances Pinter and David Percy that looks at how Creative Commons licenses can be utilized in a commercial setting. The film features interviews with Tom Reynolds, blogger behind Random Acts of Reality and author of Blood, Sweat, and Tea, Timo Hannay, Publishing Director at nature.com, and John Buckman, founder of netlabel Magnatune. The interviews provide some key insights into how these three disparate individuals combined CC licenses with a successful business plan, a common thread being that by giving away something for free another commodity can be sold. Filmmaker Pinter also heads a CC-based publishing project in Africa titled Publishing and Alternative Licensing Model of Africa (PALM), of which the information discussed in the documentary has major interest (via Ad Astra). http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/9620 " ### Discussion ### Join the Google Groups Discussion and Mailing List about Publishing Open Content, meet other publishers and share your experiences, thoughts and advice. http://groups.google.com/group/publishing-open-content ### Copyright Notice ### (c) 2008 Frances Pinter and David Percy (attribute http://www.bloomsburyacademic.com) under the Some Rights Reserved Creative Commons License Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0 Information Links: http://www.bloomsburyacademic.com http://randomreality.blogware.com http://www.amazon.co.uk/Blood-Swea[...]294&sr=1-1 http://www.thefridayproject.co.uk http://network.nature.com/people/timo/profile http://www.nature.com http://blogs.magnatune.com http://www.magnatune.com http://bookmooch.com http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Buckman http://craphound.com http://creativecommons.org Video Information: Running Time: 34 mins Video Format: Ogg Theora OGM Dimensions: 720x576 Aspect Ration: 5/4 Standard: PAL Frame rate: 25.000 fps Size: 651 MB Date: Thursday 26th March, 2009 Search Tags: creative commons, publishing, open content, documentary, David Percy, Frances Pinter, Tom Reynolds, Timo Hannay, John Buckman, Stephen Judge, Cory Doctorow, nature, blogging, writing, books, Ogg Theora Production Director: Frances Pinter and David Percy Producer: Frances Pinter and David Percy Writer: Frances Pinter and David Percy Cast: Tom Reynolds Timo Hannay John Buckman

Intellectual Property: info's power & why P2P's under attack

Category: Talks, Debates, Interviews
Description:
In this lecture given by Jorge Cortell to the Norwegian UNIX Users Group (NUUG) on the 17th of November, 2005, Mr. Cortell discusses the idea of intellectual property and how - at it's core - it is simultaneously absurd, prohibitive to human progress, socially suicidal and probably just another corporate grab for money and power. Closer to home, Cortell portrays file sharing as more akin to marketing than stealing, and he backs this assertion up by showing that sales for "intellectual property" have actually risen since the rise of P2P. Jorge Cortell-Albert taught Intellectual Property Law and eCommerce for the Multimedia Internet Applications Masters Degree at the Polytechnic University of Valencia (Spain) before he was fired due to pressure from corporate media interests. Jorge is also an active lecturer and researcher focusing on the interplay of business, technology, and intellectual property law, and the impact that interplay has on consumers and politics. http://jorge.cortell.net/ http://boingboing.net/2005_05_01_archive.html Spanish Copyright Society Hounds University Teacher Out of Job by Cory Doctorow May 20, 2005 I just got an email from my friend Jorge Cortell, a copyfighter and academic in Spain, whom I met at the Creative Commons Espa? launch this year. Jorge teaches "Intellectual Property" in the Masters program at the Polytechnic University of Valencia UPV. He proposed to give a talk on the benefits of P2P and talk about the law relating to P2P and copyright in Spain. He proposed to demo what sort of legal uses one could make of copyrighted works from P2P networks, and informed the Spanish collecting society, the national police and the attorney general to let them know what he was up to. They responded by leaning on the Dean, who cancelled Jorge's venue. Jorge booked another venue, and the Dean cancelled it. So Jorge moved his talk to the cafeteria, and delivered a five hour session to a packed house. On May 4, the Dean ordered the director of Jorge's program to demand his resignation, which he tendered. The Vice-Dean then added insult to injury by issuing a statement saying that Jorge had never taught at the university (!), in a surreal, Stalinist purge (Jorge has taught at the University for five years). This is a shameful act of censorship and a betrayal of the principles of academic freedom. It's a national shame that Spain's powerful collecting societies can simply order the termination of any university teacher who teaches things that displease them.

Toward that end, anyone reading this has my permission to borrow or modify the text and photos in this post. What's at stake is much more than the freedom to watch or listen to copies of music or video. If you love P2P, the freedom to openly discuss ideas, even the freedom to whistle your favorite song while driving your car, now's the time to stand up for those freedoms because - as ludicrous as it sounds - corporate power is likely to try to make you pay cash money for all of that. At the same time, the "Corporatocracy" is surely committing suicide by imposing such harsh restrictions and fines over the most mundane aspects of contemporary life, and it's narrow-sighted pursuit of profit over individual choice will certainly drag us all down with it. That is, unless we do something to stop it. pb
