The idea is again to make it clear that we care about copyrights and artists, and that we are not free loaders. We'll been facing similar issues as with Free Software vs freeware, or endless discussion about the inclusion of CC-BY-NC-ND licenses... LL is Laurence Lessig by the way, just didn't have enough space to put the full name (I'll probably add a link or something). Fred

Great great news! One question, tho, do we really want this sentence in the website? "A culture without property, or in which creators can't get paid, is anarchy, not freedom." - L.L I can see people reading that and thinking that we're against free (as in beer) music like those from the netlabels, for instance... > PS: and SFD will still happen on September 15th 2012!

Celebrate Free Culture with us on May 19th 2012

by Frederic Muller - SFI

Dear all, It is with great pleasure that we are announcing a new celebration in the lines of Software Freedom Day focusing on Free Culture. Over the years SFD gradually promoted Free Culture next to Software Freedom and we believe it is now time to have a specific event for Free Culture. Why is that so you may ask? We feel for starter that the audience and participants are quite a different audience from the people interested in software. In fact artists from the Free Culture movement often use proprietary software for plenty of reasons and wouldn't feel compelled to participate in SFD (or event know about it). Then the format should probably be different. While SFD tries to showcase Free Software and explains all the great things you could do with it, a day to celebrate Free Culture should definitely showcase Free Culture work, that is: - exhibitions - concerts - movie projections - surely more What we have envisioned is a day where all the Free Culture artists around the world could walk in the street and play, act or showcase their work and explain to people what Free Culture is and why they have chosen to contribute to the movement. Of course there could also be some amount of discussions and debates, but we should definitely stay away from long presentations and make it a real festival where the general public would come and simply enjoy the show while learning about those artists. The side idea is also to give free culture artists one international day where they can unite and make themselves heard all together. We are seeing way too many attacks on culture these days with copyright extensions and abuse of consumer rights of fair use, or lobbyists trying to lock away public funded work for example. So 2012 will be the first year and we will start contacting various Free Culture supporting organizations to get their support. In the meantime we have launched the Culture Freedom Day website at http://www.culturefreedomday.org and hopefully should have the registration and the wiki up and running fairly soon. So if you have any connections with Free Culture Artists, Art schools or universities, art galleries, pubs that organize live music, restaurant which do photo/painting exhibitions maybe you should talk to them to see how they feel about organizing a CFD event. Discussion about CFD will be happening on the CFD forum at http://www.culturefreedomday.org/forum and we also have an IRC channel on Freenode @ #cfday for the geeks among us. So thank you all to spread the word, 'identi.cate', twit, blog and tell your family and friends! ----------- Digital Freedom International (newly renamed to encompass our new activities) PS: and SFD will still happen on September 15th 2012!
