how cc works

There's a great example of how Creative Commons works on its blog. A clip: "About a month after submitting a few acoustic guitar tracks to Opsound's sound pool [and thus releasing the song under an Attribution-ShareAlike license], I got an email from a violinist named Cora Beth, who had added a violin track to one of the guitar tracks..."

This is getting very cool.

It's a beautiful piece. And a great way to illustrate the value of CC to someone who perhaps doesn't quite get it. Explaining the concept is one thing, but playing this piece for them, and revealing how that violin likely would never have met that guitar without the internet and a Creative Commons license, can make the point in an emotional way.

I have made this piece ("My Life Changed") the default music for my iPhoto slide shows, so as to help smuggle this subject into future conversations.
