It was a great party last night. Thanks to Glenn especially, but everyone from Creative Commons. We've released a new flash which is not yet on the CC site, but it is here (warning -- 7 mg large. We'll be producing and posting a lower sound quality version soon.)

Nice work, I remember reading about this when you started this up, and it said it's only been 8 months!! That was pretty surprising, it feels like 2 years. Maybe that's my sense of timing telling me something this successful can't become this successful in less than a year?
In any case, it was interesting to see some of the new ideas, including the samplign license and the others beyond that. Is there anywhere (online) where some brainstorming for these is going on?
Check out http://creativecommons.org for all the discussion around the new ideas.
So, I'm a big booster of Creative Commons, but I have to say I'm always disappointed by this Flash hoohaw. I realize that Creative Commons is pretty agnostic about Free Software, but it sure would be nice to have versions of the movie that didn't require the closed, proprietary Flash format. Kinda wish I could see what's in there!
Your references to "poetry" first in your initial experiment with legal newsgroup at Yale and more recently in blogs in the commons are memorable. Hope you post the text. Congratulations and thanks.
Evan, as always, we at the Creative Commons have looked to free software alternatives whenever possible, but the limits of current SMIL and SVG clients and creation software is too limited for what we want to convey.
This is great. Very well done. I tried explaining the CC to a few of my friends back around the launch. I made a little headway. They understood the mechanics of the systems. They failed to see the potential though. I think this will be very helpful for me when I try to explain this system to them again.
Great job on the new Flash. It was great to see it unveiled last night at the party, which was a great event. Thanks CC!!
One problem with Flash is that I almost always ignore anything in Flash, so it doesn't communicate anything at all. I just don't need to turn on an ad engine (Flash) and asking me to do so to see PR isn't really the best of ideas. A collection of HTML pages or images would probably do the job better - I'd look at them. No plans to look at the Flash.
I loved the short. It was really well done.
Is it in any way possible to put the file out there for people to build off of or is that the issue that people are having about flash? I remembering hearing about the contest, but I didn't think there was any way I could fully describe and animate a short. What I could do though, was to add pieces and suggestons. Can the next short be an open collaboration somehow?
Also, I've looked around on the Creative Commons site for an explanation, but I still can't seem to find an answer. I'm hoping someone can answer this question for me. How can I, as a user of Creative Commons content, be sure that the content was created soley by the person who put the CC license on the work? What if the author of the work put a CC license on a piece of music without knowing that one of the samples they used to create the piece was actually copyrighted? Can someone please clarify that for me.
thanks
Jeff
Could it be possible to have the source (.fla) of the animation?
As it is cc licenced it would be easy for others to produce an alternative version, say a video encoded with xvid and ogg.
I call BS on that last post... the flash movie rocked... don't watch it if you don't want to.
BTW, Willem is a gorgeous child!
we'll be putting the .fla file out soon under the cc-gpl, (in English!), very soon. and we'll put the raw illustrator files up soon, too. thanks!

What does "calling BS" mean, Joe? And I don't see what's the problem with making some content available under different technologies.
Will be looking to it, Glenn
It was interesting to see some of the new ideas. Thanks.
NO, You can't say so!
Are you sure?
