"Prof. Robert Brauneis of GW Law School has done a mind-boggling amount of research into the origins and copyright history of 'Happy Birthday to You,' a song that still makes $2m per year for its copyright owner. Not only does Prof. Brauneis debunk many old myths about the song, he also concludes that the song is almost certainly in the public domain, although it's probably too expensive for anyone to actually prove that in court. But Prof. Brauneis is posting more than 200 documents unearthed in his research, so you all now have a head start." [from BoingBoing.net] UPDATE |

A fantastic new remix website has been recently launched. Go check it out...here.
This country is a remix, it's what we do. What did Jefferson and Paine and Adams do but mashup history, take a little from the Magna Carta, a little from John Locke, and a whole lot of rebellion. Now, thanks to the web and digital technology, everyone can join in.
This is a unique moment in our history -- We can rediscover the promise of the Declaration of Independence next to the music of Louis Armstrong next to the beats of the Beastie Boys and clips of our candidates talking about "Changes." Every one of us can own our best expressions of liberty, democracy and freedom, remix them as they see fit, and share them with the world.
RemixAmerica.org is a multi-partisan, non-profit website that uses digital technology to give everyone the chance to own the words, the music, the images and sounds of America in digital form; to remix those expressions and ideas with their own; and to send the products of our community's creativity out to the world... where others will come back to us and start it all over again...
There's no telling where this can go – we want to be the place where millions can post their dreams, their hopes, their frustrations about our country via text, video responses and remixes...
We want to be a home for the millions of voices that can change the National conversation.
Think of this as the new digital public square. Suggest new videos and ideas here. Tell your friends. Spread the word.
Create a remix, talk back, or leave a comment...there's plenty of ways to join the conversation.
This is our moment. It's time to Remix America!

Nokia has hired award-winning director Spike Lee to make a short movie based on amateur cell phone videos. The film, according to the director, will have three acts of 3-5 minutes apiece, "with the theme loosely based on the concept of humanity." Yeah, it sounds incredibly boring to us, too.
Why couldn't the project involve user-submitted cellphone clips from post-Katrina New Orleans? Shots of urban street life and racial conflict in the Bronx? Rival fraternities at a historically-black college in the South? Or cellphone videos of bank robberies? Because all of those projects, while far more interesting and much more up Lee's alley, would be way too real for Nokia's marketing department, which is clearly far more comfortable back in Finland, slapping themselves with birch branches in the sauna and jumping outside to roll around in the snow before coming inside with a brilliant idea for a new promotional campaign.

MP3tunes' CEO Michael Robertson sent out an email to all users of the online music backup and place-shifting service MP3tunes.com, asking them to help publicize EMI's ridiculous and ignorant lawsuit against the company. EMI believes that consumers aren't allowed to store their music files online, and that MP3tunes is violating copyright law by providing a backup service. (And we're not using a euphemism here—it really is a backup/place-shifting service and not a file sharing site in disguise.)
