CASH Music, the CC license using music label/creative community CC has discussed numerous times before, a wonderful new Creative Commons Portal for understanding how CC licenses can be utilized by record labels and artists.

Bandcamp, a music site that focuses on providing musicians with robust, easy-to-use, and visually pleasing artist pages, just integrated CC licensing options in to their UI.

Foodista is a new online destination for those interested in all things culinary-related. The site is divided into four sections - recipes, foods, tools and techniques - and is based around the idea that community knowledge and sharing can result in a better resource than one built by a restricted and closed group. As such, the folks behind Foodista have “developed a system to let everyone edit content to make it better rather than have multiple versions of the same recipe.” At its core, this system is based around a site-wide CC BY license.

Applejux from netaudio.es has put some Spanish netlabels on Google maps: if you have a netlabel, you can always contribute, and put yourself on the map.

The people from archive.org have made a compilation of "How to ..." movies. "How to Make a Political T-Shirt" and "How to Brew Beer" are my favorites.

cheers!

A dutch company has developed a font, special for ecofriendly printing: the Ecofont.
The font looks like Emmenthal cheese, or like a lettertype that's been used in a Sergio Leone movie.

"Appealing ideas are often simple: how much of a letter can be removed while maintaining readability? After extensive testing with all kinds of shapes, the best results were achieved using small circles. After lots of late hours (and coffee) this resulted in a font that uses up to 20% less ink. Free to download, free to use."

The Ecofont is distributed under GPL and based upon Bitstream Vera.

And thanks to Marco Kalnenek from previous blog, we discovered that there's a netlabel dedicated to kids: "Kazoomzoom".
From their website: "Kazoomzoom.com is the world's first netlabel devoted to children. Our little community is making history together! The netlabel features music for kids (by kids and by cool grownups), as well as audio stories, videos, printable books and paper toys. All of it is free to stream and download.
The Kazoomzoom website and content is all created and shared by volunteers. Nothing is being sold to children.
We encourage people of all ages to add their music, stories, art and other content for kids at Kazoomzoom.com. Illustrators, musicians, story readers and writers, toy makers and other artists choose whatever copyright system they prefer for their submissions, from full rights to public domain."

I certainly liked their "Silly Songs", "La Valise aux Mille Voyages", and " Our Corto Discorso ".

This is definitely recommended stuff for teachers and other people working with children.

The copyright on Popeye has expired in the EU in jan. 2009, it expires in 2024 in the US: read more.
There's also an article in dutch "Verbrand je vingers niet aan copyright ", where the author explains in a plain simple language what copyright (in dutch it is called author-right and differs slightly with the anglo-saxon copyright) is all about, and also gives the advise to beginining artists to use the Creative Commons license.

How copyright extension in sound recordings actually works:
- come to the event 'Sound copyright: which way for the EU?' on 27 jan. in Brussels
- what's this all about?
- watch this movie

Sabam ziet zich genoodzaakt om 57 medewerkers, zijnde 16,4 pct. van het personeelsbestand te ontslaan. Ze doet dit om in de grondig veranderende Europese context haar positie te consolideren op de Europese markt.

Netwaves.bpm's RuE9 presents Alt-recordings as an accompagnying dish for new year's
walking dinner. A minimal starter wil tease your appetite for a funky walk
through a headblasing/hipbreaking platedancing evening. A sweet dessert of soft baking beats are ending the connection between braincels and floor.
Bon appetit!
