Fixing compulsory licensing

Aaron Swartz has an idea worth thinking about for helping artists get paid out of a tax on technology: "Here’s the key to my proposal: when you pay the tax you get a vote." Assuming it works for music, does it work for other kinds of creative output as well? [via Andrew Grumet]

Sure, I'll take both

Fame *and* fortune (if you're good enough).

Clay Shirky said "with the power to publish directly in their hands, many creative people face a dilemma they've never had before: fame vs fortune."
Cory Doctorow says: "luckily for me, it appears that giving away the text for free gets me more paying customers than it loses me." A bunch of new stories are available for download, and they're just as great as his others. [HubLog]

Reading over Peter's shoulder

Peter has been thinking of interesting stuff to do with free literature.

I’m toying with a small project that I think is quite interesting. A while ago, I learned that Richard Gabriel had released his book Patterns of Software for free (PDF). It doesn’t say so on his site or in the PDF yet, but his intention (I mailed him about this) was to release it under the same Creative Commons license that most of his other material is made available under. This gave me the idea to annotate it as I’m reading it.

Then I thought about publishing an RSS feed along with the annotated book, where each item would point to an annotation. This is an interesting variation of the weblog concept. The front page would perhaps aggregate the latest n annotations, which can be clicked to visit the annotated passage.

Peter has started annotating the preface to Gabriel's book here.

Tihs has been baeetn to daeth

David Harris on the "Elingsh uinervtisy" memegraph: 

[...] my Friday version spread pretty quickly through blogspace when it wasn't yet floating all over the web but the latest version which has only had a day to propagate in an already saturated web, hasn't made any impact, presumably because everybody already knows about it or people are just linking to the entry without copying the text now.

For tracking the meme, Michael recommends this Feedster query.

Fellow Canadian Jeremy Hiebert has an interesting instructional design and technology blog I hadn't noticed before. Jeremy, you've got another subscriber!

Freeing the music

If you're looking for freely downloadable sheet music, this section of the Google directory is a good starting point. In particular Mutopia is the Project Gutenberg of sheet music. Here's a PDF of Scott Joplin's ragtime piece The Entertainer (which was on The Sting's soundtrack).

Too bad we'll have to wait a century or two before we can freely get sheet music for many artists who are alive.

There's other good news on the free music front. Robert Nagle's new Share the Music blog offers "Recommendations for Great Free MP3's and Music Sharing Technologies". His introduction states,

While writing my piece in which I call for more sharing of music, I realize that the heart of the problem is not really technological or legal, but journalistic. It’s very hard to find out what musicians are out there. The radio stations have strict playlists, sites like mp3.com are promoting an artist’s CD’s, and IUMA is woefully slow and hard to navigate through.

Makes sense. If musicians could all take a cue from Brad Sucks and start posting mp3s of their work on a blog and spreading the linklove among themselves, I say the problem would be half solved.

(Do follow the link in that quote above - Robert has obviously been thinking about this a great deal.)

Poor Tanzania

Tanzania loses Name to Tanning-Salon Chain [The Onion] - what is it about the Onion? All their links seem to break almost instantly. I linked to the Google cache; not sure how long it will last.

Stewart on M2M

Stewart has kicked off his guestblogging stint on Many-to-Many with an enjoyable report from the "Social Networking: Is There a Business Model?" event at Stanford. By the way, did you know Stewart was a founder of the famed 5k Web development contest? (If you don't know about it, you could start out with this 5-kilobyte Wolfenstein implementation - impressive, or the ABC kaleidoscope- friggin cool.)

Radio TrackBack to TopicExchange test

Phil writes that Radio Userland should now automatically ping whatever TopicExchange channel one links to. I'm testing it out right now by linking to the topics in weblogs channel.

(Pardon the jargon if you're here for the first time.)

Update: it worked! More impressively, if you compare the timestamps, the TopicExchange appears to have known about my ping before I even published the post. Gotta revisit my special relativity courses.

Now I wonder if it will ping again when I republish...
