A short video on Commons Based Reciprocity Licenses | P2P Foundation | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

Work on developing Commons Based Reciprocity Licenses (or CBRLs, for short) continues apace here at the P2P Foundation. When speaking of the types of licenses, we often find it hard to explain how they fill a niche in the alt. license spectrum, falling somewhere between the straight up copyleft and the popular Creative Commons Non-Commercial License.

Hacking Art & Culture with F.A.T. Lab | Off Book | PBS on Organized Wonder | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

As we become more and more engaged with the internet in every aspect of our lives, powerful questions have arisen regarding the ownership of digital media and information, the relationship between corporations, governments, and individuals online, the power of pop culture influence, and the dissolving border between the digital and physical worlds. Taking these issues head-on is The Free Art & Technology (F.A.T.) Lab. An international group of 21 artists, hackers, thinkers, designers, developers, and entrepreneurs, F.A.T. Lab employs art, activism, pop culture, and a wealth of knowledge about how the internet works to create projects that challenge people and institutions to think a little deeper about this new world we all live in.

Video of the Day: Bittunes – Super Distribution meets CC meets Bitcoin

Video of the Day: Bittunes – Super Distribution meets CC meets Bitcoin | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

Bittunes is about empowering the end-user. It is about monetization of digital exchange between peers. As this is something which is impossible with traditional currencies, bitcoin was the perfect solution. I had the pleasure of meeting Simon Edhouse, Bittunes’ CEO, in Bitcoin Singapore 2013, and I fell in-love with his project. To use his words, ‘one thing is certain, everything has changed’. Simon has developed a fantastic platform that will allow independent artists to self publish their music, and by empowering their fans, empower themselves. I see great future to Bittunes, and I wish Simon and his family all the best for 2014 and beyond. I had the pleasure of recording an extremely insightful interview with Simon, I hope you enjoy.
