As an artist who puts everything he makes (so far) under a creative commons license, I have a vested interest in this comment. Why is Lessig defending the rights of people to violate copyright laws, when he himself helped to set up a whole system under which people would have thousands of tracks to use legally? These artists whose songs are being used don't want to be used in random videos (at least their record companies don't want them to be) and there are thousands of artists out there releasing their music under CC licenses who DO want their music to be used.

Why isn't Lessig helping undiscovered artists to get exposure, rather than suggesting that people should be allowed to play the same old crap that's been overplayed since year zero? I'm a bit disappointed in this logic, I must admit.

Bob the angry flower is on his way RE: apostrophe.

I made an album in 2 weeks back last may, one track per day with a total of 3 days off, all by my lonesome. It's here: http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/6575

Yes, that includes writing the songs.

I might take part in this, since I have nothing to do at the moment. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
