The Creative UnCommons

What is The Creative Uncommons?

TCUC is a half magazine, half community hub site for the Creative Commons music scene. Unlike the CC music distribution sites, NetLabels and blogs it aims to act more as an active, involving resource for anyone interested or involved in the world of free music, as opposed to a provider of services or passive content.  Or to paraphrase in a slightly less ridiculous way, it’s a free music site with some bits that people can read, some bits they can post on and some bits they can contribute to.

As of today the Net Label Coalition’s Forums are officially live! Both in content and set up they’re a little minimal at the moment but improvements are pending as the Coalition starts to take shape and define what it is, as well as finding out what works and what doesn’t. There’s the potential for it to become an important resource for labels, artists and fans alike but only if you, the labels and the fans, get involved in promoting and supporting it. There have been enough failed attempts to create something like this within the free music community and only by bringing in as many people as possible and supporting it as much as possible will this time be any different so please, if you’ve got a news feed on your site, a blog or just a mailing list of your own please promote this launch as far and wide as you can.

The immediate discussions about what the Coalition can and should be are the first step to be taken and there’s a lot to be done before things are truly launched but we’re a community of hundreds of thousands of people; we’ve got the brains, the ideas and the resources to make this something good, so now we just need to do it.

great ressource and place
i’m not that much fan of the name which evocates an uncertain, but certainly egomaniac, organisation … what about “copyleft post-culture” ? :D

That is very much appreciated we’re supporting too,
however i love Thierry’s idea of “copyleft post-culture”
how about renaming the thing asap- *smiles*

yes Undress Béton, great idea ! and preferable to my “copyleft post-culture” which looks more “final” …
