Why i abandoned the “creative” commons concept.

We live in an age where many things are connected, we are connected to the electricity, the water we drink and music and art that we “i” absord. Plus a lot of toxic stuff.

The american indians said to the white folk as they arrived to the US, so i heard. “”you can’t eat petrol”". Someone also told me that the wise people within the tribes often were thinking seven generations away with their way of thinking. Could it be that the indian people let the white folk take their land and destroy everything “possibly” becauase they refused to allow their culture to migrate to the “”anglo saxon”white mans world”"?

To go on about creative commons “corporation”. Corporations are about maximum profit. If the art/written- that we create has no value, then the human right of a person to create as they choose may be lost for ever. Is this such a great thing?

From my view, the power of the commons is huge, yet the power of the individuals rights are going to be lost if the creativity of you are of no value or of value in a non-commercial way, cause how can commercial enterprise exist when the property of the people is free?

So when you I or anyone else give away something for free, without asking for reward in return, the rewards culture that we live in, no-longer has value. What does this equate to in the end? Who can say?

When something is free, people abuse it, the donkey did not win in animal farm, the pig did, yet maybe i just live in the illusion of this, maybe the donkey did win.

My experience of life after living in the Czech republic is this. Leave a door open and people are going to walk in and take what they can. Lock the door and someone probably has a key anyway.

The philosophy of the communist times was, as i have been told, “if you don’t steal it, your stealing from your family”. This way of thinking looks to have been passed on, what communism has done to the culture here in Eastern block is sad for even the people that exploited the rights. Yet maybe this philosophy of stealing developed only after the Russians brought their tanks to Prague. For sure the hat just changed color.

when i go to markets i find peoples histories thrown to the trash. As if they had no value. Excuse the opinions on Christmas day. Santa clause is not a guy that walks through the subway.

Complicate, liberate, confused by the call
Into the forest where the angels waking
Like the birds in the trees
I only wish we could catch the first plane out of here

Keep on drivin’, keep on drivin’
Little road maps on the moon
Keep on drivin’, keep on drivin’
Little road maps on the moon

The stars are UFO’s, all eyes neon globes
Everything is watching him
He’s the centre of the dream
The birds are talking to him
Hey, he just worked out telepathy

Keep on drivin’, keep on drivin’
Little road maps on the moon
Keep on drivin’, keep on drivin’
Little road maps on the moon

Into the stars, back through the sun
Top of the hill where the angels fly
Into the sun, back through the stars
Top of the hill where the angels fly

Terminate the terminal 
We all live so we can fly
That true destination 
Where’s the ticket, anyhow

Take drugs, climb that hill
See the world, a different point of view
Burn the future
Burn a past
Fall into the abyss of that ugly mask

Keep on calling, keep on calling
Little road maps on the moon
Keep on calling, keep on calling
Little road maps on the moon
Keep on calling, keep on calling
Little road maps on the moon
Keep on calling, keep on calling
Little road maps on the moon
Keep on calling, keep on calling
Little road maps on the moon
Keep on calling, keep on calling
Little road maps on the moon

Into the stars, back through the sun
Top of the hill where the angels fly
Into the sun, back through the stars
Top of the hill where the angels fly

Keep on drivin’, keep on drivin’
Little road maps on the moon
Keep on drivin’, keep on drivin’
Little road maps on the moon
Keep on drivin’, keep on drivin’
Little road maps on the moon
Keep on drivin’, keep on drivin’
Little road maps on the moon

Come to the island, swim through the sea
Over the waves of the past into the rain with me
We’ll have a good time, nothing’s gonna be the same
All our friends drift into space
Just you and me, hey come to the island

Through the sea, over the waves
Just you and me
To the island, through the sea
Just you and me

9 7:05 4:24, the time the trains leave to go up north
There’s the blue sky we’re circling so high
The air is so cold, there are diamonds on the ground
Four suns falling to the green grass below
It could be the end, hey just explode to the island

Through the sea, over the waves
Just you and me
To the island, through the sea
Just you and me
To the island, through the sea
Just you and me

Memories of silence, light of colour
Beneath it, the grail fountains of heavens
Into the stars, we could explode
You turn your head and you say to the island

Through the sea, over the waves
Just you and me
To the island, through the sea

Thousands of islands to travel between
Oceans of worlds, oceans of worlds
Colour the space, walls are no more
Oceans of worlds, oceans of worlds
Swim to the moon, run through the fields
Oceans of worlds, oceans of worlds
Fall to the breasts of creation
Oceans of worlds, oceans of worlds
Swim to the moon, run through the fields
Oceans of worlds, oceans of worlds

To the island, through the sea
Just you and me
To the island, through the sea
Just you and me
To the island, through the sea
Just you and me
To the island, through the sea
Just you and me

I live on a moon, everything’s blue
I receive all communication
I’m wild, I’m crazed, I’m free
I live on a moon far away from you

In that separation
Living like the dawn
Rest under the neon
In this separate world
Fixed to a closed circuit
Framed in a field
And send me, send me to the moon
I live on a moon far away, do you

All the earth-bound people looking toward the heavens
So where tied to places far away, yet here we remain
I live on a moon far away, do you
I live on a moon far away, do you
I live on a moon
I live on a moon far away, do you

My alienation linked via satellite underground
All come from one
One of the earth, one from above
Then the fire finds the wind
Trees do erupt
When there’s no trunk, the tree it does rust
I live on a moon far away from you
I live on a moon far away from you
I live on a moon
I live on a moon far away from you
I live on a moon far away, do you

You don’t have to crush me
You don’t have to put me down
You don’t have to be the way you are
I know that it’s hard
Things are never what they seem
As life goes on things might change
I hope I change my ways

You say that I’m selfish, it’s me I aim to please
I have no heart and I do not care
There’s no one else just me
You don’t have to crush me
You don’t have to put me down
You don’t have to be the way you are

You’ve judged and tried me ten times over
And you told me that I’m cheap
You’ve said that I should get a life
Get a life, just leave

You don’t have to crush me
You don’t have to put me down
You don’t have to crush me
You don’t have to put me down
You don’t have to crush
You don’t have to put me down
You don’t have to
You don’t have to put me down

I know that there’s no point in fighting
Fighting with you
I don’t want to let you bring me down again

I’d like to see you happy but it seems
You’re bent on crushing me
Crushing me
Crushing me
It’s the day after you burnt me and
The smoke still hasn’t cleared
I don’t know what to say
You brought a man to tears

You don’t have to crush me
You don’t have to put me down
You don’t have to crush me (x7)
Crush me (x3)

Lyrics

Up and down the same old hill
On the train the same old crew
And I’ll be looking for a change
In the office same young lady gives a smile
And it’s off into a daze
And I’ll be looking for a change

How far, how far, how far
Can this dreaming go
How far, how far, how far
Can this dreaming go

I keep on wondering
What that smile means
Is it a safety zone
Or a way of seeing through
At the station
I only have loose change
I’ll be waiting for greener times
A way out of this

How far, how far, how far
Can this dreaming go
How far, how far, how far
Can this dreaming go

The open road
Then the risin’
All alone it’s good to be on this trip
The sand is joined to the sky it can’t break away

Ten thousand tracks
All divided in ten
Everywhere a junction
Everything everywhere

How far, how far, how far
Can this dreaming go
How far, how far, how far
Can this dreaming go
Can this dreaming go

James King talks about Sabam

James King from Sunshine concert talks about SABAM, SABAM basically put a block on culture and artists being able to work on any reasonable terms without a publisher. European/Australian culture is being decimated as a result of the inequality of the media system in Europe and media system in the US.

In the US the entertainment industry is driven by efficient market condtions. In Europe the rights organizations make sure everyone is paid equally, as a result all the Belgium culture is controlled by the government, and the commercial media dominated by the US/california. Europe has no market for the use of media. Myspace don’t pay for the use of content, yet small venues and up and coming web services providers have to always pay.

In the US Cdbaby does not have to pay for the right to stream music from artists with rights organizations outside the US (even though the rights organizations could do a take down by law). In Europe every person that has to sell music, has to play for even a 10 second sound clip of an artists music that is with a rights organizations. A belgium server that tries to create a contract like myspace has, they are going to be sued in a flash.

Big music services like IODA, The Orcahrd, i-tunes, all based in the US are getting a free ride for the cost of content, or US bands are getting exposure outside the US, because they can give sound clips away for free use.

The US media has no competition from anywhere else, unless the government can fund it, make a movie in Europe, que up for a cultural fund. with the cost for use of content going up outside the US because artists like Madonna are not able to collect through selling cds anymore and her empire needs to be fed, the media is more more easily dominated via the US. Global distribution points have been bought up by the major players. If these rights organizations are not deregulated, what happens next?

Its not the big corporations fault, their job is to make the most amount they can for their shareholders. With no sub-culture in the arts industry combined with torrents creating a free situation for use of what is created. What is the future of entertainment? 1984.

The answer is not to stop piracy, from my view its in the deregulation of the rights organizations outside the US like SABAM. The media needs fresh competition. Members of ASCAP and BMI can use a creative commons license, artists that are members of rights organizations not within the US can’t use a creative commons license.

Paul Kellar talks about creative commons

ioda alliance and itsaboutmusic a digital nightmare

digital disaster story. around the digital block.

When the web got going with digital distribution, i found this site on the net called itsaboutmusic. i allowed this site to put the tunes up on mp3.com through a digital click and paying some money via credit card.

MP3.com shut down because of legal problems with the way they were dealing with music. After MP3 shut down, itsaboutmusic signed a deal with IODA alliance to distribute all the artists they had previously had with mp3.com, yet did not tell the artists. Prior to this happening I sent a mail to itsaboutmusic saying I wanted to be in control of digital rights. i then put the songs with cdbaby for digital distribution.

itsaboutmusic did not take down the songs from IODA, so the songs are with 2 distributors, this created digital distribution problems. tunes were available on the JJJ website in Australia, yet cdbaby could not tell me how. Then started to think that the distributor of cds in Australia must be digitally distributing, more confused? canceled digital distribution through cdbaby, figured no-one has the rights to the tunes.

The songs still remained on JJJ site, lots of emails latter found that the songs were being distributed through IODA, never heard of before. Contacted IODA and they took the tunes down. Asked IODA if i could maintain my tunes with them, they said NO.

Confused by everything, yet still wanting to make the songs available, i put the tunes with the Orchard via amphead in Australia. Paid extra dollars to get a promotional push. Nothing happens. Even with the current use in the film, the orchard are not interested in doing promo.

.This has all been refreshed in the last days, because of an upload to cdbaby. after all this i thought to go and check out the itsaboutmusic site.

what they say on their website.

We have distribution deals with 130 download stores, kiosk companies, retail music streaming companies and cellular companies around the world including all iTunes sites – USA, Japan, UK, etc., Rhapsody, MusicMatch, Napster, MSN, Wal-Mart, AOL – and we work feverishly to reinvent this new digital wheel every day so that more and more music fans will purchase our artists’ music.

The problem is that IODA distribute to these stores not itsaboutmusic. And on IODA’s site itsaboutmusic is not listed as a partner, how would any artist that has an issue with itsaboutmusic be able to complain? How many other labels is IODA allowing to claim that they are the distributor?

itsaboutmusic is also saying
13. No Contracts to sign except one to specify that the music you are delivering to us will only be distributed digitally by us until you terminate the deal.

The worst thing seems that the artist that sign up have to pay 250 dollars up front to IAM, cdbaby is only 30 dollars and take 9 percent. I can’t see that itsaboutmusic is really doing much for the artist, other than passing it onto another distributor. It seems this kind of arrangement works well for both IODA and itsaboutmusic.

i sent emails to IODA asking them that itsaboutmusic service be represented as it is, no response yet. Yet would it not create problems for artists with IAM if they found out what is happening, or are they happy with this? 15 percent to IODA and 10 percent to IAM. With the Orchard and cdbaby I’m able to login to their system and see where digital downloads might happen, even though not much happens with either of these services.

Most artists want to get as close to the big distributor as they can, when a guy is running a business alone from home is claiming to be big distribution, yet another company is really doing the distribution. Is the distributor responsible for this happening? Is it a problem that this guy who is making a false claims about his service is also distributing royalties to artists.

Maybe this kind of thing is standard business practice in the US, yet with the web crossing all boundaries, its strange for a big distributor like IODA, to leave room for such potential abuse. Why is itsaboutmusic not listed on IODA’s website as a distributor? How many other sites online are doing the same thing through IODA? Is this fair for artists trying to find a way for their tunes to be heard?
