Initiiert wurde die C3S von Michael Weller (Europäische EDV-Akademie des Rechts / EEAR), Meik Michalke (Open Music Contest e.V.), mir und weiteren Kollegen aus dem Umfeld der Creative-Commons-Supporter. Die Wurzeln, Beweggründe und Ideen hinter dem Projekt sind vielfältiger, als bereits dieses gemeinsame Engagement zeigt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Die Ernsthaftigkeit des Ansatzes und vor allem die realitätsnahe Möglichkeit der Umsetzung zeigt nach ersten Andeutungen anlässlich der &lt;a onclick=&quot;_gaq.push([&#039;_trackPageview&#039;, &#039;/extlink/media.ccc.de/browse/conferences/sigint10/sigint10_3822_de_die_gescheiterte_revolution.html&#039;]);&quot;  href=&quot;http://media.ccc.de/browse/conferences/sigint10/sigint10_3822_de_die_gescheiterte_revolution.html&quot; title=&quot;SIGINT2010: Vortrag Meik Michalke&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;SIGINT2010&lt;/a&gt; und in verschiedenen Interviews und Gesprächen die Präsentation des Konzepts im Rahmen der all2gethernow 2010. Im nächsten Jahr erfolgt der Schritt in die breite Öffentlichkeit.  Interesse und Resonanz von unterschiedlichen (teils unerwarteten) Seiten belegen die Notwendigkeit unseres Schritts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Warum eine Verwertungsgesellschaft für (Musik-)Inhalte unter Creative-Commons-Lizenzen?&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Deutschland hat bereits eine Verwertungsgesellschaft für Musik, andere Länder in der Regel meist mehr. Dieses Quasi-Monopol ist vordergründig recht bequem für Lizenznehmer, braucht man sich doch nur an einen Gesprächspartner zu wenden, die GEMA. Warum also eine weitere?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bei der Verwendung von Creative-Commons-Lizenzen stellt sich die Frage, ob der Künstler eine kommerzielle Verwertung überhaupt wünscht oder nicht. Gerade im teils ideologisch geprägten CC-Umfeld sind Motivation, Ziel und Erfolg unterschiedlich und oft kontrovers diskutiert. Warum dann eine Verwertungsgesellschaft für Creative Commons?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neben Creative Commons existiert die Art Libre als weitere freie Lizenz; zudem nutzen die weitaus meisten Kreativen in Deutschland und weltweit – schließt man Freizeitmusiker ein – weder freie Lizenzen, noch sind sie Mitglieder einer Verwertungsgesellschaft. Warum sollte man dann eine Verwertungsgesellschaft ausschließlich für das Segment der unter Creative Commons lizenzierten Werke benötigen?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Kultur, Ökonomie und Recht&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Jeder der Initiatoren der C3S bringt eine unterschiedliche Schwerpunktsetzung ein. Es ist jedoch die Gesamtheit der drei Aspekte Kultur, Ökonomie und Recht, die uns motiviert und den Nutzen einer Verwertungsgesellschaft für unter Creative Commons lizenzierte Musikwerke unterstreicht.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So ist es die in der deutschen Rechtsprechung bislang bestätigte GEMA-Vermutung, die trotz der Komplexität des Tarifkatalogs die GEMA-Großkunden Radio und TV meist auf das GEMA-Repertoire zurückgreifen lässt. Denn jede öffentliche Aufführung muss der GEMA gemeldet werden, und somit ist die Infrastruktur des Lizenzmanagements darauf zugeschnitten. Eine Vielzahl an Lizenzanbietern als Partner kann im Gegensatz zu einem einzelnen Partner nur mit erhöhten Kosten abgebildet werden. Selbst Lokale, die ausschließlich CC-Musik spielen, zahlen bevorzugt die GEMA-Pauschale, um dem hohen Verwaltungsaufkommen einer kostenlosen, aber detaillierten Meldung zu entgehen. Fazit: Die Distribution und das Marketing für CC-Inhalte ist verschwindend gering. Die GEMA-Vermutung entpuppt sich als höchst effektive Markteintrittsbarriere, die juristisch zwar nicht gesetzlich verankert, aber in der Rechtsprechung bestätigt ist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Im anderen Extrem setzen sowohl ideologische Verfechter der Open-Source-Community als auch die Vertreter des „alten“ Musik/Content-Business die Creative-Commons-Lizenzen mit einer grundsätzlich kostenlosen Verwendung gleich. Dies ist falsch. „Free Culture“ steht für eine unabhängige Kultur, die im Sinne des Künstlers verbreitet wird – ob kostenfrei, kostenpflichtig oder gar beides parallel. „Free Culture“ steht nicht für eine „Kostenlos-Mentalität“. Künstler, die ihr Einkommen mit ihrer Musik bestreiten möchten, müssen sich häufig rechtfertigen und gegen eine Stigmatisierung angehen. Völlig zu Unrecht, denn weshalb nutzt eine Vielzahl von Urhebern, unter die Non-Commercial-(NC-)Varianten? Im Fokus stehen die legale und in der Tat kostenlose Distribution und &lt;em&gt;Verwendung im privaten Kontext&lt;/em&gt;, sowie die davon zu trennende, je nach Wunsch des Urhebers kostenlose oder kostenpflichtige &lt;em&gt;kommerzielle Verwendung&lt;/em&gt; der Inhalte. Aufgrund der zugegeben unscharfen Formulierung des „NC“-Begriffs ist der Künstler hier gezwungen, einzelne Verhandlungen und Einschränkungen mit Lizenznehmern zu führen und zu vereinbaren – doch genau dies ist der Vorteil der CC-NC-Lizenz. Die Freiheit, die Lizenz im Detail in eigener Verantwortung anpassen zu können.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Die Wahrnehmung der Verwertung darf nicht eine ausschließliche Bindung an das jeweilige System bedeuten. Für Freizeitmusiker heißt das: Erweisen sich einige oder nur ein einziger der selbstverfassten Songs als erfolgreich, ist die Übertragung der Wahrnehmung auf eine größere Entität sinnvoll, d. h. auf eine Verwertungsgesellschaft. Dass hierbei auf vorformulierte, an die jeweilige Rechtsprechung des Landes angepasste, juristisch geprüfte und international verwendbare Lizenzen zurückgegriffen werden kann, ist ein entscheidender Vorteil. Größtmögliche Sicherheit bei gleichzeitiger Freiheit im Umgang und höchster Praktikabilität ist notwendig. Unter dieser Voraussetzung kann auch „Breitenkreativität“ in Nischen finanziell anerkannt und Kultur gefördert werden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Kernziele&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Im Umkehrschluss ergeben sich für die Gründung der C3S folgende Kernziele:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Loslösung der Künstler von ökonomischer Fremdbestimmung&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Freiheit und Selbstbestimmung bei der Lizenzierung eigener Werke&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Öffnung des Musikmarkts für CC-Inhalte&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;finanzielle Anerkennung von CC-Künstlern&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Förderung der Kultur durch vereinfachten Zugang und legale Nutzung von CC-Musik&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Aufklärung hinsichtlich Zweck, Nutzung und Verwendung von CC-Inhalten&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Links und Material&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bevor die C3S in Kürze mit einer eigenen Site präsent ist, eignet sich als erste Anlaufstelle die aktuelle &lt;a onclick=&quot;_gaq.push([&#039;_trackPageview&#039;, &#039;/extlink/www.cc-vg.de/&#039;]);&quot;  href=&quot;http://www.cc-vg.de/&quot; title=&quot;C3S: Erste Informationen&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Domain &amp;#8220;cc-vg.de&amp;#8221;&lt;/a&gt;. Dort kann sich jeder Interessent in eine Mailing-Liste eintragen. Konkrete Anfragen darüber hinaus können über das ebenfalls dort verlinkte Kontaktformular der Site des Open Music Contest e.V. an die C3S gerichtet werden (oder auch direkt an Michael Weller, Meik Michalke oder mich.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aktuelle Events und Beiträge könnt Ihr hier verfolgen:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Michael Wellers Beiträge auf &lt;a onclick=&quot;_gaq.push([&#039;_trackPageview&#039;, &#039;/extlink/lawgical.de/index.php?/authors/4-Michael-Weller&#039;]);&quot;  href=&quot;http://lawgical.de/index.php?/authors/4-Michael-Weller&quot; title=&quot;C3S auf Lawgical.de&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Lawgical.de&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Meik Michalkes Beiträge auf &lt;a onclick=&quot;_gaq.push([&#039;_trackPageview&#039;, &#039;/extlink/reaktanz.de/blog/&#039;]);&quot;  href=&quot;http://reaktanz.de/blog/&quot; title=&quot;C3S bei reaktanz.de (Blog)&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;seinem Blog reaktanz.de&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;meine eigenen Beiträge natürlich weiterhin unter ContentSphere.de&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Des weiteren findet Ihr unter folgendem Link &lt;a onclick=&quot;_gaq.push([&#039;_trackPageview&#039;, &#039;/extlink/contentsphere.de/ebook/C3S_a2n_20100906.pdf&#039;]);&quot;  href=&quot;http://contentsphere.de/ebook/C3S_a2n_20100906.pdf&quot; title=&quot;Vorstellung des C3S-Konzepts (PDF, 1.5 MB)&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;das Konzept der C3S&lt;/a&gt;, wie es zur &lt;a onclick=&quot;_gaq.push([&#039;_trackPageview&#039;, &#039;/extlink/a-2-n.de/&#039;]);&quot;  href=&quot;http://a-2-n.de/&quot; title=&quot;all2gethernow (Homepage)&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;all2gethernow&lt;/a&gt; vorgestellt wurde. In Kürze werde ich zum Thema C3S weitere Artikel posten, darunter auch eine Erläuterung zum Konzept.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nicht offizieller Teil der C3S, aber sehr hilfreich ist der &lt;a onclick=&quot;_gaq.push([&#039;_trackPageview&#039;, &#039;/extlink/c3s.tumblr.com&#039;]);&quot;  href=&quot;http://c3s.tumblr.com&quot; title=&quot;Fabian&#039;s Blog&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Blog von Fabian&lt;/a&gt; zum Themenkomplex Creative Commons und GEMA.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Obwohl nicht Teil der Creative Commons als Organisation, wird die C3S als sich etablierendes Thema sicher auch Erwähnungen auf den folgenden einschlägigen und höchst empfehlenswerten Blogs finden:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a onclick=&quot;_gaq.push([&#039;_trackPageview&#039;, &#039;/extlink/de.creativecommons.org/&#039;]);&quot;  href=&quot;http://de.creativecommons.org/&quot; title=&quot;Creative Commons Deutschland (Blog)&quot; target=&quot;_blank&gt;Creative Commons Deutschland&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a onclick=&quot;_gaq.push([&#039;_trackPageview&#039;, &#039;/extlink/www.netzpolitik.org/&#039;]);&quot;  href=&quot;http://www.netzpolitik.org/&quot; title=&quot;netzpolitik.org (Blog)&quot; target=&quot;_blank&gt;netzpolitik.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a onclick=&amp;#8221;_gaq.push([&amp;#8216;_trackPageview&amp;#8217;, &amp;#8216;/extlink/neumusik.com&amp;#8217;]);&amp;#8221;  href=&amp;#8221;http://neumusik.com&amp;#8221; title=&amp;#8221;neumusik.com - Das neue Musikbusiness. (Blog)&amp;#8221; target=&amp;#8221;_blank&gt;neumusik.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Also: Im Auge behalten.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Nächste Schritte&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Wie bereits im September während der a2n angesprochen, liegt der Schwerpunkt der C3S auf der Berücksichtigung des Feedbacks aller potenziell involvierten Seiten - Songwriter, Musiker, Lizenznehmer, Distributoren, Verleger, (Net)Labels, Technologie-Provider, Juristen u.a. Unser Ziel ist, das Wissen und die Wünsche derjenigen einfließen zu lassen, die die Verwertungsgesellschaft später nutzen werden. Konzeptuelle Schwächen müssen so früh wie möglich vermieden werden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Um dem breiten Interesse Rechnung zu tragen, ist im nächsten Jahr ein Symposium geplant, das sich in mehreren kleinen Arbeitsgruppen der Erarbeitung von Lösungen widmen wird. Jede Arbeitsgruppe konzentriert sich auf ein spezifisches Thema bzw. einen strukturellen Ausschnitt der C3S. Ziel ist ein kohärentes Konzept, das die Grundlage des Zulassungsantrags beim Deutschen Patent- und Markenamt (DPMA) als zuständige Behörde bildet.&lt;br /&gt;

Even worse, ContentSphere has been almost plain blank while working on those topics.&lt;br /&gt;
It just would be a shame to not make use of it. More than that, these topics are dealing with issues and they are raising questions. I contributed them to a2n because of their relevance in today&amp;#8217;s music business.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The abstracts of those topics you will find on &lt;a onclick=&quot;_gaq.push([&#039;_trackPageview&#039;, &#039;/extlink/a2n2010.sched.org&#039;]);&quot;  href=&quot;http://a2n2010.sched.org&quot; title=&quot;all2gethernow 2010 - the schedule&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;a2n&amp;#8217;s schedule which is still accessible&lt;/a&gt;. The link to each of them I added to the list below. I&amp;#8217;m trying to flesh out at least some of them in the near future to give you a bigger picture of what I intended them to be.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As you might have guessed, I was able to witness only very, &lt;strong&gt;very&lt;/strong&gt; few of the events I drafted. But a large number of a2n&amp;#8217;s discussions have been streamed, which makes me curiously waiting for the finalised and edited videos. I hope them to be published soon as a part of our documentation, so I can add the actual video of the discussions to my articles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But – what are those topics and issues I contributed to a2n? Let&amp;#8217;s see:&lt;br /&gt;

Please don&amp;#8217;t get me wrong – the storyline might have been set by me for those panels and workshops. Though, it has been the moderators and speakers who did a brilliant job in breathing life into some sketched out thoughts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You want to know which ones didn&amp;#8217;t make it? Here they are. At least the ones I drafted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Reforming copyright: Necessity or nonsense?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Collecting societies - foot on the brake or guardian of the Holy Grail?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;YouTube - whuzznotup? The Black Screen of Death on behalf of GEMA.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fail &amp;amp; Success - are traditionel business models the only to survive?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Branded art - when music becomes added value&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;DIY is a dead end&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;DIY marketing: The real world&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;DIY and direct-to-fan marketing - cameo role or serious market factor?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Direct-to-fan marketing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Artists&amp;#8217; perfect 10 in digital distribution - how does the perfect platform look like?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;No charts, no breaking - what does it take to become a &amp;#8220;breaking artist&amp;#8221;?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Workshop: Site design for artists&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fuhgettabout the producer - we can do that ourselves!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Music production on iPhone/iPad? WTF or OMG?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Technology for the masses - does common access increase music quality?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Convergence or transition: About TV, internet &amp;amp; hybrids.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Music collecting: No options to revamp a bad habit beloved?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Why they did they fail? It&amp;#8217;s been the usual reasons. Cancellations, invitations not being answered, and most of all - too much content. Some issues were merged and survived, others had to be abandoned. But, you never know&amp;#8230; you like some of the ideas and would have loved to see the panel? Please tell me. I&amp;#8217;d appreciate it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Looks like an awful lot of work. Happy to do it. Gonna be fun.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Glaube ist gut, Wissen ist besser.&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Gleichgültig, wie das Urteil eines (notwendigen) Sachverständigen zum Thema aussieht, der Beleg für die Verfügbarkeit einer hinreichenden Größe frei lizensierten Materials muss vor Gericht erbracht werden. Denn die GEMA-Vermutung ist gängige Rechtsprechung und wird erst vor dem BGH endgültig widerlegt werden können. Aber die Schwierigkeit liegt in der Nachprüfbarkeit. Der GEMA liegen neben ihren stets aktuellen Geschäftszahlen natürlich auch die Zahlen der zu verwertenden Titel vor - wo aber sind die belegbaren Zahlen frei lizenzierter Stücke?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Aufmerksamkeit.&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Darüber hinaus hat die GEMA Pressesprecher und Lobbyisten. Nicht die Künstler, die ihre Werke GEMA-frei anbieten. Für die Verbraucher existieren letztere Künstler nicht. Selbst wenn international renommierte Künstler wie Trent Reznor oder die Smashing Pumpkins Titel unter Creative Commons veröffentlichen - die Masse des Publikums nimmt es nicht wahr. Es erscheint unwichtig. Die meiste Beachtung für diese Aktionen, Marketingstrategien und teilweise auch Geschäftsmodelle wird den Künstlern durch das Web zuteil. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.contentsphere.de/serendipity/archives/48-The-GEMA-Presumption-as-an-Entry-Barrier-Pt.-33.html#extended&quot;&gt;Continue reading &quot;The GEMA Presumption as an Entry Barrier (Pt. 3/3)&quot;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.contentsphere.de/serendipity/archives/46-The-GEMA-Presumption-as-an-Entry-Barrier-Pt.-13.html&quot; title=&quot;The GEMA Presumption as an Entry Barrier (Pt. 1/3)&quot; /&gt;Part 1&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.contentsphere.de/serendipity/archives/48-The-GEMA-Presumption-as-an-Entry-Barrier-Pt.-33.html&quot; title=&quot;The GEMA Presumption as an Entry Barrier (Pt. 3/3)&quot; /&gt;Part 3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are two issues, and each one constitutes a well functioning entry barrier in itself. But, in conjunction they are seamlessly joint: The GEMA presumption, and closely linked the free licence composers&amp;#8217; and providers&amp;#8217; scattered acting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Why are they that closely linked?&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
First off, GEMA is responsible for maintaining the GEMA presumption. Secondly, GEMA does not allow members to license selected works under Creative Commons. Free licence composers are kept out of the market without having any organisation representing them. It is plain to see why Germany&amp;#8217;s collection society does not want to offer billing and administration of Creative Commons licences (although they could get a good revenue by doing so). But, in the end this results in increasing the demand an alternative to today&amp;#8217;s common collection society. Latest by launch of an alternative platform, organisation or institution the GEMA presumption is going to fall. Now this isn&amp;#8217;t at all what GEMA wants. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.contentsphere.de/serendipity/archives/47-The-GEMA-Presumption-as-an-Entry-Barrier-Pt.-23.html#extended&quot;&gt;Continue reading &quot;The GEMA Presumption as an Entry Barrier (Pt. 2/3)&quot;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Note.&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Quite often, in any part of this article I&amp;#8217;m using the term &amp;#8220;free licensed&amp;#8221; or &amp;#8220;free licences&amp;#8221;. That might be a bit misleading. Please take your time to understand it in the meaning of &amp;#8220;independently licensed from any collection society (in particular GEMA)&amp;#8221;. It does &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; mean that for example Creative Commons licences are always free of charge. The range of Creative Commons allows for different licences (in contrast to GEMA by the way). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most of them (at least with music) will probably be free of charge for &lt;strong&gt;private use&lt;/strong&gt;. However, commercial use in most cases depends on certain conditions and the explicit permission of the author &lt;strong&gt;plus&lt;/strong&gt; paying a licence fee.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&amp;#8217;m aware of the fact that the line between private use and commercial use is not that clear, and it is not explicitly defined by Creative Commons. The definition rather relies on the author being the licenser. But in case you are about to license a work - just ask the author if the purpose you are intending is considered private or commercial use. The metadata of any work licensed under Creative Commons should allow for a contact option.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;A slight case of overbombing.&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately, usage of content licensed by &lt;a onclick=&quot;_gaq.push([&#039;_trackPageview&#039;, &#039;/extlink/creativecommons.org/&#039;]);&quot;  href=&quot;http://creativecommons.org/&quot; title=&quot;Creative Commons&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Creative Commons&lt;/a&gt; or other free licences in Germany pretty often fails because of the so called GEMA presumption. As of now, due to this presumption, if played, performed or copied for commercial use or in public in Germany, every work of music has to be reported to German collection society &lt;a onclick=&quot;_gaq.push([&#039;_trackPageview&#039;, &#039;/extlink/gema.de&#039;]);&quot;  href=&quot;http://gema.de&quot; title=&quot;GEMA - German collection society&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;GEMA&lt;/a&gt;. This applies for composers playing their own music as well as for songs not licensed with GEMA - say, Creative Commons. This is &lt;a onclick=&quot;_gaq.push([&#039;_trackPageview&#039;, &#039;/extlink/medien-internet-und-recht.de/volltext.php?mir_dok_id=1233&#039;]);&quot;  href=&quot;http://medien-internet-und-recht.de/volltext.php?mir_dok_id=1233&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Ruling Based on GEMA Presumption (German)&quot;&gt;confirmed and supported by German jurisdiction&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

Just imagine this scenario: &lt;strong&gt;Warner Music&lt;/strong&gt; on YouTube finds a presentation &lt;strong&gt;Lawrence Lessig&lt;/strong&gt; did. Warner Music demands Lawrence Lessig to take down the video of his own presentation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No April fool&amp;#8217;s joke, no misinformation, no fiction. &lt;a onclick=&quot;_gaq.push([&#039;_trackPageview&#039;, &#039;/extlink/twitter.com/lessig/statuses/1642654831&#039;]);&quot;  href=&quot;http://twitter.com/lessig/statuses/1642654831&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Lessig tweets Warner sent takedown notice&quot;&gt;They have done so.&lt;/a&gt; And of course, &lt;a onclick=&quot;_gaq.push([&#039;_trackPageview&#039;, &#039;/extlink/twitter.com/lessig/status/1642899948&#039;]);&quot;  href=&quot;http://twitter.com/lessig/status/1642899948&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Lessig confirms to fight&quot;&gt;Lessig stands up against.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no better way to put it than &lt;a onclick=&quot;_gaq.push([&#039;_trackPageview&#039;, &#039;/extlink/www.techdirt.com/articles/20090428/1738424686.shtml&#039;]);&quot;  href=&quot;http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20090428/1738424686.shtml&quot; title=&quot;Warner Music vs. Larry Lessig&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Warner Music vs. Lawrence Lessig&quot;&gt;Michael Masnick did on TechDirt&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8230;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Dubber is absolutely right in labeling it &amp;#8220;important&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;urgent&amp;#8221;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We&amp;#8217;ve seen the USA extending copyright terms, and European countries suggesting to do so. Just yesterday, the &lt;a onclick=&quot;_gaq.push([&#039;_trackPageview&#039;, &#039;/extlink/www.heise.de/newsticker/EU-Parlament-fuer-Verlaengerung-des-Urheberrechtsschutzes-fuer-Musiker-auf-70-Jahre--/meldung/136694&#039;]);&quot;  href=&quot;http://www.heise.de/newsticker/EU-Parlament-fuer-Verlaengerung-des-Urheberrechtsschutzes-fuer-Musiker-auf-70-Jahre--/meldung/136694&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;European parliament in a first reading voted in favour of a prolongation by extending the copyright&lt;/a&gt; term from 50 to 70 years. I mentioned it before - this &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.contentsphere.de/serendipity/archives/20-Keep-Culture-Safe-Dont-You-Dare-to-Touch-It!.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;definitely does harm to culture&lt;/a&gt;. Strict legislation and overly harsh fines result in a &amp;#8220;permission culture&amp;#8221;, as Lessig puts it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Internet Means Creativity&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Point is, we must embrace the very fact that culture lives within the internet. The web advances culture. These are the new tools. As often, lobbyism for the old paradigm tries to build shrines for technologies while understanding and sensibly implementing the new would yield better results and stimulate the market. Actually, the market, which means culture, right now is strangled. And it&amp;#8217;s not &lt;a onclick=&quot;_gaq.push([&#039;_trackPageview&#039;, &#039;/extlink/thepiratebay.org/&#039;]);&quot;  href=&quot;http://thepiratebay.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Pirate Bay&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; that does. It is the collective understanding of today&amp;#8217;s society of terms as &amp;#8220;intellectual property&amp;#8221;, &amp;#8220;piracy&amp;#8221;, and &amp;#8220;lost sales&amp;#8221;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Sorry if I&amp;#8217;m a bit late on this one, but I&amp;#8217;ve taken some days off. However, this one is by far too barefaced to be believed. I&amp;#8217;m afraid it&amp;#8217;s no April fools&amp;#8217; joke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You will remember my article on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.contentsphere.de/serendipity/archives/12-Can-artists-make-a-living-without-ASCAP-et-al.-Jamendo-says-Yes!.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;music distribution platform &lt;strong&gt;Jamendo&lt;/strong&gt; going with &lt;strong&gt;Creative Commons&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Today, I just read news from a week ago that they are &lt;a onclick=&quot;_gaq.push([&#039;_trackPageview&#039;, &#039;/extlink/www.heise.de/newsticker/Jamendo-positioniert-sich-als-Alternative-zur-GEMA--/meldung/135470&#039;]);&quot;  href=&quot;http://www.heise.de/newsticker/Jamendo-positioniert-sich-als-Alternative-zur-GEMA--/meldung/135470&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;about to integrate a new search tool&lt;/a&gt;. It supports promoters, agencies, movie makers and game manufacturers by providing search categories like mood, occasion, genre and language.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Artists participating in Jamendo&amp;#8217;s distribution model can opt-in for &lt;a onclick=&quot;_gaq.push([&#039;_trackPageview&#039;, &#039;/extlink/pro.jamendo.com/en/&#039;]);&quot;  href=&quot;http://pro.jamendo.com/en/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jamendo PRO&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Business customers of Jamendo who would like to make commercial use of tracks offered can purchase licenses within Jamendo PRO. This differs from private customers who may download everything for free. Most importantly, it&amp;#8217;s an additional source of revenue for artists (and Jamendo) that adds to income from ads.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The new tool helps business people interested in searching for the right music - instead of thoroughly relying on communication and recommendation via Jamendo. Any process like this is destined to be too time consuming.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#8230; and then there&amp;#8217;s &lt;a onclick=&quot;_gaq.push([&#039;_trackPageview&#039;, &#039;/extlink/www.gema.de/en/&#039;]);&quot;  href=&quot;http://www.gema.de/en/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GEMA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, Germany&amp;#8217;s collecting institution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Richard Smith from London’s Guardian features the book &lt;a onclick=&quot;_gaq.push([&#039;_trackPageview&#039;, &#039;/extlink/www.thepublicdomain.org/download/&#039;]);&quot;  href=&quot;http://www.thepublicdomain.org/download/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&amp;#8220;Public Domain: Enclosing the Commons of the Mind&amp;#8221; (free download under CreativeCommons license)&lt;/a&gt; by &lt;a onclick=&quot;_gaq.push([&#039;_trackPageview&#039;, &#039;/extlink/www.law.duke.edu/fac/boyle/&#039;]);&quot;  href=&quot;http://www.law.duke.edu/fac/boyle/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;James Boyle&lt;/a&gt;, professor of law at Duke Law School, North Carolina. The books’ core statement is that &amp;#8220;the world has made a colossal cultural mistake that shames our generation&amp;#8221;. No question you wonder which mistake Boyle is talking about. It is the USA’s recent decision to extend copyright &amp;#8220;to life plus 70 years&amp;#8221;. Many artists may be puzzled about this… why moan? Hey, that’s great! Our property finally gets protected. Cost is: Our culture gets locked. By backdating the law to 1923 &amp;#8220;virtually all 20th century cultural objects are locked up&amp;#8221;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Culture needs to develop upon the culture before. It is the same point &lt;a onclick=&quot;_gaq.push([&#039;_trackPageview&#039;, &#039;/extlink/www.lessig.org/blog/&#039;]);&quot;  href=&quot;http://www.lessig.org/blog/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Lawrence Lessig&lt;/a&gt; made when writing &lt;a onclick=&quot;_gaq.push([&#039;_trackPageview&#039;, &#039;/extlink/free-culture.cc/freecontent/&#039;]);&quot;  href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/freecontent/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&amp;#8220;Free Culture&amp;#8221; (free download under CreativeCommons license)&lt;/a&gt;. Now, Europe is about to decide the &lt;a onclick=&quot;_gaq.push([&#039;_trackPageview&#039;, &#039;/extlink/www.openrightsgroup.org/2008/09/05/performers-likely-to-get-as-little-as-50¢-a-year-from-increased-term-of-copyright/&#039;]);&quot;  href=&quot;http://www.openrightsgroup.org/2008/09/05/performers-likely-to-get-as-little-as-50¢-a-year-from-increased-term-of-copyright/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;same way&lt;/a&gt;.
