It's the main reason I decided to broaden the scope of the Lawcast.I think snowdrift.coop has a lot of promise for financial sustainability, but it isn't ready yet. I've spent some time today preparing to get people together to discuss what can be done now - or if waiting really is the best option. I decided that having a discussion where the focus was "get us from now to snowdrift.coop" did not make a lot of sense if people weren't familiar with snowdrift.coop.Snowdrift.coop has an overwhelming amount of documentation and even if it was a little less overwhelming, some people wouldn't read it. That's why I have decided to provide subscribers with the audio to this interview.Unfortunately, the audio is still a bit overwhelming at over two hours. Perhaps Aaron has the time to make it to our panel. Perhaps Aaron and I can do a shorter interview. I'll see what I can do.For now, as said by Aaron:"The show is a bit over two hours long and covers topics including: copyright, music business, economics, participatory vs performance-based music, philosophy of art, barbershop harmony, software freedom, and more. Overall, it's a good casual summary of my whole personal story of my life and career and how I came to my current understanding and feelings on these topics."Here are the links (with just a bit of commentary) from the original post.wolftune.comsnowdrift.coophttp://blog.ninapaley.com/2013/12/07/make-art-not-law-2/http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/http://taskcoach.org/http://blog.wolftune.com/2012/08/copyingisfun1.htmlhttp://blog.wolftune.com/2012/08/copyingisfun2.htmlhttps://archive.org/details/CopyingIsNotTheftForBarbershopQuartethttps://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2014/07/inaugural-stupid-patent-monthhttp://sitasingstheblues.com/http://rynothebearded.com/2013/06/the-jazzcast-after-party/http://spencermichaud.bandcamp.com/http://www.spencermichaud.com/http://blog.ninapaley.com/2009/12/28/the-cult-of-originality/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RiP!:_A_Remix_Manifestohttp://vimeo.com/8040182https://torrentfreak.com/lawrence-lessig-wins-damages-for-bogus-youtube-takedown-140228/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYwOtTMUz0cAaron’s summary of the whole copyright thing, with the library emphasis (with tons of links, and updated continually since the original 2008 posting): http://blog.wolftune.com/2008/06/rational-view-of-copyright.htmlGet in TouchMusic Manumit Last.fm groupLast.fm: DouglasAWh.Libre.fm: douglasawh.GNU Social: dawDonateHelp me pay off law school debt!
