Howdy all, Would you like Free Software Melbourne to financially support a project making a series of well-produced video episodes, raising awareness of the role copying has in our society and culture?
This project on Indiegogo is low on funds, but looks very important <URL:https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/copy-me-a-webseries-about-copying--3>. It's a Romanian team who plan to produce a series of videos that counter pervasive myths about copying, culture, and copyright. Here is a video (in Romanian, with subtitles – don't worry, they plan to make English episodes from the current project) that shows they're really in tune with the Free Software Melbourne position: “The Internet is Closing Down” <URL:https://vimeo.com/54802900>. I will happily collect funds and organise a collective donation on behalf of our group. Let's discuss this at the upcoming meeting (Thursday 2014-04-17). Regardless whether you intend to fund them, *please* spread this far and wide to anyone who is concerned about the grip of the intellectual property maximalists on our culture. The project need funding to make this happen, and that comes from spreading the knowledge they exist! -- \ “Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.” —Mark | `\ Twain, _Following the Equator_ | _o__) | Ben Finney _______________________________________________ Free-software-melb mailing list [email protected] http://lists.softwarefreedom.com.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/free-software-melb Free Software Melbourne home page: http://www.freesoftware.asn.au/melb/
