alternative freedom (in progress)

There’s a cool new documentary brewing about the free software, free culture movement. I don’t like to point to media with me in it, and this does, but I am very funny looking in it, and there is a fantastically moving set of quotes by RMS. Check it out here.

    I just got a truly inspiring idea from this short preview clip:

    If you’re a filmmaker making a documentary about free culture, instead of just going out and interviewing the “Lessigs” (‘The Pear Shaped Men’ as Larry would say), and adding remixed public domain/copylefted footage to illustrate the narrative…

    Invite the world to submit original and remixed material for the documentary.

    That, That, would truly be in the spirit of free culture. You’d be pleasantly suprised at what people would sumbit. Don’t just do what everyone up to this point does when they document the emerging culture libré. Don’t just interview Stallman and Lessig and fawn over Dangermouse. Invite the next Dangermouse to come out of the woodwork.
