'Remix the Remixer': Lawrence Lessig's 'Remix' Released Under CC License... Launches Remix Contest...

Creative Commons | Read Full Story >

Lawrence Lessig’s latest book Remix: Making Art and Commerce Thrive in the Hybrid Economy is getting the CC treatment from Bloomsbury Academic (CC coverage here and here). Starting today, the entire book is available for free download under a CC BY-NC license from Bloomsbury Academic’s website.

We are incredibly excited that a text devoted to the art and value of remixing is being released under a license that allows free and open sharing and reuse – it turns out we aren’t the only ones. To celebrate the launch, Bloomsburry is holding a contest titled Remix the Remixer:

Remix the Remixer Contest

the contest rules specify that you can't make anything "offensive". who defines offensive and why would that even matter?

if Mr. Lawrence "Toohey" Lessig has no problem backing people like Greg Gillis aka Girl Talk who has no input from the sources he takes from then why does it matter if things are offensive?

in theory- you could gain even more press for the camera-friendly Lessig if there was offensive material!
