After the fairly random accessibility to and performance of the experience of the SLCreativeCommons gig in second life I got to thinking. That thinking led to the idea that I would happily pay for a ‘Ticket’ that gave me a guarantee of access and reasonable performance. The value here is based on the economy generated by the scarcity of CPU/BandWidth. I would be happy to put my money where my mouth is around an event like THIS from Lessig Blog to help promote the cause.
Wired is sponsoring another Creative Commons Benefit Concert at at Irving Plaza, on September 29. This is the second time Wired’s done this. The first time, the artists (Gilberto Gil and David Byrne) were inspiration to many in the movement. This time the artists are practitioners of remix culture: Mike Patton’s experimental pop supergroup Peeping Tom, DJ/producer Diplo, and mash-up/remix artist Girl Talk.All (as in 100% with no deduction at all) of the proceeds go to Creative Commons. Tickets are $25 each (plus service charge) and are available online at Ticketmaster.
