Right Wing Radio Duck "Donald's life is turned upside-down by the current economic crisis and he finds himself unemployed and falling behind on his house payments. As his frustration turns into despair Donald discovers a seemingly sympathetic voice coming from his radio named Glenn Beck. "

Today might be a good day to look at the bright side of 'teh internet' life.
Lawrence Lessig (author of
Free Culture),
Jimmy Wales (founder of Wikipedia), various advocates of the
Free Culture network organisation and others are all meeting at the
iCommons Summit in Rio to discuss
Creative Commons, open networks, non-restrictives licenses, global Digital Commons and the fact that maybe, in 2006,
'Sharing is Daring'. A similar summit has been taking place earlier this month in Thailand, under the name of
Asia Commons. I for one thinks it's extremely exciting to see all kind of artists, collectives and record labels using the CC licenses for the work they publish. After all, we now all live in a 'Remixed Culture', since everything we ever use was once part of something else, wasn't it?
openDemocracy has been publishing a
solid set of articles & a debate about the topic.

Charlie Stross releases his new book Accelerando as a Creative Commons e-book, thereby buying in to the open source idea that offering up one's intellectual property (under certain circumstances) will result in greater sales of the physical object, not fewer (see:
Cory Doctorow). In a time where promotional opportunities for new and "mid-list" authors seem to be continually shrinking, is offering up a complete work the current equivalent of the author interview or newspaper puff piece? Or is it simply a recognition that here in the 21st century
anything can be pirated -- better to offer up your work in good will (and in a form where you have some control), and hope some of the kids will realize that behind the free content is a guy who needs to eat? And what happens if/when all books become digital books?
