Posterchild for OpenBusiness
Larry Lessig writes on his blog about a company we could see in action at the iCommons Summit in Rio de Janeiro. He writes:
At the iCommons iSummit in Rio, Revver demonstrated its technology. This company is a poster child for alternative ways to get creators paid. Videos are distributed under a CC license. At the end is an ad bug. When the video is played, the creators get paid. The creators of the video below (geniuses) have earned many many many thousands of dollars for this video. Watch, think, enjoy: (Innovation brought to you by the Neutral Net)
We will soon do an interview with the guys behind Reever. Stay tuned.

Add yours.
So, a CC license, how do you find which license and further, can you search the site for licenses you are interested in?
I had a longer post going before the site crashed my broswer but the gist was that the faq seemed to indicate a default of BY-SA but the only CC logos on the video pages pointed to BY-ND 2.5 (of the video pages I checked) but that it was not clear if the license referred to the text of the page or to the video subject of the page. (I pointed out that it was still early for me and that I might be missing the obvious.
all the best,
