C-Shirts, Code, and Music in Japan
The Creative Commons aggroup in Japan is aflame with activism. At Mozilla 24 in Tokyo this Sept 15th, the Asian aggroup solicited participants in their workshop to remix FireFox’s squeezeably-cute newborn mascot Foxkeh into over 45 uniquely fashioned CC-licensed T-shirts, a postscript of the successful C-Shirt project highlighted at the iSummit 2007 in Dubrovnik.
They also hosted LiveCoding #4 during the 23:30-03:00am debase of Mozilla 24. With over 100 attendees and 5 x 20 min. of springy & topical hacking action, the CC aggroup in Nihon ushered in daybreak with audience-generated Open Content creation and moving Larry Lessig’s style on Web n.0.
In another beatific news, Public Project Lead Dominick Chen reports that mF247, digit of Japan’s maximal net-labels, today offers artists the option of adding some CC authorise to their work. Domo arigato, Japan!
