Nearly there

It's harder than I thought it would be, and then, it's not as hard as I thought it would be.

What it has done for me is enliven my brain, and I am seriously, again, interested in learning. Dan F's venture into the new-copyright of Creative Commons has me thinking about where law is heading as we continue plummet head first into this digital world.

Everything is available, traditional copyright law is grossly archaic and new frameworks are required to unlock all this old-style threatening limitation stuff and get people into thinking differently about sharing music, film and any other creative content over the web. My law school is the Australian centre for Creative Commons, which makes me a bit proud, and a lot fortunate. They run a subject which I intend to take. My cousin (another late starter in a legal career) suggested to me that I find an area of interest and focus on it as I work through the core units. CC may just be it.

Soundtrack for this semester was:
  1. Radiohead - In rainbows;
  2. Q-Tip - The renaissance;
  3. Commix - FabricLive 44;
  4. Sia - Some people have real problems; and
  5. Soul:ution Radio - various shows hosted by Marcus Intalex on RBMA Radio.

Almost straight after I finish my first semester of this course on Thursday, I'm off to see a film which is put on by CC Australia: RIP - A remix manifesto.

Looks interesting.
