Lessig on "Who Owns Culture?"

This talk is almost a year old, but Lawrence Lessig has just put out a video, with his voice synchronized to visuals of his slides. Not only is the content important, but his presentation format is compelling and effective.

Oh, and the video is being distributed using the YouTube-like YouAre.tv (see player below), which includes Creative Commons licensing in its upload process. Blip.tv has had this feature for awhile now, and its something we’re including in Openomic, as well.

It is also available as Torrent.

Sites that Help Video Producers Make Money

Scott Kirsner, editor of Cinematech has published a free excerpt from his book, The Future of Web Video.

“New revenue opportunities are emerging with the recent boom in video viewing on the Web. On this chart, I’ve tried to list all of the Web sites that enable independent video producers to make money from their work. I’ve ranked the sites subjectively, based on how much traffic and buzz they’ve been attracting, and also how likely it seems that a video producer would actually manage to earn a significant return by posting a video to them.”


Even though we are still in beta, Cruxy has been included in this list, along with many other great sites – some competitors and others with different approaches to making money. View the full chart and buy the book on Scott’s website. (Thanks, Scott!)
