Bonus Tuneback: Creative Commons for the Common Man

June 28, 2007 | Author: Joel Falconer | Filed under:

Midnight.Haulkerton dedicated our last Tuneback, Copyfight, to the work of Professor Lawrence Lessig. However, upon reflection and consideration, we felt the lyrics did not do the depth, extent, and great importance of Professor Lessig’s work justice.

This song was written by myself and my friend, and (in my opinion) one of the world’s greatest songwriters, NDK Creative Artist. The backing vocals on this song are the work of my wife, Isabelle Falconer.

“Creative Commons for the Common Man” is a song that celebrates the alternative choices Professor Lessig has given creators, the freedom he has given consumers and the work he has done to show the world that there is a better way.

This is a song that is, of course, licensed under Creative Commons, completely and utterly DRM-free, and you are welcome to recycle, reuse, remix, and share this song as much as you want without fear of legal retribution.
