A website eg. shouldn't be appealing as Apple's one, for example, but conveys the idea that free downloadable music is cool, Vorbis-seal of quality is cool, Linux-made-music is cool, because we are against the mainstream, and we think with our head. It's a different coolness. In fact, we are already convinced that we followed the right path, isn't it? We're already out of the MStream:) So, let's invent some logo, eg "Vorbis seal of quality" or "The Penguin plays here! (tm)", stick'em on websites, cd covers, ads etc., create some sort of manifesto, and create some hip hop song with a versification of GPL2 or something like this:) Let tell people that they can create a brave new world just by clicking on that PayPal button! The quality of your music should then speak by itself. We could say that "Creativity is Common, here!":) This would build a sense of community, some sort of a "CC-music scene". My 2 eurocents:) Carotinho ___________________________________ Yahoo! Mail: gratis 1GB per i messaggi e allegati da 10MB http://mail.yahoo.it
