Since Trent Reznor has already been mentioned, let me tell you a story I heard from Jon Phillips who worked for Creative Commons Foundation until few years ago. They (the foundation) worked quite hard for CC licenses to get recognition, but somehow they weren't getting as much of it as the hoped. Shortly after Trent released his first indie album (2007 or so) Jon had a flight in China, and he was sitting next to some guys from a rock band. They started chatting, and the guys asked him, what he did for a job. - Well, I work for Creative Commons Foundation - Ah, right. That's the thing that Trent Raznor came up with, eh? - ???!!! > How do you find, discover good new (and old) music ? last.fm :) Alexandre Prokoudine http://libregraphicsworld.org _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
