Oktapodi

This short is so cute and so well done… and it’s situated on a Greek island, though it’s apparently made by French students. I just had to post it!

Insanely original

Ok, I saw this video today and it’s insanely original… well, it is insane no matter how you look at it. Another fine example of a highly derivative work that is creative and original (though it does have a lot in common with Monty Python’s Flying Circus). Click here to go directly to YouTube.

Ok, so the video has been quickly removed :(

I wonder whether this is the doing of the automatic copyrighted content recognition and removal system I heard YouTube has installed. I also wonder what will happen to fair use if one day copyright enforcement will become perfectly automated and unbreakable.

Copy. Right?

This video is amazing, probably the most entertaining way of learning about the negative effects of excessive copyright restrictions, but also about the defense provided by fair use. Sure, good arguments can be made in support of copyright, but hey, this is more fun. And creative, even if it is a strictly derivative work. If the embedded video does not work, click here to go to YouTube.

YOUTUBERS

Probably my favorite youtube video, a dedication to the youtube generation… a generation lost or enlightened? A bunch of crap or the birth of a new folk culture? You be the judge.

Social music tools

Hypemachine may be the ultimate social music tool. It automatically aggregates music from thousands of blogs. Listen to what’s hot and groovy in the blogosphere. Check it out…

And of course if you know anything about social music networks, you must know last.fm. If not, it’s well worth a try. Another great way to discover new music and make new friends in the process.
