Denver Open Media (DOM)
The Denver Open Media project (DOM) as of Spring 2010 is at the forefront of enabling the general public to use "public access internet" text, audio, and video content. The socio-economic goal is to bypass the "advertising model" of radio and television much exploited and manipulated by major corporations, those with the money fund the production of "mass media" which captivates quite literally "the masses" in a region, state, or country. But "mass media" has changed dramatically with the advent of the Internet. At DOM facilities (in Denver, CO, USA) the general public can take classes to learn how to use digital video and audio equipment to create shows that they and their friends want to see. The content is web published on a DOM web server (I, the PI, assume) and has only the "Creative Commons copyright". I.e. anyone else can use DOM-published Internet materials to create THEIR own, very original show or "message" or social commentary!

The Creative Common Copyright
The Creative Commons project, begun has created a novel 21st Century copyright scheme, the "Creative Commons Copyright". In short: everyone "owns" and can make "derived versions of" any material which has a "Creative Commons Copyright" without obtaining the permission of the originator / pubisher / producer of the content to be reused for other purposes. In this respect, the Creative Commons notion is very much like the much older idea for free open source computer application and server code, the GNU "Public License". No one owns code published with a GNU Public License. Anyone with the skills can use published working code to build a "better project" on top of it (or with the cloned code as part of the foundation of the new code).

The GNU Public License
This WikiPedia.org web page explains the GNU Public License for software development allowing unrestricted reuse of free and open source code with that license. As of April 2010, there are 3 versions of the GNU P/L. In this respect, the GNU P/L is for computer source code what the Creative Commons Copyright is for hard-copy (in-print) and Internet digital content.
