To celebrate the Creative Commons release of Lawrence Lessig’s latest book, Remix, we’re hosting a competition called REMIX THE REMIXER. Prizes include a ‘remixed’ book signed by Cory Doctorow, a copy of Remix signed by Lawrence Lessig and £200 (approximately 300 USD) worth of any Bloomsbury books.
To enter: Find any video, interview, or written work of Lessig’s, mash it up with another piece of Lessig’s work and create something new, unique and creative. It can be a video (3 min max), photo or text. Entries should be submitted on our new Facebook page, by joining the ‘Remix the Remixer‘ event and submitting your remix on the wall. All entries should be received by 31 May 2009, after which public voting will begin.
Some people have asked why it took so long for us to post Remix on a Creative Commons (CC) license. The contractual arrangements with the originating publisher – Penguin USA – only allowed for CC release on the 1st of May. With other titles, where we have global rights, CC licensing will happen simultaneously with the print publication.
