We pledge allegiance to the penguin

Article Abstract:

A small delegation of American on-line rights activists and scholars attempted to convince Brazil's newly appointed minister of culture, Gilberto Gil for a project of an online music archive that might contain every Brazilian song ever recorded, all downloadable for free. Gil agreed to support the project and also lend his government's funds to a new digital-sampling license designed by Creative Commons, the US nonprofit, to explore alternatives to increasingly restrictive terms of copyright.
