Mark Hosler: Creative Commons is “the Sierra Club of Intellectual Property, Negativland is more like Earth Firsters.”

There’s a nice short video interview with Mark Hosler of Negativland at Minnesota Stories talking about the Creative Commons approach to copyright and what he sees as problems with it. Actually, it’s more of a Hosler monologue than an interview, but pretty concise and informative nonetheless.

I didn’t know this, but apparently Negativland helped come up with the Creative Commons sampling license, spurred in part because they didn’t like any of the other CC licenses.
