Open Source Culture represents the simple idea that ideas are free. That information yearns to be free. We acknowledge that copyright laws are unsuitable for a world that’s highly digitized; where content and information are, and should be, abundant and readily available for anyone.

The goal of the Open Source Culture initiative is to support and facilitate the creation, distribution and remixing/re-using/re-imagining of any artform that can be stored and distributed in a digital manner (i.e. books, essays, music, photos, code, video, etc.) without copyright restrictions.

The Open Source Culture Fund will be used to commission new artworks to be created and released into the public domain.

This will be done in three ways:

1. Through direct, private arrangements between Satoshee Strategy and artists

2. Through public contests in which artists can submit offers as to what they would be willing to create for the public domain for a preset amount of BTC

3. Through zaps to users on the nostr network, who create and/or distribute Public Domain or Creative Commons (CC-BY) licensed content with the hashtag #opensourceculture

Heya 🤠 Do you publish any of your music without copyright or a CC-BY license? Or if not (yet), then you might want want to keep an eye out for the Creator Contest - just published a note with some preliminary details 😉

StackinBeets 11mo ago

Hi! I read the note you're referring to but I don't think I understand. I also have no idea about the copyright stuff haha. Do you mean I could propose a track of mine to your contest? And does it have to be a new one or can I pick one I already had?

Open Source Culture 11mo ago

Mostly, by default whenever you publish something somewhere they automatically assume you have/want the copyright. But on many platforms you can choose to publish in the Public Domain or several Creative Commons licenses (CC-BY is what I would consider the only properly "Open Source" CC license).

As for the contest, it should be a new song / project. The details will be posted soon, but basically the idea is this:

1) We have a prize/commission (200k+ sats)

2) Artists propose what they would (and could) create for that prize/commission - along with proof of previous works (they don't create it yet)

3) People vote on the best idea / artist

4) Votes are tallied up, the best idea / artist gets paid 50% of the prize, they create what they promised to create, they get paid the other 50%

5) The newly created work is published in the nostr:nprofile1qyd8wumn8ghj7cn0wd68ytnvv43hgatjd9n8jtnwv46z7qg4waehxw309a5xjum59ehx7um5wghxcctwvsqzqr5g4trndr2lykpyx7pxqs4nlvazdgfx70v9wcvvddn99204h7s27tcduj Open Source Culture section and the public domain

Hope this makes sense :) If not, more details coming soon! Or just ask any further questions you might have 😉
