1st Creative Commons Brazil Licence signed by Gilberto Gil
http://tinyurl.com/2hcfqd
At the launch of Creative Commons Brazil in Porto Alegre, in June 2004, Gilberto Gil, the Brazilian Minister of Culture and one of Brazil's most famous musicians, signed a symbolic CC license. This piece is a combination of CC-history and Brazilian cultural history. Gil was one of the first international musicians to release songs under CC licences, and has been an active supporter of Creative Commons in Brazil and all over the world.
Five Japanese Prints by Joi Ito (Photographic prints)
http://tinyurl.com/26f2o4
A set of five photographs from Joi Ito’s Flickr collection, showing nature and landscape portraits from Japan.
Apart from being the chairman of the board of Creative Commons and a member of the board of iCommons, Joi Ito is an avid photographer. In this collection he shoots a Shinkansen station in Yamagata, a view of Shanghai from the JW Marriot, a bamboo thicket from his yard and detail of dragonfly wings.

Pre-print of Cory Doctorow’s forthcoming novel Little Brother
http://tinyurl.com/23q4f3
A signed set of pre-publication galleys from his forthcoming, to-be-CC-licensed novel, Little Brother. Cory Doctorow is a blogger, journalist and science fiction author. He is active in the Free Culture Movement, and speaks and writes extensively about liberalizing copyright laws, digital rights management, file sharing, Disney, and post-scarcity economics. He is a proponent of the Creative Commons organisation, and uses some of their licenses for his books. Little Brother is his latest book, as yet unpublished, which is written for young adults. It is about hackers who declare war on the Department of Homeland Security, and can be seen as a how-to guide for young culture and technology jammers.
Five Bookmooch books from Bookmooch Founder, John Buckman
http://tinyurl.com/27yo2h
BookMooch is an international, on-line book exchange community founded by John Buckman in July 2006. It has around 40,000 members, and membership is open to anyone and is free. BookMooch uses a points system for exchanging books, and members earn points by adding books to their inventories, sending books to other members and providing feedback when they receive books. The points earned can then be used to “buy” books from other members. All books “cost” the same number of points, with a small point surcharge for international mooches.
