Watch This Video: The Importance of The Commons
Sarah Kuck, 29 Jan 09
This short video does a great job of reminding us how vitally important our commons are, and why Creative Commons is such a valuable solution:
In this innovative animation, filmmaker Laura Hanna, writer Gavin Browning and video artists/animators Dana Schechter and Molly Schwartz examine the concept of "The Commons" as a means to achieve a society of justice and equality.
More on the commons from our archives:
Creative Commons and "Read-Write" Culture

Creative Commons and "Copyleft"
great use of animation and good points. i support any video that helps educate people about the internet's powerful ability for collaboration among all. some of the best ideas have been built by collaboration.
Great work!
