wired mag, free beasties track, cool copyright...
I love wired magazine, apart from it's heavily america centric style of writing, the technology bits and pieces often make it worth the 10-12 bucks you pay for it over here. What I love is how rabidly enthusiastic they are about technology and gadgetry and general nerd culture.
The cover of this issue features the beastie boys and gag is that they've included a 16 track CD with tracks by some big name acts under a new copyright scheme. Not only are you able to download the tracks from the creativecommmons.org website (After November 9th) you are free to do whatever you like with the tracks, redistribute them, remix them and work the songs or parts of them into your own work, and the only major restruction is that you can do whatever you like with the tracks for non-commerical purposes. How bloody awesome is that?
Here's an online copy of the article too.
