Creative Commons Moving Images Winners
ArcRiley writes "The winners have been announced for the contest that Creative Commons launched last fall to deliver their ``some rights reserved'' message with a short video. Congratulations to Justin Cone, Sheryl Seibert, and Kuba & Alek Tarkowski for their winning videos!"
A number of the clips use clips from (or at least available in the) Prelinger Archives.
All of these videos require you to attribute their work should you build on it. It would be nice if they would provide credit to their sources as well (although, as public domain, they are not required to).

"Since the strongest selling point of the CC system is that there are really sixteen CC licenses that are formed by mixing and matching four binary attributes"
Actually there are only 11 licenses because some of those binary attributes are incompatible. Like "share-alike", which is what they call copyleft, the "viral" part of the GPL, which forces derivative works to have the same license; and "noDerivs" which forbids derivative works completely.
If copyleft "infects" derivative works, then noDerivs aborts them. It doesn't make any sense to get upset about one, but not the other, unless you're a troll or just resent the GPL for some reason.
Their "strongest selling point" can be a weakness because CC licenses are incompatible with each other.
No you dont. First you download QuickTime and make sure you got up to date codecs. Then you go clicking on things. The poster above, on the other hand, had all he needed but didnt know how to turn it on. That does not make your environment in any way superior. Just different.
The mplayer is one of the most sophisticated and powerful media players, capable of playing so many formats on so many devices that it makes Windows based playback tools look silly by comparison. But it does require a bit of know-how.
