New Copyright Licence Allows Remixing In UK

Posted by timothy on Monday October 4, 2004 @09:21PM from the catching-up-with-reality dept.

BearJ writes "Yahoo is reporting that Creative Commons is set to launch a new copyright licence in the UK that will allow for 'remix' use. Technically this use of another's works are illegal. Next month's Wired magazine will contain a CD licenced under this scheme, so sampling is permitted. More info on the Creative Commons site."
