Pearl Jam Releases Video Under Creative Commons

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the popular-to-be-free dept.

minitrue writes "Pearl Jam released their first music video in quite a while under a Creative Commons license allowing anyone to "legally copy, distribute and share the clip" for noncommercial purposes. Creative Commons thinks this may be the first video produced by a major label ever to be CC-licensed. So although the file is only available as a free download via Google Video through May 24, fans can continue sharing it online themselves in perpetuity."

    Waaah, publicity stunt. It's free! Enjoy it and don't whine about it.

    Yea it's free, until May 24-th (they you gotta look it up on bittorents or youtube).
    And yea enjoy it, in all its compress Flash video 320x240 uneditable low bitrate glory.

    Gosh that's so pathetic. I'd rather watch MTV (even if the logo "takes half the screen" , my ass).
