Creative Commons Archive

Via Jack Mottram comes news of the The Publisher. Leveraging the offer made by Archive.org to host any CC-licensed audio or video files, the Publisher is a tool to upload such files and provides a link to give people to download.

This has all the signs of a good thing:

  • Free.
  • Easy.
  • Not likely to go down anytime soon (although the archive does get stressed at times).
  • No legal or moral issues (yeah, big problem there).

I’ve been getting more and more impressed by Archive.org’s contribution to the net. The free movie archive is good, then the legal bootleg archive (which I recently noticed features shows by Texan alt rockers And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead… reason in itself to visit) and now this. Good stuff.
