Filmmaker Andy Pavis has made an eight-minute-long public service announcement about Creative Commons and our mission, entitled Some Rights Reserved. Andy cleverly frames the copyright debate between two extremes in the context of a talk show hosted by “Larry Commons.” The PSA then explores an example of Aaron, a musician who goes through the process of choosing a license to put his song into the commons. The PSA ends on an inspiring note when a filmmaker, a dancer, and a musician find Aaron’s song and build upon it. The PSA itself is licensed under an Attribution-Noncommercial-ShareAlike license — so feel free to distribute noncommercially, or even remix as long as you give Andy credit.
