Hey mindhive, what's currently the project that best fits this description:

"A collaborative, curated, decentralised repository of streamable and downloadable, openly licensed music and film, for an alternative to proprietary, #DRM-promoting streaming services."

And how can such a service reliably serve those digital artefacts to millions, with as little disruption as #Netflix et al.?

Obviously, it needs to not become a weird alt-right cesspool like #LBRY et al.

#FLOSS, and more generally our #Commons, have no marketing budget. Our advocacy is what they rely on in great part to make sure people even know they exist, or don’t forget they still do, so they can be(come) a part of them.
“Too good to be true” is a very common concept, and it hurts amazing projects that successfully live outside a hard logic of monetary profit, exploitation and dependence.
Keep mentioning and discussing your favourite, iconic or most promising elements that make our Commons.

Publishers Are Taking the Internet to Court
– by Maria Bustillos, for The Nation

https://www.thenation.com/article/society/publishers-are-taking-the-internet-to-court/

Penguin Random House, Hachette and HarperCollins joined forces to file a lawsuit against the #InternetArchive.
In doing so, they are attacking our #Commons, weakening #Libraries, and threatening to destroy a monument of our digital history's archival.

About 5 days left to vote for the final round in #Wikimedia #Commons' Picture of the Year 2019:

Anyone interested in joining a gup.pe on the #Commons? -> @commons

Here's an interesting thing that makes me happy: looking at #Wikimedia statistics, I noticed that user contributions on all projects (minus Commons, it seems, for some reason) have plateaued between 2007 and ~2014, but have grown very significantly again since 2014, with the latest month on record the highest ever record: more than 28 million edits in March 2019! See the cool stats website here: https://stats.wikimedia.org/v2/#/all-projects/contributing/user-edits/normal||2001-01-01~2019-04-01|~total| 📊

Your roughly tri-monthly reminder that there is a #Matrix room called "Share the #Commons", in which people (i.e. mostly me) share quality digital artefacts that can be freely circulated.

Hey, PSA and reminder: I created a #Riot room that is dedicated to sharing the #Commons (mainly sharing digital cultural works currently) and anyone can join and participate : https://matrix.to/#/!PbNlnxVMSOLgIeSsZE:matrix.org
Let's show everyone that there is plenty of high quality stuff released into the Commons! 🌈 🤘

I hope you like it! :)

Favourite #Queer musician? Extra points if they release #music straight into the #Commons. Boost appreciated.

Is there absolutely no way to filter a #Wikimedia #Commons search by licence type? Or am I taking crazy pills?

Hey #Commons enthusiasts, I created a #Riot / #Matrix room to share anything that is legally shareable and is worth sharing, if you are interested at all: https://riot.im/app/#/room/#share-the-commons:matrix.org
Right now, it's mostly me sharing #electronicMusic that I think is good, but I'd love to see more people join :)
Let's show people there is a world of beautiful artefacts beyond the All Rights Reserved.

I've been working my way through the #NetlabelDay 2017 releases for my radio show, and I'm now listening to the mix I put together one year ago for Netlabel Day 2016, and it's not toooo bad, I mean the tracks are great of course but also I did not completely ridiculed myself as an amateur DJ I don't reckon: https://www.mixcloud.com/GNTL/studio-dessai-lxxx-netlabel-day-2016/

They release tons of music for the #Commons on their #Bandcamp if you want to have a browse.

Congratulations and <3 !
