COPYRIGHT CRIMINALS REMIX CONTEST EXTENDED UNTIL
MARCH 14
New Vocal Samples from Chuck D and George Clinton
Made Available for Use
San Francisco, CA, USA - February 15, 2006
Creative Commons, along with filmmakers Kembrew
McLeod and Ben Franzen,
today announced that due to overwhelmingly
positive response, the
Copyright Criminals Remix Contest has been
extended by two weeks, ending
on March 14. Additionally, new vocal samples from
influential rapper
Chuck D (of Public Enemy) and pioneering funk
musician George Clinton
(of Parliament-Funkadelic) have been made
available for use in the
competition.
Winners will be chosen according to the same
criteria as originally
announced; no other contest details are changed.
The Copyright Criminals Remix Contest encourages
producers, DJs, and
remixers from around the world to use audio
snippets from the upcoming
documentary film Copyright Criminals in new,
original songs. One winner
will have his/her music featured prominently in
the final edit of
Copyright Criminals. The winning track, along with
11 runners-up, will
be included on the film's companion CD. The
contest is going on now at
http://ccmixter.org/copyrightcriminals/ .
Drawing from more than fifty interviews with
prominent musicians,
artists, scholars, lawyers, and music industry
representatives,
Copyright Criminals looks at the development of
sound collage (also
known as sampling). The film explores the
complicated impact that
copyright law has had on the creative practice of
sampling and studies
the conflicting opinions artists and others have
about appropriation.
Samples of dialogue by artists like De La Soul, DJ
Qbert, Matmos,
Coldcut, and members of Negativland - all taken
from interviews
conducted for Copyright Criminals - are available
online at the popular
remix community ccMixter.org for use as source
material to be included
in entrants' songs. Entries will be judged by
McLeod, Franzen, and
author/producer Jeff Chang. Contest rules and
details are available at
$&.
