Amen! Go Derek and other enlightened Canadian musicians (like Colin) go!

The Canadian Music Creators Coalition—which includes Barenaked Ladies, Avril Lavigne, Sarah McLachlan, Chantal Kreviazuk, Sum 41, Stars, Raine Maida, Dave Bidini, Billy Talent, John K. Samson, Broken Social Scene, Sloan, Andrew Cash, and Bob Wiseman—is exactly the right idea:

1. Suing Our Fans is Destructive and Hypocritical
2. Digital Locks are Risky and Counterproductive
3. Cultural Policy Should Support Actual Canadian Artists

Rock on. I'm signing up myself.

I will be creating a 1-3 minute movie using some cool Derek Miller music as part of Photo Camp from 1:35-2:05pm. Friday February 10th using Photo To Movie at Northern Voice MooseCamp out of photos tagged "Moosecampmovie" (must have Vancouver theme, bonus points for a Moose and Vancouver tie in) in flickr OR in the Moosecamp Movie Flickr group OR just send email them to roland AT rolandtanglao.com AND that are:

• Creative Commons Attribution licensed OR
• CC Attribution non commercial OR
• where the author gives me permission to use his/her photos and distribute the movie with the photos for non commercial purposes on blip.tv, You Tube, Google Video, etc.

Looking forward to seeing you at MooseCamp and making a cool movie out of your cool photos!

No pressure Derek. But can't wait to get the CD! Looking forward to playing it loud and also am loving the fact that I know that the money I paid went directly to the artist (of course PayPal got a little).

UPDATE: I'd better get cracking. I already have at least three people (Roland included) who want to buy the thing, and I don't even have my music page updated with the info. I'll still take their money and send them early copies if they want, though!

Copies of my debut CD have finally arrived, and I'll soon be making them available for sale. In the meantime, you can check out photos and listen to all the podsafe tunes (plus more) for free at my Penmachine Podcast page.
