POPSDespotism (1946) Produced as the companion video to Democracy 1945, this measuring stick of 63 years ago is no less applicable today. We are definitely living under a despotic soft tyranny in America TODAY, my friends! Those who cannot see it are blind or stupid or both. They need to be made to see and educated. Those advocating and perpetuating these liberty killing ISM's need to be STOPPED! If you are not already involved in doing just that, what the heck are you waiting for? http://www.americangrandjury.org http://www.riseupforamerica.com Shared with you courtesy of the public domain at: http://www.archive.org

POPSDeathBoy's "ToRights" album for free and LEGAL download From the man himself: "The whole album IS, as far as I'm concerned, Public Domain. But, if you like it, please do burn CDs, copy it to friends' iPods, link to us… it's totally fine if you don't buy the music, but if you can take a few seconds to link us / friend us / hook us up, that helps and is appreciated."

POPSAmerican Bacon A fan of bacon, creator of PocketBacon, made this work to celebrate the quintessential rebellious American food -- Bacon. "Bacon is sex in a skillet," Dan Philips of the Grateful Palate once said. "It's the ultimate aphrodisiac for all living things. Except pigs, of course."

POPSEntrepreneur Commons Googling for OpenBusiness, I found the Entrepreneur Commons top-listed. Two questions: Is somebody here already active in this community? Does somebody here know Muhammed Yunus or has read his book "Creating a World without Poverty" I am going to try to get his book via a public library.

POPSNo Law Suits, Please! The new rage on facebook is to design a random album cover with the provided formula. The problem is you don't want to use the random photo generator on the main Flickr page, as these photos are usually copyrighted. This page is the better alternative for that function with photos that are licensed (Creative Commons) for use.

POPSCreative Commons License All my piano musings have a by-nc-sa license applied to them. That means that you can, without having to contact me and ask, download the pieces, and share them provided my name stays attached. You can also adapt them into your own works provided you apply a similar noncommercial license to the resultant work, and again give me attribution. All my songs have a by-nc-nd license. That means that you can, without contacting me to ask, download and share my songs provided you keep my name attached. nd stands for "No Derivatives", meaning you can't adapt them into your own works. So it's a slightly more restrictive license. You can of course feel free to contact me for more permissions on any of them, though. Some of the art musings have already had extra permissions granted to them (even though they are connected to my tunes, I let the artist have commercial purposes for the resultant art). Just contact me, I love to collaborate.
