The key to a new "multi-billion dollar industry"
January 30, 2006
Leading up the Asian premiere of my Free Culture show on Monday Feb 6 at 7:15 at INSEAD's Singapore campus (free of charge), I wanted to take stock of the evolution of the movement for free culture.
I found 2 great articles that give me confidence as we move into 2006. The first, via the Creative Commons blog, is a Business 2.0 article claiming Creative Commons could be the key to a new multibillion-dollar industry. Now that's what I'm talking about post-MBA. The second is on the activist side, with a Village Voice article about the NYU Chapter of freeculture.org, the student movement for free culture. Both worth the read, especially if you're in business school.

Thanks tricia! I'm hoping to come to China the week of March 1-6 (Hong Kong, Beijing, and Shanghai). I'd be up for doing the show if anyone could help set it up.

Update from Jeremy Rissi... Check out this article in Inc. magazine about a company that uses software programming contests to bring in the TopCoders.

Was there in the audience last evening. Would be interesting to have you over to present this to a wider Singapore audience. http://preetamrai.com/weblog/archives/2006/02/06/a-presentation-on-creative-commons/

Thanks Han and Preetam for coming to the show and for posting about it. I would love to do the show at another venue in Singapore for a Singapore audience, like a Library or University. Let me know if it's a possibility and I can send you press kit, etc..
