Dutch public broadcaster goes Creative Commons with new documentaries - Boing Boing:

POSTED BY CORY DOCTOROW, OCTOBER 1, 2009 8:48 AM | PERMALINK

The Dutch public broadcaster VPRO is currently running a thematic week on the century of the city. As part of this they have commissioned a number of documentaries about places like Johannesburg, Paris and Gurgaon and they have taken the still rather unusual stuff of releasing most of these under a Creative Commons license that allows for redistribution and remixing of these documentaries.
What is especially cool about this is that they are doing this with current documentaries that have aired for the first time in the last 10 days (and while they are also selling a DVD box edition and trying to sell the documentaries to other broadcasters). Right now English language versions of documentaries I am Gurgaon - the new city in Inda by Marije Meerman and Stayin’ Alive in Jo’Burg by Rob Schroder are available via bit-torrent and a third one (Metropolis: Coming to the City) will follow later this week.

VPRO Eeuw van de stad (Thanks, Paul!)

nice move!

PROMISE KEPT Mourners consoled each other at the funeral of Pvt. Kevin Elliott near Dundee, Scotland, Tuesday. Pvt. Elliott was killed in an explosion in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, on Aug. 31. Barry Delainey, right, was the soldier’s civilian best friend. They had a pact that when one of them died the other would attend the funeral in a dress.

I rarely reblog things. But, this is probably the most beautiful, funny, sad thing I’ve seen in ages.
