[fc-uk-discuss] Celebrating appropriation - A freeCulture fanzine.

[Timothy Cowlishaw]

Hi all - excuse the spam, I am posting this in various places. Anyone  
of an artistic bent on here who would like to be involved, please get  
in touch. Cheers! Tim

I am in the process of making a little fanzine-y thing to be  
distributed around town and the interweb, and I need submissions from  
people who would like to write / photograph / draw / paint / whatever  
something for inclusion.

The whole thing is intended as a celebration of appropriation:  
including inspiration, quotation, parody, homage, and blatant  
thievery - so what i need is for people to produce a 'work'  - be it  
visual or textual in nature, that takes something pre-existing (a  
song, photograph, story, poem, picture, anything) and creates  
soething new from that starting point.

For this to work, I need as big a variety of material as possible -  
it doesn't have to be technically brilliant - if anything i'd like to  
see more 'amateur' stuff included, so please, iif you have any time  
to spare, please give this some thought and send me something. I will  
print your name and contact details / web site address / whatever  
next to your work - so you will get recognition and perhaps the  
possibility of further work from other people who see the 'zine, as  
well as the warm, fuzzy feeling of having simply taken part in  
something really special.

The only criteria for submissions are that they should reflect the  
theme given above, and should be reproducible in black and white on a  
maximum of one A5 side of paper.

The fanzine (and all work published) will be released under a  
creative commons BY-SA license, rather than traditional copyright.   
This essentially means that anyone can use the work for any purpose,  
and can create derivative work from it without having to seek  
permission, as long as you, the author, are credited, and they make  
their work available in the same way. If you are not happy with this,  
please don't submit anything. More information is available here:
