the CCalps Salon
While the established content industry is still struggling to find a way to cope with the challenges of digital media and its use in the private sphere, Creative Commons is providing an alternative approach, facing the development in digital culture. Throughout the years, Creative Commons licenses have been adapted to federal legislations and encouraged new projects to evolve from it, because of the the spirit of free content. This spirit will lead the media industry into the 21 century with Creative Commons as a tool to realize it. We have a vital scene, supporting the ideas of Creative Commons. This digital scene is spread throughout the Alps with its cultural hotspot Vienna and the evolving underdog Dornbirn, where the CC alps Salons will take place simultaneously. The common sense, bringing different actors around Creative Commons together, is one of the reasons to establish this event in order to provide a deeper understanding of the ideas and the possibilities of Creative Commons. The CC alps Salon is designed to link different kind of knowledge together, which benefits every participant, No matter if you are just fascinated by digital media and its possibilities or if you are using CC professionally, the CC alps Salon offers the perfect possibility to get first hand information from the people behind this license and active actors, realizing these ideas. An enjoyable evening, with lectures, live music and artwork in a creative atmosphere, bringing people together.
