We have worked with the ARC Centre of Excellence for Australian Creative Commons Clinic (CC Clinic) since its inception on a number of adventurous projects. Most notably were the two Open Channel Video Slam rights management workshops produced for Arts Law Week 2007 and 2008. Created in association with the CC Clinic and Horse Bazaar, the Video Slams explored the use of Creative Commons licenses in a real production environment, testing their application in a complex mix of re-use content from the world over.

Whether it was Video Slam or any other of the open content initiatives I have been involved with the Creative Commons Clinic have been an invaluable resource and encouragement to my team and I. We are entirely indebted to them for their tireless support and expertise.

Since the great server move of December 2007 podcasts on Secession Records had dropped off-line. After an agonising few months trying to address this problem, amidst all our other projects, we decided to re-host the entire collection… This meant creating a dedicated site for our Secession artists and re-directing the old RSS / podcast feed to the new one.

Thankfully, this was more grunt than technical wizardry, but all the huff and puffing has paid off.
