Great news for all you producers, DJs, and remixers: the Copyright
Criminals Remix Contest over at ccMixter has been extended by two

musician George Clinton (of Parliament-Funkadelic) have been made

More details below:
COPYRIGHT CRIMINALS REMIX CONTEST EXTENDED UNTIL MARCH 14
New Vocal Samples from Chuck D and George Clinton Made Available for
Use
San Francisco, CA, USA – February 15, 2006
Creative Commons, along with filmmakers Kembrew McLeod and Ben
Franzen,
today announced that due to overwhelmingly positive response, the
Copyright Criminals Remix Contest has been extended by two weeks,
ending on March 14. Additionally, new vocal samples from influential
rapper Chuck D (of Public Enemy) and pioneering funk musician George
Clinton (of Parliament-Funkadelic) have been made available for use in the competition.
Winners will be chosen according to the same criteria as originally
announced; no other contest details are changed.
The Copyright Criminals Remix Contest encourages producers, DJs, and
remixers from around the world to use audio snippets from the upcoming
documentary film Copyright Criminals in new, original songs. One
winner
will have his/her music featured prominently in the final edit of
Copyright Criminals. The winning track, along with 11 runners-up, will
be included on the film's companion CD. The contest is going on now at
http://ccmixter.org/.
Drawing from more than fifty interviews with prominent musicians,
artists, scholars, lawyers, and music industry representatives,
Copyright Criminals looks at the development of sound collage (also
known as sampling). The film explores the complicated impact that
copyright law has had on the creative practice of sampling and studies
the conflicting opinions artists and others have about appropriation.
Samples of dialogue by artists like De La Soul, DJ Qbert, Matmos,
Coldcut, and members of Negativland – all taken from interviews
conducted for Copyright Criminals – are available online at the
popular
remix community ccMixter.org for use as source material to be included
in entrants' songs. Entries will be judged by McLeod, Franzen, and
author/producer Jeff Chang. Contest rules and details are available at
http://ccmixter.org.
