If you’ll be in the San Francisco Bay Area tomorrow night (Thursday, July 23), please join us for a screening of RiP: A Remix Manifesto, the acclaimed new documentary about remix culture, copyright, Girl Talk, Lawrence Lessig, Gilberto Gil, Cory Doctorow, and others. The film (released under a Creative Commons BY-NC license) is being presented by the San Francisco Film Society at Mezzanine (444 Jessie St.); doors open at 7pm and the screening begins at 7:30. RiP’s director, Brett Gaylor, will be in attendance to discuss the film and take questions. Members of the CC staff will be there too – please come by and say hi.
After the screening, DJs Adrian and the Mysterious D from Bootie SF will get the second part of the night – a dance party! – started with a live set of their awesome remixes and mash-ups. They’ll be followed by the incredible VJ crew Eclectic Method, who will rock the house with a live video remix set incorporating samples from movies, television, video games, found footage, and all kinds of visual randomness.
The event is open to people 21 years of age and older. Tickets (available here) are $12 for SFFS members and $17 for non-members. More information is available on the San Francisco Film Society’s website.

Sweden’s Pirate Party Wins Seat in Euro Parliament
By Kris Erickson | Posted on Jun 14, 2009
… “The Pirate Party currently has more than 50,000 official members, making it the third-largest political party in Sweden. It will be interesting to see whether the success of Falkvinge’s group spreads beyond Europe, and what significance this has for the video game industry.”
With the plethora of recent news articles surrounding Sweden’s Piratepartiet, It will be interesting to see how this affects the video game industry…and clearly the music industry and cultural producers in general. What might be more interesting is how this resonates in the United States. Seemingly on par with such organizations as the Open Content Alliance’s Internet Archive Project and the P2P Foundation’s concept of Copyleft, this Pirate Party movement could see some serious shifts in cultural production the near future.
