This is an interesting video, but how does this has anything to do with Startups, Technology, Development, UX or Tech Business... This is the why I think HN is becoming another Reddit. It's a shame...

Interesting link. Certainly related to the rise of alternative copyright models, which are certainly related to technology and startups. Obviously relevant and valid HN link.

I see that you've just passed your one-year anniversary here, so I guess you are now officially entitled to complain that HN is turning into Reddit, but I think that this video is actually an exploration of an interesting hack.

Anyone who works in technology is going to have to deal with intellectual property, as well as the laws/attitudes around the same. Moreover, music is an essential component of culture, which means comprehension of music, or at least its recombinant nature, may improve your chances of creating a consumer product people love. edit: And come on, you've been around long enough to have read the FAQ: "On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity." (my emphasis) This passes by any measure. Being well-rounded is a good idea. I love seeing content like this way more than the insipid, obvious, naval-gazing, circlejerking blog nonsense that often passes for worthwhile reading just because the author mentions "funding" or "startups" or anything else in vogue n times before the post finishes.

Copyright.

The end of the video discusses how a "society free to build upon the past" is able to create new forms of expression from old ideas. As opposed to articles condemning software patents and IP trolls, this video explores the benefits of unencumbered reuse of earlier work.

Starting minute 11:00 and specifically 14:30 the narrator actually starts talking about Copyright and the video becomes interesting... so yes, this is actually about Copyright and licensing.
