First Music Video to be released under creative commons license.

[Haven]

This is good news for those who believe information wants to be free!

An added bonus is that it was done by one of my favourite bands of all time. I seriously doubt we'll be seeing bands like metallica doing this anytime soon.

"Pearl Jam released their first music video in quite a while under a Creative Commons license [CC] allowing anyone to "legally copy, distribute and share the clip" for noncommercial purposes. Creative Commons thinks this may be the first video produced by a major label ever to be CC-licensed. So although the file is only available as a free download [CC] via Google Video through May 24, fans can continue sharing it online themselves in perpetuity."
