Boing Boing recently pointed out a music video cre­ated by Jonathan Coul­ton. Mr. Coul­ton went to Flickr and found a bunch of images with Cre­ative Com­mon licenses. He then cre­ated a touch­ing music video based on those images. This is the sort of thing that could not have been done with­out Cre­ative Com­mons as Mr. Coul­ton would have have been tied up for weeks & weeks search­ing for the copy­right own­ers of the images to get each of their per­mis­sion to use the images in his project.

Mr. Coul­ton also has a selec­tion of his other songs (also CC licensed) on his web­site which are worth downloading.
