Technology in the Arts #38

In our most recent episode, Brad interviews Jonathan Coulton, an independent musician known by millions of geeks as the guy who wrote the song Still Alive for the award-winning console game Portal.

Coulton discusses his use of Creative Commons and other online practices to build a rabid and connected fan base.

Creative Commons allows an artist to apply a standard copyright and then scale back the restrictions. While many musicians and record executives are trying to find ways to lock down their songs, Coulton has found a way to make money giving his music away. (But please... be kind and pay what you can. The guy's good and deserves to eat.)

Check out Coulton's songs here.
