Launched in April 2004 , Creative Commons BR was the first fully functional regional CC affiliate. Inaugurated in a cooperative effort with FGV law school's Center for Technology & Society (CTS), it has Ronaldo Lemos as its most vibrant executive. Free Culture, Open Business, and Overmundo are some of the new initiatives CC-BR is now participating, and the hosting of iSummit06 is a display of the Brazilian movement's importance in global terms.
It's indeniable the major role of Brazilian Minister of Culture, Gilberto Gil, as a great supporter of the new licenses model in Brazil, and also in the spreading of the noveGltie to the world. As a known musician star, and at the same time being in charge of Brazilian cultural policies guidelines, he's managed to translate the concepts into actions: he colaborated in the developing of the sampling licenses in 2004, participated with a music in the Wired Cd (rip, sample, mash, share) and now his iSummit06 keynote speech about globalism was the first document created with the CC-Office plug-in tool, recently launched in the event.
The partnership between Gilberto Gil and Creative Commons has been a succesfull one, and it is documented in a short video (2004). As we've been hearing: "Anyone in the world would like to jam with Gilberto Gil".
