I was just making dinner, listening to Radio 4, when something caught my ear. The words "Creative Commons". Wait, what? Why are they talking about this? It turned out to be a nice introduction to free/Free, copyright, creative commons, free culture, delivered by Auntie. A communist conspiracy!

You can get it on the podcast or stream it from here. Show it to your unenlightened friends!

edit: It appears that the versions I linked to cut off early. If you're in the UK you can listen to the whole version on the iPlayer.

Andy Lockran notes that the BBC iPlayer is finally available for non-Windows users, in a fashion – a Flash version which plays in a browser window. It notably doesn't support downloading of episodes, as the Windows version does, but it's definitely a step in the right direction – and shows that the BBC really are working to provide cross-platform support. Hooray for that. It seems to work quite well. Thanks to all those involved!

Edit: OK, seeking seems knackered. Grr.

Edit': The new flash version that was pushed out on Gutsy today seems to have fixed it!
