The beauty of Creative Commons – The “Code Monkey” story

So this guy named Jonathan Coulton quit his job as a software analyst and created this song which he licensed under Creative Commons.

This is himself singing the song live:

but since it’s licensed under Creative Commons, anyone can use the Intelectual Property and do fun things,
so these guys decided to make a Video for the song:

and then another guy grabed the World of Warcraft World Modeler and did another video…

and my favorite, one made with The Sims 2.

Go to Jonathan Coulton’s web site to hear the song and learn the lyrics.

You can support Jonathan by buying his song for only $1.
