Ernesto Aguilar, Program Director for KPFT, spoke at NetSquared last night. It was an interesting discussion.

I encouraged him to adopt a Creative Commons license, one of the non-commercial licenses, and then come up with an easy mechanism to license their content for performance, reproduction, or film synchronization.
Now, to find an “easy mechanism” – that’s the hard part 🙂 It’s something, though, I’ve been thinking about doing …
