MY OFFICIAL POSITION ON COPYRIGHT
Now that I’m a full-time free culture activist, some have expressed the concern, “You don’t think there should be any copyright at all! You want to take away my right to protect my intellectual property!”
Let me assure you this is not true.
I completely support your right to copy-restrict your works. The more you copyright (restrict access to) your work, the more wide-open the field is for free culture like Sita Sings the Blues. Open-licensed work has a tremendous competitive advantage over copy-restricted work. So by all means, please “protect” your “property.”
See you on the other side of success!
Copying Isn’t Theft
UPDATE: can anyone arrange this as a show tune? I originally heard it in my head as a show tune, but I’m musically illiterate. See the growing links list of awesome covers here.
Feel free to remix, re-record, or otherwise re-make this song so I can animate to it.Full interview on Thirteen.org.
Sita Subtitles needed!
We need Sita subtitled in as many languages as possible!
Attention subtitlers:
If your subtitle files are ready before the upcoming DVD is mastered, we will include them on the upcoming “official” DVD. The DVD will be authored the week of March 23, 2009. Thanks!

This is inspired, and makes me love everyone. (Thank you for the tip, Eric!)
High Res “Sita” Stills, wiki
Big ol’ hi-res “Sita” PNGs now at archive.org! They’re suitable for print publication.
More coming, as I get time to deal with everything. Whenever that is.
Speaking of which, does anyone want to help make the “Frequently Asked Interview Questions” part of the Sita FAQ? This would involve going through all the interviews I’ve done about Sita Sings the Blues (a few are linked to here, the rest need to be googled), determining which questions are asked over and over again, and consolidating the answers based on what I’ve already said. If I tackle it now that’ll mean another day I don’t get to the new DVD packaging and other tasks I have to do myself. We’ve got a wiki; I’m still learning how to use it, but feel free to start a FAQ there with a brand new FAQ section. Thanks!
