Charles Manson Releases Record Under Creative Commons

Friday April 4, 2008

Celebrity endorsements aren't always a good thing. Take, for example, Lawrence Lessing's opensource copyright organization, Creative Commons. Sure everyone was excited when Trent Reznor moved a trillion copies of the new Nine Inch Nails record using the license, but the same doesn't seem to apply to Charles Manson.

Perhaps it's the whole brainwashing/cult/murder thing that trips people up. But people seem to forget that before Chuck was carving swastikas into his forehead, he was keeping himself busy as an struggling songwriter--even managing at one point to land a composition on a Beach Boys album.

Thanks in part to an abundance of spare time, Manson has managed to record another record, this time out bearing the typically ominous title, One Mind. The album is licensed under Creative Commons, meaning that anyone can share and remix the thing for non-commercial purposes.

The full record is available for free download via Limewire for the morbidly curious.

I think I'll pass on this one.
