Gilbert Gill, Creative Commons in Brazil

Gilberto Gil is one of my favorite Grammy Award-winning Brazilian singer, musician, and s Brazil’s Minister of Culture in the administration of President Luiz Inacio Lula de Silva (2003-2008). After becoming Minister, Gil began a partnership between Brazil and Creative Commons. He said, “You’ve now got young people who are becoming designers, who are making it into media and being use more and more television and samba schools and revitalizing degraded neighborhoods. It is a different version of the role of government, a new role.” He has expressed that will establish an Internet repository of freely downloadable Brazilian music. Since Gil’s appointment, the department’s expenditure has increased by over 50 percent.

Like him, few people who has a talent and a political influence goes to the front in the country. That’s all the more reason why Brazil is a advancing country that is not developed their economy, Gil might be able to keep going to CC activity. I believe that his partnership activity with CC is truly admirable endeavor in order to improve the new society, which is no gap between rich and poor, no border between counters.

Originally, the root of music must have been prayer or human nature, not must have been monetary substitute goods. I believe that the CC activity should spread over in the world, and the spread of excessive commercialism should be stopped by them.
