A DIY political commentary site

An important new site went live today called p2p-Politics.org. I'd heard about it Friday at the Internet Archive.

The site, a cooperative venture of the Archive and Creative Commons, lets individuals post video spots for or against the presidential candidates.

So far, scores of clips supporting John Kerry (thanks, in part, to all those "Bush in 30 Seconds" MoveOn ads) and no pro-Bush or pro-Nader spots. Congrats to J. Christopher Garcia and Aaron Swartz for the programming magic and to Larry Lessig and Brewster Kahle for brainstorming the site. Larry has more here.
