Radiohead Open Sources Music Video 120
ruphus13 writes "Following up their 'pay what you like' music album, Radiohead is once again pushing forward with trying to innovate in an industry that has typically innovated with lawsuits alone. Radiohead has now decided to open source a music video. According to the article, 'Its new single "House of Cards" has a video that was created using advanced visualization techniques and various computer-rendered models. The band has teamed up with Google to release the data for the promo as open source using a Creative Commons license.'" The article links a making-of video on YouTube. The music of "House of Cards" was not open sourced, just the visual data. according to a story in the UK Guardian, people are beginning to play around with the data.

Found this:
"The CSV data files are released as follows:
* Copyright 2008 Radiohead.
* Some Rights Reserved: Data used to produce the House of Cards music video
* is made available under the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 License"
Not open Source folks... at least not like the open source according to the OSD.
all the best,

The video + making of + data explorer. Note, it can take a while for the data explorer to finish loading the video, but it's pretty fun to play with.
