> 4.                 Fourth, Professor Lawrence Lessig, the Chairman of
> Creative Commons, has requested for your help to raise money for
> Creative Commons through the annual Creative Commons Fund Raising
> Campaign through what has become known as the “Lessig
> Letters” (http://creativecommons.org/support/letters). His most recent
> one requests for you to watch Creative Commons videos on Revver and
> for every video that you watch, all advertisements revenue go to
> Creative Commons. Please do spread this information to your friends
> and encourage them to do the same. See Professor Lessig’s email
> below.

> I'm writing to tell you about something new Creative Commons has
> launched, and to ask for your help.
> 
> Starting this week, we've launched a cool new fundraising hack: We're
> the first nonprofit organization to raise money through online video
> sharing.
> 
> See http://creativecommons.org/support/videos
> 
> We've uploaded our short videos to Revver, a video-sharing platform
> that uses Creative Commons licenses to help creators make money from
> their work.
> 
> Revver attaches a short ad at the end of each video on its network.
> When a viewer clicks on the ad, Revver splits the resulting ad revenue
> with the video's creator. Usually, it's a 50/50 split, but Revver is
> generously giving Creative Commons 100% of the money our videos make
> through the end of our fundraising campaign on December 31, 2006.
> 
> So now we're in a big push to get as many people as we can to watch
> our Revverized videos (or help us spread them by embedding them on
> your blog, MySpace page, or Web site). Please check out the ads, and
> help Creative Commons get paid!
> 
> As part of this launch, we're premiering our latest video -- Wanna
> Work Together? -- which pays tribute to the people around the world 
> using CC licenses and CC-licensed content to build a better, more
> vibrant creative culture.
> 
> I'd be grateful for anything you can do to help us spread the word,
> and get as many people as possible to watch the videos.
> 
> Thanks for your help.
