Buck Bunny and the Creative Commons

Last evening, I continued my work on a presentation that will be shared by my brother Tom to assist artists in learning about how to leverage Web 2.0 technologies. This mashup of Buck Bunny is part of that presentation, and I thought I'd share it here to highlight the benefits of licensing your work with Creative Commons.
