OpenCulture.org — About (Wayback snapshot)

“OpenCulture is a new way to make books and music freely available online, while making sure that artists get fairly compensated. Using the Internet to let sponsors pool their resources, we purchase the right to enjoy and redistribute works of art on behalf of the public. Art should be free. Artists should be paid.”
