1. Larry Lessig
- Two coats - one tattered, the other torn - that he wore while talking about free culture around the world
- Lawrence Lessig is one of the original Free Culture heroes. Known for his work as an academic, writer, thinker and lawyer, he is also the founder of Creative Commons and still one of the leading thinkers in the field. His donation is a very special piece of the history of the free culture movement - and exactly the kind of artifact that says so much about the wearer and the places he wore them to.

3. Henrik Moltke - Double-plus-good DVD copy of Good Copy Bad Copy, autographed by the directors. - About Good Copy Bad Copy From boingboing: Good Copy, Bad Copy, [is] a stunning Danish documentary on remix culture and copyright, available as a free download. The film skips around the world, showing the changing attitudes toward art and culture in Nigeria, Sweden, Brazil, the UK, and the US, answering statements about incentives and creativity by the MPAA and IFPI by showing us real artists (like Danger Mouse and Girl Talk) making wonderful art that, according to the gangsters in the entertainment industry, no one will make without copyright.
The movie has a very light touch, and a lot of humor. This has been a banner year for copyright documentaries, but this is the best looking of the lot, with superb production values. This is a masterclass on the copyright wars crammed into 58 minutes of video -- a must-see.

4. Henrik Moltke - The last remaining bottle of FREE BEER ver 1.0 by Superflex. - FREE BEER is free in the truest sense of the word: it was created by applying modern free software / open source methods to a traditional real-world product - beer. Brewed to an Creative Commons lisenced recipie by students at the Copenhagen IT University and artist collective Superflex, this is the last bottle of the first batch of version 1.0 Free Beer. In the words of the Brazilian Minister of Culture, Gilberto Gil: "It's not just free beer, it's good beer!" (LINK: http://freebeer.org/blog/about/) - Pic: Y

BookMooch uses a points system for exchanging books, and members earn points by adding books to their inventories, sending books to other members and providing feedback when they receive books. The points earned can then be used to “buy” books from other members. All books “cost” the same number of points, with a small point surcharge for international mooches.
