Grants/Patamu.com

Describe the project you are proposing as clearly as possible in just five sentences.

Patamu is a site that provides free and instantaneous timestamping and storage of art works (such as music) and of any creative work in general. It is intended for musicians, photographers, writers, poets, artists, journalists, bloggers or researchers, to help them diffuse their works protecting themselves from plagiarizing. The release of the protected works in a Creative Commons license is highly encouraged in our site. Patamu would like to follow a Business Ethics model, offering an useful and complete free service for the low-level user, and a premium service for professional users. Patamu seems to be one of the first sites in italy and in europe to provide this kind of service. Also the development of a blog containing informations about creative commons, the free culture world, and royalties collecting companies is planned, to provide users with a strong know how to pursue the diffusion of art and culture.

Detail the tangible project output (e.g., paper, blog post, written materials, video/film, etc.; this would be in addition to the final written report that successful grant recipients will be expected to deliver to CC at the conclusion of the project).
