Well, I'm pretty obsessed with the band, Nine Inch Nails. They released an album called Ghosts I-IV in March 2008 which consisted of 36 tracks, all being instrumental.
The album was released under a Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike license, so the band has encouraged fans to remix the music and share it with other fans. There is even on online community that is part of NIN.com where fans can download some multi-track files to get started mixing, as well as upload their finished work for all to hear.
Another great thing the band has started is a Film Festival in which they asked fans to make short films based on a track off the album. The film festival is taking place on YouTube and there is no deadline for submission.
Great music and interesting film? You can't get much better!
Here's a link to the Ghosts I-IV official page.

Alessandra, this is a really interesting post. It deals with what we will talk about in the next class concerning property and ownership in our digital culture. This is a really great project from NIN, and if you haven't already, I encourage you to explore the creative commons website:
