[pd-discuss] CC-zero for vimeo, soundcloud & co

Fri Jun 14 08:56:35 UTC 2013

Dear all,

I would indeed be an idea to contact Parker Higgins to ask him if he can direct us towards a specific contact inside of SoundCloud HQ. Does anyone have his current contact details? I only have his (old) SoundCloud address. 

Best,

Maarten
