Common network brings DRM-free Tunes, iPod video Flix, more

This CommonMedia network looks pretty slick: they feature a unique take on aggregating political content and news with a slogan like "Del.icio.us + Google News = CommonTimes.org". What's more, they also have directories and stores for DRM-free music and video content, at CommonTunes.org and CommonFlix.org, including iPod video-ready content. They allow you to link to stuff you find and upload your own content to sell – how cool is that? Looks like all this is possible through the beauty of BitTorrent. To help new users get their feet wet, they organize content into handy sections like Most Emailed, Top Sellers, Highest Rated and Popular Searches. To top off the community aspect, you can leave comments and reviews on content.

One of my first assumptions when I saw these sites is that they're using Creative Commons licensing, but I'm not finding any evidence of that. Either way, this looks like a slick idea, I really hope it takes off.
