  2. No problem! Hopefully some people will enjoy it and send some money your way!

    I'd also be curious as to why you use the -NC license and not http://creativecommons.org/licenses/sampling+/1.0/

    If you'd like, we *might* be able to do a full Skype interview and discuss that issue and plenty of other music-related topics. I'll have to talk to Tom about that, but let us know if you're interested.

  3. Actually I've been thinking of moving to a cc-by-sa for the next release. Not really considered the sampling +1.0. I guess I should check that out.

    It's funny you should mention skype, I've just this minute set up an account, so I'm sure we could easily do an interview if you want. Cheers.

  4. Well, I'd personally be in favor of BY-SA. That's what we use.

    Sampling+ allows non-commercial regular use and commercial sampling, meaning if someone remixes in a significant manner and wants to sell CDs with their remix, they are within their rights. Most people interested in free culture (and not just exploiting creative commons sites such as Jamendo) would be cool with that, I think. I am clearly not suggesting that the -NC implies exploitation, but as Tom and I have discussed at length, there are a lot of misconceptions and ambiguity about the -NC license.

    In the US, you get some protection against corporations exploiting your work, even if you do use a license that allows commercial reuse. Not sure how it works in the UK.

    I'd encourage you to check out this podcast before making a decision on a license: http://www.softwarefreedom.org/podcast/2009/nov/10/0x1A/

    Tom and I talk about it some, but we are definitely not experts, so that's why I'm sending you there. :)

  6. Thanks for the link. Interesting podcast, listend to it this morning on the way to work. Unfortunatly while they talk at length about the disadvantages of an 'nd' licence, they don't really discuss the beifits of not using an 'nc' at all. Maybe you guys could do a show about it. It's easy to find out info about what the different cc licences mean, but I have found it difficult to find discussion on what the beifit of using less restrictive licences are with regard to music. Without this stuff being discussed in forums where the average netlabel artist is likely to come across it, I think there is a tendancy by musicians releasing stuff on netlabels etc. to use the by-nc-nd by default.
