Earlier quoted context omitted.

But Creative Commons doesn't permit the use of the art past marketing. Not allowed to include it in the actual project for instance. Do I have that right?

CC can be great for a lot of things. The biggest issue is that many people require attribution which can be tricky depending on the project. But there are some good options for CC that work well.

Just curious, which kinds of projects make attribution difficult? The worst I can come up with is that you'd have to include it in the small print at the bottom of an ad. Most other things (software, videos, websites) will have a more discreet place to shove all your credits.

In general, I think CC-BY is fantastic. CC-BY-SA is typically useless for anything except open source projects.

Awesome effort and always great to see Atlanta on HN! Thanks so much for sharing this, can't wait to pick it up and give it a try. The demo was one of the best presentations I've seen in a while.

Minor nit - I went to check who was behind it and the https link in the footer hangs, http://dunktank.co works fine though

Neat. The license terms make it difficult/impossible to use for something created by a business, or other kind of team, rather than a single individual: > The maximum number of users of this sound effects library is limited to ONE. It is unlawful to distribute any of the audio files to ANY ADDITIONAL USERS. This license allows ONE individual... So... if a company (or university department, or non-profit entity, or sm…

The license is designed to work like a font or stock photo license. It's allows for a specific user individual or within a company to use the sounds for as many projects as they'd like.

From my experience this is typical for most licenses on most royalty free items. The same type of license can be found at sites like Shutterstock at the Boom Library that another user mentioned in the comments.

It's just the nature of the business. I believe the prices are fair for the quantity and unlimited project use. But it wouldn't be fair to just then share all of them with as many people as you had in an organization.

We just fixed the link. Thanks for catching this!

Very slick. I would definitely use this if I had a need for it beyond changing the default notifications on my phone/desktop. One suggestion, I think the those little 'devices' are the perfect way to demonstrate why I would want this, but it wasn't immediately obvious to me that they were interactive at all. A unique color or subtle animation for the play buttons to make them eye-catching might be worthwhile since cl…

Great feedback. We'll look into making it more clear for future visitors.

A question for the group here, would a per project license be preferred over a per user license?

Per project licensing seems pretty fair to me.

I'd strongly prefer per-user, but maybe you could allow the choice at time of purchase?
