#2My buddy Ryno - http://rynothebearded.com/ has a weekly podcast that focuses on music under a CC license. There are many great tunes available free of charge, and it's very strange that music falling under this license doesn't get more traction.

Thanks for sharing. The music presented is really good.

#4I was considering releasing some music under the CC SA-NC for exactly this purpose. I want people to share it, but I don't want it expoited without permission (which I'd gladly give, I just want to know by who).
To avoid the distribution issue, is it possible to use a CC licence for music downloaded from your website, while using a RR licence when providing to the distributors? (On the same song).
Any reason why the licence can't be dependent on the distribution channel?

If you own the material, you can choose as many different licenses as you want, for any reason you want. Some distributors may not be happy about this, though.

Or release a slightly different version over the distribution channels so two distinct works?

#7I kind of hope YouTube gets mad and tells those distros to eat shit.
Aside from rights management do these "distros" do ANYTHING anymore? And they are too lazy to do any rights management work that YouTube isn't performing semi- or fully-automatically?
YouTube should not allow them to simply be gate keepers.

#8Cc its really pretty nuanced you can have tunes you give away for free for people to enjoy but a commercial company would have to license it to use it in their film. I think CC Music is the future, not these crummy middle men services. Think about it, if you band is able to get shows where you have a $4,000 minimum per night off of "giving away" your music then you've won without having to sell a single song.

While we are sharing CC Music have a look at

if your tastes extend to classical. Classical artists have it easier as they can release a sound recording of a particular performance under the CC licence and then release another recording commercially. Leon Fleisher springs to mind.

An excellent podcast! Really highlights the number and diversity of indie artists distributing their works under the CC license.
