Thread Name: Copyright and Creative Commons licence
Subject: RE: Creative Commons
Hi all,
The situation which I find myself in is: I write a tune and play it somewhere. Another person hears the tune, likes it and asks for the music or permission to record my playing it. Now I could be churlish and say no, or I could say yes. I want my music to be heard e.g. in the local sessions and if someone wants to include it on a recording, then yes I want my share, but if the music is being played for pleasure and not profit, I still want it played. This is where I see the Creative Commons license coming in. The more a tune is played, the more likely it will get recorded, so CC seems to be part of the advertising. Back to you out there.
