Re: CC license for Stretched Landscape Remixes?

[Per Boysen <perboysen@gmail.com>]

I don't know about Germany, but at least here in Sweden one bad side
effects of releasing work under a CC license is that you lose out on
all compensation otherwise paid to the composer when music is
broadcast over public service radio. That may be a considerable loss
of income.

The point in releasing work under a CC license is to make the control
of who will be allowed to use your work and in what way more of an
automatic function built into the work itself - rather than forcing
everyone that might want to use your work to contact you for a
permission, as the traditional legal rights state. One effect of a CC
license can be that more people may use your work around the world,
especially in low (or "no") budget situations as art school student
projects.

There are also some quite effective business models licensing CC music
for a few, one example being Magnatune.

Bottom line: Go to Creative Commons web page and read up. Then think
about your PRO, the legal system in your area and your future plans.
Do the math and see what gives. This should lead you at leas in the
direction of the best decision :-)
