It also spawned an idea.
How about CC licensing music, but
not right away.
Wait a couple of years or however long you want. It's similar to a
reduced copyright expiration time. After a duration you decide on you
just say: "Hey it's free, listen to my music, share it!".
This would be beneficial for a lot of reasons. As advertising for the
artist, sharable cultural good for the public, as means of reducing
illegal replication. I merely guess that a lot of the illegally copied
music is actually pretty old and should IMHO be a shareable public good.
I think the same thing sometimes. The copyrighted music I download is
all stuff that's been around for some time, and I don't see anything
wrong about that, but at the same time I can understand why artists
might not want to take a completely anti-copyright stand. I would like
to see scientific journals and serious periodicals like the New
Scientist distributed like this, for example - they could make their
money selling to the people who want the latest news right now, but
after some time, they would become a resource for everyone to use.
