What a marvelous site! I can just imagine the day when musicians can
add their URL, and, in addition to all the RadIO site provides, they
also upload the musician's file to www.archive.org in some sort of
pending section. Then, all the musician has to do, is go to that
section, and complete the account info. Now, all recordings on RadIO
can also be found in the repository.
I keep thinking creativecommons.org should be collaborating with sites
like RadIO and archive.org to provide artists with the help they need to
get set up.

well, i guess stuff like this:
http://opensrc.org/index.php?page=RadIO
has everyone on that list given explicit permission to be listed there?
doesn't this count as distribution? maybe it doesn't, but this is the
sort of thing i'm talking about. i don't know lots about copyright and
licensing, but a discussion of it is highly welcome. i mean, i highly
doubt anyone thinks RadIO is anything but useful to promoting their
music, but you never know ...

Yes, the issue is licensing here.

Until we make a decision not to accept non-CC submissions to the
list you
should assume that a piece is copyright the author and all rights
reserved unless explicitly licensed otherwise.
that is *always* assumed, whether a piece has been licensed or not.
copyright isn't really the issue here, is it? isn't it licensing ... ie
- how we are allowed to *use* the music, not who is creator or
intellectual "property" owner? i don't think by posting music to this list
that anyone is giving up
their copyright, but they *are* sort of saying "here is a public link to
some music i made, anyone can download it
Yes.
and distribute it".
No. If I wanted my stuff distributed, I would license it appropriately.
we are basically, through a sort of informal
contract, issuing stuff
under a
Creative Commons license every time we post our music here
That's an assumption on your part which I don't share. You have to
consciously accept a contract (i.e. sign it or =) in order for it to
be binding under British law (ANAL). I think you have to at least
shake hands in order for it even to be considered a 'gentleman's
agreement'.
- if we *weren't*, then we'd potentially
be exposing everyone on the
list to
breaking the law.
Really?!? I will be very careful about what I post on this list if
that _is_ the case. It would be good to clarify this.
