Have I got this right?</p> <ol> <li>In MySong.MP3 file, ignore TCOP ID3 frame. Use WCOP &#38; WOAP instead. [Or, for backward-compatibility, should I also provide "verify at" in TCOP?] </li> <li>In MySong.MP3 file, put URL to desired Creative Commons license (e.g., "http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/us/") in WCOP frame. </li> <li>In MySong.MP3 file, put URL to MySong.MP3 file's official download page (e.g., "http://mysite.com/download/?SongID=7") in WOAP frame. </li> <li>On MySong.MP3 file's official download page (as before, "http://mysite.com/download/?SongID=7"), display license RDS (e.g., <code>&lt;span about=&quot;urn:sha1:MSMBC5VEUDLTC26UT5W7GZBAKZHCY2MD&quot;&gt;MySong.MP3 is licensed under &lt;a rel=&quot;license&quot; href=&quot;http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/&quot;&gt;CC BY 3.0&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;</code> </li> </ol> <p>Will this get MySong.MP3 indexed properly? Is it okay to hide the RDS code from view of the visitor or is it recommended it stay visible for end-user verification of the file?</p> <p>I apologize if these are dumb questions, but I need to get this right before turning things loose.</p> <p>Any advice is greatly appreciated. </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/62#post-155 Thu, 18 Sep 2008 16:20:16 +0000 lb1 155@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>How do they do it? Put out the music under CC BY-NC-ND on MP3, and on the physical CD object-- which they do not want copied in 44.1 khz, they... ? And it isn't really that the 44.1 khz not be copied and distributed, more that the entire physical CD could be replicated and given away if someone wanted to do so, and it would be great to allow people free MP3s but try to retain a bit of control and income stream from the CD at higher quality.<br /> The CC community mailing lists do not cross pollinate with these message boards? </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/62#post-144 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 18:18:29 +0000 mlinksva 144@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>AFAIK this is exactly what <a href="http://magnatune.com" rel="nofollow">http://magnatune.com</a> does, except they release MP3s under BY-NC-SA rather than BY-NC-ND. I believe there have been long debates on the cc-community mailing list about how exactly that might play out legally in various parts of the world, as far as I know inconclusively. </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/62#post-139 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 05:21:54 +0000 lb1 139@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>I am planning on releasing an album of music under a Creative Commons by-nc-nd license in MP3 format. I would like people to distribute the work, provide credit, non-commercially, and contact me if they would like to create derivative works. However, I am also planning on selling the album on CD at a much higher sound quality-- 16-bit 44.1khz stereo as opposed to MP3, for those who would actually like to hear what it sounds like sonically. I am thinking that I might prefer that people not distribute this higher quality format as per the terms of the CC by-nc-nd license, and hold on fully to those copyrights-- but they can still distribute the MP3s all they want.<br /> This is somewhat of a conundrum...? Distribute the MP3s under CC while copyrighting the 44.1khz version? I am not sure how to proceed, and am mostly bemused by my ability to create such slippery situations for myself. It raises some interesting issues-- or perhaps this already has been addressed in some capacity. </p>
