But again, I am not a lawyer and this is not a place to get legal advice.</p> <p>How would you best make an agreement? Start by emailing the relevant artist.</p> <p>And/or start by getting advice from your lawyer. :) </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/18#post-38 Fri, 06 Jun 2008 22:06:00 +0000 question 38@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>if i see putting content on myspace as being a commercial use?</p> <p>how best i make an agreement with another artist? </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/18#post-37 Fri, 06 Jun 2008 20:13:21 +0000 mlinksva 37@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>What do you need to do, you mean in order to post the track to another site (eg myspace) under the track's CC license? </p> <p>You should link to the track's home page on ccMixter, state the artist and track name and the license you are using it under. </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/18#post-36 Fri, 06 Jun 2008 17:45:14 +0000 question 36@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>this question was on the CCmixter. <a href="http://ccmixter.org/thread/633" rel="nofollow">http://ccmixter.org/thread/633</a></p> <p>ok..<br /> i’m still not shure if i’m on the right spot, but anyway.<br /> did a little remix for the Noite de Carnaval-Cibelle remix-contest.<br /> I want to put my remix on a myspace-page, so..what do I need to do?</p> <p>can i copy and paste questions i find in other places? </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/16#post-34 Fri, 06 Jun 2008 03:12:03 +0000 mlinksva 34@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>100/3500 is a pretty good action rate. Way better than anyone could expect from direct mail or an email campaign. Maybe there is something to social networking...</p> <p>There's a CC HQ profile at <a href="http://www.myspace.com/creativecommons" rel="nofollow">http://www.myspace.com/creativecommons</a> </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/16#post-33 Thu, 05 Jun 2008 11:58:25 +0000 jam 33@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>About 8 months ago I started to send out friends requests to music artists based in Australia via myspace- letting artists know about creative commons and the license conflict with APRA (australian performing rights organization).</p> <p>myspace link <a href="http://www.myspace.com/optoutofapra" rel="nofollow">http://www.myspace.com/optoutofapra</a><br /> weblink <a href="http://www.optapra.net" rel="nofollow">http://www.optapra.net</a></p> <p>Around 3500 bands around australia accepted friends request, of these artists over 100 have written "i support reforms for APRA".</p> <p>If anyone wants to help with this or maybe start one for another country please say so here. </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/12#post-23 Tue, 03 Jun 2008 19:10:34 +0000 mlinksva 23@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>Hi Jamison,</p> <p>I wish I knew the answers to your questions ... hopefully some people who know the music industry will come along and weigh in.</p> <p>Others, if you're interested in this stuff, there are some responses to a similar post from Jamison over on the ccMixter forums, see <a href="http://ccmixter.org/thread/1491" rel="nofollow">http://ccmixter.org/thread/1491</a> </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/12#post-22 Tue, 03 Jun 2008 15:33:30 +0000 jam 22@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>I’m very interested in doing my next release through the CCmixter, i’m a little confused though.</p> <p>thoughts: I noticed that Calender girl has released her remixes on CDbaby with their digital partners. This means that the remixes are available through i-tunes and all the regular DRM stores. how are these commercial revenues going to be distributed to those that contributed to the remixes if they are not members of a rights organization. i know its only a couple of cents most likely, yet is it important to have these things sorted out within the mixter?</p> <p>has ccmixter worked out a deal with CDbaby? has calender girl worked out a deal with each remixer and CC mixter? what of the commercial rights to the sounds within the mixter?</p> <p>what i would like to do with my next recording i release is possibly this: i would give my songs to the CCmixter under a CC BY license. then i would like to buy the right not to have to attribute the artist and use the sounds within the recording and be able to do as i choose with the song, yet at the same time not limit the artist to release the recording they used with the song.</p> <p>when a song is published through the rights organizations, the song is divided up into 2 parts. melody and words. technically a songwriter is able to release a recording and claim all publishing rights to the recording mixed on CC mixter under this system. i don’t really think this is fair, as the re-mixers have not been paid. unless the artist that is releasing the recording sets up a publishing company and distributes fairly. what is the result? would it not be best for CC mixter to have a publishing arm?</p> <p>i’m keen to know how CC mixter is dealing with these issues? even when an artist puts a remix licensed with a non-commercial license on myspace, they are technically in violation of NC conditions (from some aspects). Myspace take the artists rights and gain advertising revenue.</p> <p>ASCAP is the only rights organization that allows foreign artists deal with their rights as they choose. ASCAP divides royalties into 50 percent publisher and 50 percent artist.</p> <p>I noticed that Calender girl is a member of member of PRS (Performing Right Society) in the UK. UK rights organizations do not allow the use of creative commons licenses.</p> <p>Its possible for artists of most rights organizations to transfer their membership to ascap.</p> <p>if artists that released through the mixtr commercially were asked to transfer membership to a rights organization that allowed the use of creative commons licenses, this would bring attention to the issue of artists rights.<br /> <a href="http://www.iarts.CC" rel="nofollow">http://www.iarts.CC</a> </p>
