    just a quick question - and if it’s already been answered somewhere else, I have to apologize.

    Situation:

    - original song A is remixed into remix B

    - and then somebody remixes B into remix C from parts which are clearly derivatives of A (or even just purely from A).

    - somebody makes a video D featuring remix B

    Should C give attribution to A and B, or just to B?

    Should D attribute both A and B, or just B?

    Thanks in advance!

    I'd guess that C and D should each attribute both A and B. However, IANAL, this is not legal advice, etc.

    You might want to check out the following portion of 4(b) from http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode

    in the case of an Adaptation, a credit identifying the use of the Work in the Adaptation (e.g., "French translation of the Work by Original Author," or "Screenplay based on original Work by Original Author"). The credit required by this Section 4 (b) may be implemented in any reasonable manner; provided, however, that in the case of a Adaptation or Collection, at a minimum such credit will appear, if a credit for all contributing authors of the Adaptation or Collection appears, then as part of these credits and in a manner at least as prominent as the credits for the other contributing authors.

    Note that "reasonable manner" needs to be very flexible -- the legal requirement needs to work in any medium a copyrightable (and thus licensable) work might be conveyed in.

    So the question is:

    Is this page:

    http://ccmixter.org/files/oldDog/14019

    in violation of CC license? Note that you have to click through the 'Uses samples from' links to find sources of the sources.

    Next question is, if a someone on YouTube uses the oldDog's remix and says:

    Music by oldDog Licensed under Creative Commons Noncommercial Sampling Plus
    http://ccmixter.org/files/oldDog/14019

    Is that a violation of the CC license?
