Wired Releases Creative Commons Sampling CD

Posted by timothy on from the mash-with-garlic-and-basil dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In this month's issue of Wired Magazine, there is an included CD featuring songs from The Beastie Boys, David Byrne, among others. The unique thing about the CD is that all of the tracks are released under Creative Commons Licences, making them legal to share."

    MPAA is Motion Picture Association of America, has nothing to do with music, I believe.

    They don't have much to do with movies either. Just with suing people.

    I'm confused, what else are "Associations of America" supposed to do besides sue people?

    Isn't that our national business?

    No!

    That would be reality shows!

    But hush! That's all only until the hairdressers and telephone sanitizers take over.

    It'll be a cold day in hell when I buy Wired.

    Bad timing for you then. Reports are that hell froze over last year when Apple released iTunes for Windows.

    Too bad the CD wasn't available then. Maybe with all this weird weather we're having, who knows?
