If they do that and suddenly a cover of one of their songs breaks through, they won't see a penny of it.
This is false. The CC BY 4.0 International license *requires* any derivative works, covers, etc. to attribute the original artist. Not attributing the original artist is basis for legal action. This ensures whoever did the hard work creating the song someone else may be covering gets their spotlight as well. For example, people who hear a cover by some famous person will likely want to check out the original song. This is exposure. Exposure is the first step in someone becoming a fan and purchasing your music.
Creative Commons licensing doesn't take away copyright from the rightful owner(s). It enhances their potential for distribution in the digital age.
I would expect a massive crowdfunding campaign would cover any legal costs if the "rights enforcement goons" tried to sue someone for using CC BY redistributable music. The first case would (if it hasn't already been done anyway) form a stare decisis.
I would assume other (i.e. non-CC but cleared by copyright holder) music would be more difficult since there is not as much legal evidence to go off of as CC licensed music but definitely the public would be behind them as long as there is enough evidence to prove it was in fact legitimate. IANAL btw.
Artists need to hop on the CC bandwagon. Things have changed drastically since the music industry started strangling them as well as consumers.
If we had a sizable pool of popular CC licensed music, this kind of thing would be less of an issue because establishments like this could simply use it instead. There are tons of new ways for artists to get paid via CC licensed music. Maybe we can brainstorm on ideas and models for this to become a reality? I'm thinking some sort of croudfunding model might be a good first step.
"Yeah, you're just going to have to sit in the sweltering heat during summer school until ThunderfuckThor69 sends us the PSU we need for a 30 year old computer made by a company very few of you have ever heard of."
Uhm, or if the administration has a half a brain between all of them, they order a set (or two, or three) of replacement parts BEFORE they fail.
I have 3 replacement Palm Tungsten Cs sitting, waiting for my primary to die. I'm not stupid enough to wait for something I rely on so heavily, that's THAT old, without having backups sitting around.
We've come a long way since wax cylinders. But right now we're having growing pains. Everyone wants a piece of the digital streaming pie. The thing is that everyone also wants to lock you in.
Streaming needs to be more open. The music itself needs to be separated from the service. I don't want to feel like I'm making a lifelong commitment by investing in streaming purchases, building playlists, etc.
Through Pandora, Spotify, iTunes, Google Music, Amazon, and whatever else is out there..I've stuck to my own offline music collection - it's much more portable (like others have stated already). If a company wants to start a streaming service they need to provide something of value other than the music itself. The "industry" is tired and old and proprietary and the rest of the world is sick of it, including artists. I have a strong feeling Creative Commons is going to be the rebel yell of the very close future. Artists don't want to sign contracts because they're keen to the fact that they're never going to be as rich and famous as they think - they're just going to tour for years to pay off the debt they've accrued for the "privilege" of being promoted by a big label.
All artists want (and have ever wanted since the beginning of music) is to know that they have made a positive impact on other peoples' lives with their craft. Making a living from it has always been secondary to true musicians. This is more possible and accessible with the Internet.
SO! Streaming services are currently acting as big labels. People have already bypassed labels. So all of this is pretty moot to me. So instead, I am investing my time into a project that will provide value to people aside from rehashing the whole 'buy the White album again' scenario which has already infested streaming services' business models. It's new and exciting and something nobody has done before with music online.
Thank you. I was about to post asking how anything even remotely like this legal. What's next, monitor students by GPS on their phones, in and out of school, to "ensure their safety"?
Can anyone tell me where one can check to see how and where these vaccinations are filled? I think it's only fair to know what is being pumped into my offspring (and what checks and balances are in place to ensure no tampering or contamination), especially now that it will be a requirement for them to attend public schools.
I'm really not even qualified to put this out there, but could it be all of the REALLY HOT radioactive material from Fukushima making its way to the US West coast?
Obviously the term "sacred geometry" is debatable...
"According to Stephen Skinner, the study of sacred geometry has its roots in the study of nature, and the mathematical principles at work therein.[3] Many forms observed in nature can be related to geometry, for example, the chambered nautilus grows at a constant rate and so its shell forms a logarithmic spiral to accommodate that growth without changing shape. Also, honeybees construct hexagonal cells to hold their honey. These and other correspondences are sometimes interpreted in terms of sacred geometry and considered to be further proof of the natural significance of geometric forms." (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S... )
You said, Nature follows the rules of mathematics.. NOT sacred geometry.
I am giving the example in which nature follows sacred geometry (the Fib. sequence is related to sacred geometry, as in the Golden Ratio). No doubt sacred geometry is considered part of "mathematics". It's ok, I'll just assume you haven't had your coffee yet.;)
At first I was completely astonished that yet another (seemingly) natural phenomenon is related to the Golden Mean. It was a major epiphany in my mid-20's how nature follows the rule of irrationality, which still follows a pattern, and not simply rational numbers. It's sacred geometry in action.
The more I read, the more I realised that this is 'just another' verification of what I realized about nature and our universe. It's everywhere.. the design of snail shells, seashells, seed patterns in Sunflowers and so many other plant formations, spiral galaxy formations (Fibonacci spiral!), and now star illumination patterns. It's everywhere. It's a key to helping understand the nature of reality. Thanks for posting this!
The golden ratio is connected to the Fibonacci sequence
Thanks, I was about to say the same thing =p
So I'm kind of surprised that this is thought of as coming from extraterrestial intelligence at all.
That's what got me so excited, but then I realized it was just another manifestation of what already occurs in our universe all the time (golden mean, Fibonacci sequence). Doesn't rule out that ETs are using it for communication though - it's obviously caught OUR attention and interest, no?;)
The biggest issue with malware is that people don't understand the scope of the network their computer is hooked up to. If people just realized for a second that connecting your computer to the Internet is the equivelant of walking into a room with about 3 billion other people in it, then you'd be a wee-bit more conscious about what you do and who you trust.

IANAL.
Creative Commons is a legally sound license. Unless you don't have the guts to stand up to a bully, you have nothing to worry about.

50% of BMI fees go to the songwriters
*Which* songwriters is the real question.

Most users who need to be admins are software engineers
Or want to configure a new printer.
Or disable/enable a wireless adapter.
Or defrag their hard disk.
Illegal on so many levels.

Oh, my first love interest.. Her and Jenny Garth. Thanks, Seth!
Ide like attractive women to jump me in the street.
Fair enough. Now just make sure you are as "attractive" in her eyes as she is in yours.
Actually, the golden rule is, 'Treat others the way you would want to be treated yourself'.
Think about that in context.
I wonder what (if any) effect subsurface ocean waves have for life here on Earth, either directly or indirectly via effecting the Earth-moon system?
Don't worry, I'll store them in separate folders so they don't know about each other.
Don't forget to remove the "Everyone" group permissions.
Funny, the most interesting part of this story was the mention of his Palm Pilot. /me wonders what model it was.
And to answer your question, yes I still use a Palm Pilot.
I'm really not even qualified to put this out there, but could it be all of the REALLY HOT radioactive material from Fukushima making its way to the US West coast?
Or maybe underwater volcanic activity?
Or maybe your mom taking a bath? Oooooh, burn.
Sooner or later, they'll wake up to the fact that they're being subjugated, manipulated, and forced to live in poverty. "
Funny how substituting North Korea for other large nations of the world can still make the above sentence seem very relevant.
NK is definitely bad, but it's not the only one. Maybe just the most obvious.

If so, explain the Fibonacci sequence occurring in nature..?

I can't think of a single instance when something being FSF-compliant matters at all
Except for ones own piece of mind, of course. Which I guess doesn't matter.
