I'd prefer to get in contact with netlabels to remove the non-commercial clause from their releases. ;) > yes, public performance in a commercial setting (where you get paid) But I will only get, I guess, below 50 Euro for a night there. :( And of course free drinks. Free as in beer. But I know, non-commercial or not doesn't depend on the amount of money you "make". When dj-ing vinyl it was interesting to note, that several of the german electronic 12-inch labels intentionally asked their artists, that they released their music "GEMA-free". GEMA is a German copyright asociation for music, which collects money from DJs, radios, dance bands etc. and distributes it to musicans and composers. Well, with those GEMA-free techno 12"es all you had to do to be allowed to play a dance track in a club was to buy that vinyl. After that you wouldn't have to ask if you're allowed to DJ these tracks, this was the self-evident thing to do with a 12". It seems to me, that netlabels today miss something important, the elders did know, when they now release under a "free" (beer) CC license, that turns out to be not free enought to allow hobby dj's to play their tracks. But I wonder, if this section here: "You may not exercise any of the rights granted to You in Section 3 above in any manner that is primarily intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or private monetary compensation." could be used to my advantage: I don't "primarily intend" to make money by playing netaudio in public. I have a day job and such, this is a hobby. (Still, staying up all night in a smoke-filled room and such *is* work, as well). > is commercial use. the net audio project sounds like more of a grey > area. but take heart - not all of us Creative Commons advocates use > the non-commercial license. i license my work with the CC equivalent > of Libre licensing - the Attribution-Share-Alike license - which > permits commercial copying. i dont know if my strange psychic > soundscapes are quite what you're after though ;)... I could very well be: I intend to play experimental stuff, which isn't played that much by other DJs. (It's more a pub setting I'm directing at, not actually a club). Ah, what the heck: As no-one knows the tracks I'm gonna play I may as well just use Pd to create noise myself and tell the audience, that this was some hip Korean underground stuff originally released on cassette tape 1987. ;) ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__
