But a thanks from me, I didn't know of it. Very interesting, even the comments are in a way, as they display different points of view. It also spawned an idea. How about CC licensing music, but not right away. Wait a couple of years or however long you want. It's similar to a reduced copyright expiration time. After a duration you decide on you just say: "Hey it's free, listen to my music, share it!". This would be beneficial for a lot of reasons. As advertising for the artist, sharable cultural good for the public, as means of reducing illegal replication. I merely guess that a lot of the illegally copied music is actually pretty old and should IMHO be a shareable public good.
I think the same thing sometimes. The copyrighted music I download is all stuff that's been around for some time, and I don't see anything wrong about that, but at the same time I can understand why artists might not want to take a completely anti-copyright stand. I would like to see scientific journals and serious periodicals like the New Scientist distributed like this, for example - they could make their money selling to the people who want the latest news right now, but after some time, they would become a resource for everyone to use.
