Hello RafaÅ,

Properly licensed: CC or any other licence that allows for redistribution without prior consent. Easily available: direct links to music files or embedded players (like SoundCloud, Jamendo or even YouTube). So no RapidShare, SendSpace or similar services.

Best,

Why so restrictive, why not include full (C) Copyright All Rights Reserved stuff?

Putting it on another website, torrenting, emailing it, transferring it to other people's drives etc would be distributing without the copyright holder's permission (assuming it hasn't been explicity given).

If all you're doing is providing a link to something somewhere on the web, that's not distributing in contravention of the licence as far as I know and just linking to it seems to be fine in many countries.

I suppose ultimately, it's your wording I object to -- copyright includes a proper licence, just a more restrictive one than the Creative Commons copyright licences.

Linux, and Linux audio, users are a diverse group and not all of us subscribe to the "everything should be totally free for anyone to do anything they like with it" thinking and it can be a bit alienating to be treated as if it were a homogeneous group.

Also, you could end up overlooking a lot of good music by not using full copyrighted works. Wouldn't quality or interest (however you personally judge those) be better criteria for inclusion?
