Thomas and Doug go through the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license line-by-line, pointing out anything they think is important. Given the length of the document, this show runs about twice as long as normal.



As of the moment, most of our show notes (below the fold) are just the license text because we thought commentary interspersed with the text would be confusing. This way you can easily follow along and understand when we are reading the text and when we are commenting on it. We can always go back and add more links or commentary, so if you think that would be useful, please let us know.

If you'd like us to go over ShareAlike (SA), Non-Commercial (NC), or No Derivatives (ND), please leave a comment or getting in touch via our audio feedback line, social media, or email. If you have any idea for a show, please let us know!


Next month: Band Agreements.

In August, we plan to discuss non-profits in music.
In September, we plan to discuss collection societies.

Drinks of the Month:

To the extent you want us to cover aspects of international law, contract law, and copyright law, please let us know.

It’s also worth noting that even though
