The Maine music scene…is it ready for Creative Commons Licensing?
Music — mGee @ 1:16 pm
An article I wrote, extolling the virtues of Creative Commons licensing has just been published on the Portland Press Herald’s NXT blog. Here’s an excerpt:
Each month when preparing the next compilation for the website I run, I scour the internet for shining examples of music that’s released under a Creative Commons license. I always find plenty of excellent music from all over the world that meets that criteria. Each time I look for these musical gems, I quietly hope that one of the artists I discover will be from my home state of Maine (there’s nothing I’d love to do more than to promote bands from here). Alas, after 18 of these compilations, I’ve yet to find one Maine music artist utilizing this important tool that’s so easily at their disposal.
