I was just reading through the noncommercial guidelines and wanted to
get some opinions about B (3) of the best practice guidelines.

 

Here is what it says:

B. Nature of the use: Advertising

(3) Is the NC-licensed work being used in connection with advertisements
for third

party products or services where the NC-licensed work is the primary
draw or a is

substantial amount, both qualitatively and quantitatively?

(i) Yes - license violation; this is not a noncommercial use.

(ii) No. Continue to the next question.

 

I am a big fan of CC: 365
(http://indieish.com/category/features/creative-commons-three-sixty-five
/). Basically, it is a site where a new song is posted (almost) everyday
with a little blurb about the artist. The site has a ton of banner ads
on it though. I was curious if anyone thought this was a violation of
the noncommercial clause in the CC license or if this is acceptable.
