Attribution.
for radio station?
-straight after the track was played or prior the station would
mention the artist's song and website.
for a night club/event?
-the song/tittle/website might be on a list that was part of a ticket.
-songs might be on a website from the night.
-after or prior to each song the DJ would announce the song.
-after each song was played the creator/producer/writers of the songs
names might glow above the DJ's head.
for someone that sang someone else's song and recorded it?
-the performer could announce that this was someone's song with
website prior to singing the song, make it part of the recording.
Do you think a link from the license might suggest different ways to
attribute for different uses?
A problems with rights organizations (from the self publishers point
of view) is that the rights organizations give the venue/radio/club
the right to use content as they choose (at a cost), the user of
content is under no obligation to attribute the artist. If good
attribution conditions were attached to the license, self publishing
artists that are not commercial- might be more inclined to use a
creative commons license. Also: If an artist is not a member of a
rights organization- then the cafe/bar/radio station/non-profit
organization has no platform to use a song. A lot of songwriters
would like attribution attached to a song that included -a website
link/ tittle of the track/ performer and writer of songs name, maybe
even producers. Attribution can be a sensitive issue. Could
attribution conditions be built into the license, if the artist would
choose? Could a couple of different defaults exist? Is a default
possible with so many variables?
