Those who have been following the CC Case Studies wiki<http://wiki.creativecommons.org/casestudies> will be familiar with Ancient Free Gardeners<http://ancientfreegardeners.com/>, a Melbourne-based indie band who use CC licences to distribute their music<http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Ancient_Free_Gardeners>. We're very pleased to announce that AFG have released their new single, Innards Out<http://ancientfreegardeners.com/>, under a CC BY-NC-SA licence, which allows it to be freely distributed and even remixed. And they're getting quite a bit of attention from it.



Since their launch a couple of weeks ago they've been getting airplay on community radio, been promoted on a number of prominent music blogs<http://mp3hugger.com/2008/07/ancient-free-gardeners-innards-out.html>, and have even been interviewed about their decision. Most importantly, the single has been downloaded several thousand times from their website - they even had to upgrade their servers to cope with the demand. And they attribute a good part of this attention to the CC licensing.



So download the single<http://ancientfreegardeners.com/>, send it to your friends, remix it into a new piece. And if you like what you hear, go to a gig<http://ancientfreegardeners.com/?page_id=22> or buy an album<http://ancientfreegardeners.com/?page_id=17>. Watch this space for more news about competitions etc featuring the song.
