i'd really like to see this gain momentum:
A Better Way Forward: Voluntary Collective Licensing of Music File Sharing
http://www.eff.org/wp/better-way-forward-voluntary-collective-licensing-music-file-sharing
question: under collective licensing system, such as described in the
link, above, or systems such as ASCAP/BMI/SESAC, can an artist collect
fees for CC licensed works?
ok, that's a trick question... maybe...? i'm sure it depends on which
license and whether or not the use is commercial... and other factors?
i would think that any NC license would justify charging fees to
commercial airplay and such, but what about p2p? what about other license
types?
if the system proposed in the above link became reality, would CC licensed
works be ineligible to collect fees for p2p sharing?
under current systems such as ASCAP/BMI/SESAC, (which are primarily
commercial) how do the different licenses affect the ability to collect
fees?
is this something that needs to be addressed (fixed?) in the CC licenses?
thanks...
