Hi,

I've just subscribed to the discussion and i was wondering if I could get an 
update on where CC licences for Australia are currently up to and how i might 
be involved. The archives are looking pretty sparse.

I am a writer/author of musical works that is interested in using Creative 
Commons licences to distribute music. In particular i am wondering if i can 
use Creative Commons to reserve 'some rights' on our CD publication which 
will be released in August. The idea is to allow people who buy the CD to 
legally do what they will do anyway, burn the cd for their friends, rip it to 
MP3 and P2P fileshare it. We are not against such activity but would also 
release the CD commercially through an exclusive licence with our publishing 
agent. If anyone has any advice about that scenario it would be greatly 
appreciated.

cheers,
Damian Lewis
