Bonjour à tous,

Je viens vers vous car je viens de recevoir un mail d'un gérant de label
qui me félicite pour la sortie d'un EP mais me reproche d'avoir opté pour le CC.

Voici l'échange qu'on a eu (ce que je lui dit en bleu, ses réponses en noir) :

> I'm not sure to understand your question about our choice of CC
> licence.
> Are you for or against?

OK, its good in some cases.. but really.. I don't understand why
musicians give their music for free, specially also because anything
released under CC license is incompatible with the typical music
publishing scenarios, this means you get no royalties at all from
streaming or radios, and the worst is.. you will never get a synch
licensing deal. (your music on TV shows, advertising, film, videogames)
in a few words, you loose all rights, its free and the professional
music industry thinks CC = amateur, you figure out why.. its quite easy
to get... and you cant change the license once you made your choice :)=

> This choice was made because we are for CC but we didn't work alone,

How, is it not protected if you just write: Lyrics by **** ?

well thats a REALLY shitty deal, I agree.

After publishing redux, Bleepstreet gets 75% from distributor
(and we split that 50/50 with artist) :)

> What do you think about CC no derivative no commercial licence?

not good :) I guess I made my point -> publishing!!!!!!!

Comme vous pouvez le constater, j'étais un peu étonnée et donc à court d'arguments.
Je sais pourquoi j'ai choisi CC mais je peine à l'expliquer avec des arguments solides.
Pouvez vous m'aider?

Merci beaucoup.
