A few general questions
about cc-licences:
I am writing for an online-independent-movie
magazine.
Many independent filmmakers are shooting their
movies without any intend to sell them afterwards, or to gain money from them.
Unfortunately it is not legal anyway to use "all rights reserved" music (without
having the rights, which are for non-profit productions unaffordable)
for your movie as soon as you only screen it publicly, even if
you're not gaining anything from that.
If I understand the licences correctly, if the
music is issued under the "noncommercial-cc-licence" (or "Attribution", but
that is clear anyway) there should be no legal problem, screening the movie in
public as long as you don't gain money from it.
To me the more important questions
are:
1. Is the including of a piece of music in a movie
a derivation of the original work even if the work is left
untouched?
2. If the music is issued under
noncommercial-license, is it legal to enter festival-competitions with your
movie? Because if you would win something that would be "commercial
benefit", or wouldn't it?
3. Are the "royalties" for commercial use of
"non-commercial"cc-music fixed or is that different. Do I have to ask the author
directly, or is there anyone else I could contact? Or is that ASCAP
anyway
