And is that considered to be "machine-readable"? Is it anticipated that a search engine harvesting files with a particular license would use the first URL in the "copyright event" as the search criterion?

Thanks,

I guess the copyright field is unformatted text -- would you use it in such a way that it could be machine-readable, say by a search engine?

The copyright field is unformatted text, but we'll recommend a specific format from which license and license claim urls can be extracted. Excerpted from <http://creativecommons.org:8000/learn/technology/mp3>:

TCOP (Copyright Text) should include a human-readable license and
license claim information. The contents of this frame are displayed
by many programs in a "file info" window. Example value: 1995 Example
Band. Licensed to the public under
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/1.0/ verify at
http://example.com/cclicenses.html

If "verify at " exists in TCOP, everything after it must be the
license claim URL, and if there is a license claim URL then it must
be preceded by "verify at ".

For MIDI the instructions would be the same, just replace "TCOP" with "copyright event".
