Hi Tim,
I have already had a meeting with ACLS and they were rather positive in
relation to both the commercial and non-commercial versions of the licence.
The message we are trying to pass is pretty much the one that Ashlyn from
Fading Ways was suggesting in a previous posting:
> While he is correct in pointing
> out that CC is not a copyright alternative, CC licenses clearly are
> NEEDED in today's marketplace for artists that believe home-taping and
> P2P file sharing is beneficial to our work and essential to our
> internet and street-team marketing. It is ludicrous to accept the
> present music b usiness industry model, which is incredibly stumped and
> outdated by the information highway, without looking at other ways to
> legally improve our business practices.
I am planning meetings with the rest of the UK collecting societies within
March/April, so I will keep you posted on that. Just wanted the licences to
be
finalised and on the website before proceeding to any further discussions
with
collecting societies.
Having said that I would like to thank you all for the feedback you keep
providing on the licences. Also, to the CC-Scotland team: sorry for the CC-UK
mistake on the licences, it keeps popping up the whole time in a rather
embarassing way!!!
Best,
pRo
