Creative Commons Attribution Symbol As always, this show is not legal advice and does not constitute an attorney-client relationship. Audio mp3 audio | ogg audio | stream | torrent | unedited video Once again we don't have the player because we uploaded the video before realizing that mean no audio player. That will be resolved next month! Thomas and Doug go through the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license line-by-line, pointing out anything they think is important. Given the length of the document, this show runs about twice as long as normal. As of the moment, most of our show notes (below the fold) are just the license text because we thought commentary interspersed with the text would be confusing. This way you can easily follow along and understand when we are reading the text and when we are commenting on it. We can always go back and add more links or commentary, so if you think that would be useful, please let us know. If you'd like us to go over ShareAlike (SA), Non-Commercial (NC), or No Derivatives (ND), please leave a comment or getting in touch via our audio feedback line, social media, or email. If you have any idea for a show, please let us know! Next month: Band Agreements. In August, we plan to discuss non-profits in music. In September, we plan to discuss collection societies. Drinks of the Month:    Thomas: Kool+Aid     Doug: The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf from Costco. Not available online. Thomas also shares his new Shure mic…records guitar magnificently!  NOTE TO FUTURE SPONSORS: If we had actual sponsors, we'd make sure to link and to brand appropriately.  News:    Steve Albini says...copyright is dead         We have a tall task ahead of us today to try to make this relevant anyone dealing with music in any way, from musician to business person to lawyer.That said, to deeply understand all of this, you need to know something about international law, contract law, and copyright law. In the original Lawcast series we spent a lot of time looking at the localization of the licenses, which will help you gain some international perspective. We invite you to take a look at those. To the extent you want us to cover aspects of international law, contract law, and copyright law, please let us know.It’s also worth noting that even though we are looking specifically at the CC BY license, non-CC free culture licenses for music do exist. The Free Art license is probably the most-used among the alternatives, but you can find many more listed at http://freedomdefined.org/Licenses. Please note that not all CC licenses are free culture licenses.   Below is the simplest CC license (CC0 is not really a license) with an added fair dealing link.
