Today's guest: Andrew from
The Craft Economy I've been excited to see how many remix projects are happening right now (
Valery Gore,
Gentlemen Reg,
Green Go) and the
invitation from The Craft Economy to mess with their music
also has me thinking about how art should work. If you live in Toronto, you may have seen CDs from The Craft Economy stapled to telephone poles around town. Some of these also contained text written in protest of
Bill C-61 where the band says, "Copyright should protect the rights of artists and producers of creative content, but it should not suppress creative and artistic expression."
The band has chosen to license their music using the
Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 2.5 license. The way I see it, this protects the music as intellectual property, but allows the general public to use / enjoy it in many ways, as long as the band gets credit for the work.
Doesn't that seem like a good way to do things?
Andrew Bray, from The Craft Economy, is my guest today. Hear what he has to say about keeping your business straight when it comes to the music.
