GOOD:
1) Exchanging your labour in a free market (no monopoly), i.e. selling your intellectual work.
2) Making and selling copies of your work or the works you have purchased (even if zero price)
3) Creating derivative works

BAD:

1) Preventing someone doing any of the above

It’s all about liberty, and absolutely nothing to do with pricing.

The idea that copies that cost nothing to make should nevertheless have a non-zero price is one of the delusions created by the monopoly of copyright.

The market for copies has ended. The market for intellectual work continues.

I was searching for it too and ran across your website. I found it here:

“Charge the confusion to my expense account” — can I quote you on that?

On teru’s point, I personally don’t feel comfortable recommending CC 0 to any other musician. It’s so extreme that it even makes me uncomfortable about recordings I make that hardly get 20 listens.

Hi. I was wondering if you could help me with step four setting up the tracks volumes so the main out is off and the track’s output is split between the two busses. I am using acid pro 6.0 and i cant see this option anywhere on the track. where am I able to set the tracks volumes so that the main is off and output is split between the busses? thank you

Well said.

We will truly have a musical Creative Commons when we have an enormous crowd-sourced sample pool of CC Zero material.

Also, I imagine someone could create series of beats and melodies and donate them to the public domain, to create a
similar sound pool of compositions rather than expressions. To draw an imperfect analogy, this could result in a huge “prior art” for musicians to rely upon, to avoid the hegemony of copyrighted songs.

All that would be needed is some creative software creation,
some sheet music of resulting products, and a public domain dedication of the result.

Cool. Boyle’s “Public Domain” book is really compelling and startling. For those of us already using CC licenses, we’ll have to consider making this final jump to CC0.
thanks, trap

they must have killed it then - ridiculous as that is. If you get confirmation for that from R/CW let me know and I’ll update it here.

The link above, as well as every other link I can find with google for downloading the free sfz player seems to lead to a 404 not found error and a Roland Cakewalk site error page. Have Roland decided to kill off the free player ?
