Meanwhile, please point out the part of Evan’s post I did NOT respond to (or laid down on, or whatever) and I’ll be happy to oblige with a response.

HOWEVER I will not take part in a cred-fest-pee ing match other than to point out that Evan’s claim that he speaks for “everyone [at] CC [and] anyone interested” is, to put it as discretely as possible, just wrong — and er, a wrong blanket statement at that.

This is the third time I’m saying this: I KNOW people don’t agree with my opinions, I LINKED to those opposing opinions in the piece.

I would venture to say Evan is po’d because, gasp, I don’t agree with him, not the other way around.

My content filter is the default thingy (+MTBlacklist) in MoveableType from a billion years ago when I installed it and never looked back. Sorry if that offends you, there is only so much energy I can put into fighting off the 1000s of cas ino/blue-pills ads this site gets bombarded with.

Going “this is to me, for me” implies, basically, nobody should read your work, since they’re not you. For shame.

For my own part, I licensed the BBS Doc Attribute-Sharealike 2.0. Huzzah!

P.S. I can’t call it my BBS doc ume ntary because your content filter blocks it. Way to go.

The title of this piece is ‘to me’, as in: me, not Evan.

I start the piece by explicitly stating that I do NOT speak for anyone at CC.

I point to a video of John Buckman where he expresses very clearly he thinks church bake sales and school projects are very troublesome cases for Magnatune — and CC in general. I’ve heard him say that “there is no such as non-commercial” — I think in the video he says “non-commercial means no audience” which in essence is the same thing.

If the new license do not express ‘money in exchange for music’ then yes, I will rethink my opinions.

I guess what’s impressive to me is that you would ignore all this and assume my opinions on my web site regarding my music is the definitive word for all music under all NC licenses. I had no idea my words had so much power. Cool.

Also, ‘It means “money in exchange for music” and new license verbiage is going to make that explicit.’ Where did that tidbit come from? I’m pretty active with CC, and I’ve never heard it. Is that information public?

Finally, you may be interested in this page on the CC Wiki: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/NonCommercial_use_cases
There are a lot of edge cases to NonCommercial that you should think about before making blanket statements.

Great writing! Some interesting thoughts, I will think about these.

Thanks you!

I guess I’ll still offer the sampling folks a chance to use both “sampling+” and “by” when possible.

Thank You. You made somethings somewhat clearer to me.
