We're getting word about a #Copyright claim ©️ on Youtube 📺 against this track playing on our radio 📻 during a video, that needed 2nd level escalation 🚀 before the fraudulent fake-name "copyright owner" backed the fuck down. 😈 People routinely steal free music and claim it as their own. 🤮 Thank you for the #CreativeCommons #CCBY music. 🙏 jamendo.com/track/1500806/smal

hat tip to @toddlyons for the link. I wanted to add a comment to this excellent run down of the OGL and the industry. However, it gets one point wrong.

"But, there’s a reason that Creative Commons hasn’t caught on further: you have to either be committed to releasing your entire content into the Creative Comments ... or you have to carefully construct an SRD for each publication so that you only release certain content"

This is false. And this falsehood seems to have spread far and wide like an ear worm. To clarify, you can specify what is and is not under the license. It is your work, you can delineate it however you want.

Same story for Lizzie Boredom, pretty much. But Lizzie likes to lean on the synths a bit more.

One day people'll appreciate how great my lyrics are too.

On a purely base level "All she loves is yet to come, and then she'll-, well she'll" is really ace, even you have to admit that, right?

2023 remaster: osirissaline.bandcamp.com/albu

2019 original: osirissaline.bandcamp.com/trac

Here's a fun punky E minor tale.

I remastered A New Home in 2023 as I wanted to show Pais's bass work, and show my vocal mixing as being pretty good, for people who like clean stuff: osirissaline.bandcamp.com/albu

The original mix of A New Home, which I prefer looking back on it, is on Cult Rock Accommodation and is fuzzier, and much less clean, for the sake of reminding people of cassette tapes and pure garage rock: osirissaline.bandcamp.com/trac

I've seen this in the #OpenContent world also, where some organization will add a non-free clause to a #CreativeCommons license. Also sometimes add onerous crediting requirements (like "you must include our name, copyright, and a link to our site on every single page").

Both seem like odd things to do - why not just make a similar license (call it "inspired by" the original if you want), take out the conflicting portions, add your non-free portion, ???, and profit!
