Aloha,
I was poking-around online one day when I came home from work early with a headache, and I found this site, presenting a new form of copyright-like protection where the type and level of permission is determined by the originator.
Kind of an open-source copyright system. Maybe it's not new to you, but I never heard of it before.
Their idea is to "mark" a private work so as to allow sharing and collaboration while maintaining specific rights, such as commercial use, and/or modification and/or attribution. And it's FREE.
Creative Commons
http://creativecommons.org/
Here's their Musician specific page:
http://creativecommons.org/learn/artistscorners/musicians
Their concept intro videos are good if you can stand the little bubble-people!
Also found a site related in that they accept & offer public-domain tracks for anyone to use, alter, or collaborate on while applying the protections(or invitations) chosen by the artist via the creativecommons process.
OpSound
http://www.opsound.org/opsound/about.html
and, another fantastic open-audio site(online film archive too);
Just learned that this site will host audio(store the file on their computer) for FREE if you release it under the Creative Commons system mentioned above:
Open Audio Archives
http://www.archive.org/audio/collection.php?collection=opensource_audio
I love the idea and thought it'd be of interest to somebody; maybe some of you pro's can benefit from this.
