Hi all,

I just went through all of the songs and licensed them using a creative commons license. Do a wiki on that term if your interested in its definition. Before, a musician had to send an actual CD to a copyright organization who (supposedly) registered the work and administered the copyright. That organization is called the RIAA (US), SUISA (CH) or GEMA (DE).

Now, I can simply paste in some HTML code into the product for sale, informing that users may distribute it as I request, which explicitly is “distribute, use for other works, attribute credit where is due, but don’t make any money using derivative works”. If anybody really wants to make some skrillah using a B-Tune then you know where to get in touch with me.

Before I get carried away, I should attribute the majority of these ideas to www.jonathancoulton.com. He came up with pretty much all of the marketing models and sales models used on this site. I wrote him once asking to buy his marketing model off of him. I said, “could you sell me a copy of your website with backoffice?”. He responded, (I paraphrase): “I’d rather be in the business of selling music than selling websites. Feel free to copy whatever you want”. What a decent view of the world. Thank you Jonathan.
