My buddy Ryno - http://rynothebearded.com/ has a weekly podcast that focuses on music under a CC license. There are many great tunes available free of charge, and it's very strange that music falling under this license doesn't get more traction.

While we are sharing CC Music have a look at

if your tastes extend to classical. Classical artists have it easier as they can release a sound recording of a particular performance under the CC licence and then release another recording commercially. Leon Fleisher springs to mind.

Why is that idea limited to Classical artists?

[wolfgke]

Because the composer/artist has to be dead for many years for the copyright to expire (in the United states 70 years after the death; cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_countries...).

It isn't, forgive my clumsy writing.

I think I wrote that because classical artists think in terms of performances of a score, and I perceive that pop/rock musicians think in terms of tunes that they have composed.

I don't think it's strange, really. Music is generally publicised by large labels on purpose and at great expense. It would be incredibly rare for an unsigned (not to mention a CC no one is getting paid for) track to get on the A playlist of a national radio station without someone actively pushing it with all the usual PR that comes with a record release.

This is a great podcast and they have featured our music a number of times!

An excellent podcast! Really highlights the number and diversity of indie artists distributing their works under the CC license.
