Not all CC licenses are free for commercial use, though. In fact, most of them aren't. And you're right that one has to have all the relevant copyrights to avoid legal hot water. I think that there's a different right for just about every little piece, from the arrangement of the music to the lyrics to the recording and performance rights. Combine those two points and you see that getting strings-free music is a little harder than usual. And precedents like that nonsense about a 5-note hook from a long time ago don't help when it comes to issues of derivative works. |

Sure, it wasn't my intention to imply that. I'm talking explicitly about music that is completely free to use, and music licensed under certain CC licenses is just an example to illustrate the point.
Thank's for clarifying for other readers though.
It was also not my intention to imply that getting free music is easy. Of course much music is commercial, many people are reluctant or unable to give away products of any type.
My point was only that there are in fact a lot of people creating music and releasing it explicitly to provide music which can be used for any purpose commercial or not, and a variety of websites which catalog this music.
These people/websites are a boon to many, like podcasters who require into/outro/background music.
I'm not saying this movement could not use more momentum, support, etc....the contrary in fact. I'm saying only that it already exists.
