While it’s true that ccMixter is owned and operated by Creative Commons, we here at ccMixter are not lawyers and in fact, the lawyers at CC have told the ccMixter staff that we are not allowed to dispense legal advice. And quite frankly we were glad to hear it. If you think about it, legal advice carries risk and a remix site where people can barely agree on the proper EQ setting on a kick track is hardly an adequate resource for legal consultation.
We heed the directive from the law staff CC in a very narrow fashion so most questions about what samples are legal to post to this site and what constitutes a “commercial” context when using music found on this site are going to be deferred. The good news is that there are established online communities that are staffed by CC and ready to discuss all kind of issues related to licenses. You can find them all at the Creative Commons discussion area. So in summation: If you have a question or comment about music or ccMixter itself, you’re in the right place. Questions about CC licenses should be directed to the CC discussion lists. Thanks, VS |

hi im very new to this , but can i use non commercial music in a trailer for a graphic novel.

While I’m not a lawyer, and can’t give you any legal advice, the basic meaning of a non-commercial license is that you can use the music to promote something you’re not making money from.
So if the graphic novel is a webzine or PDF that you’re not charging for, or you’re printing the novel and not charging people for the copies, then you could do that. If the trailer is an ad for something you’re planning to sell, then you’d probably have to use music licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license. (CCMixter has a lot of that, too.) http://dig.ccmixter.org/fre... |

I’ll add something to what AB said: you can always ask. If you find a non-commercial song that you really want to use and your graphic novel is a commercial project, just contact the producer. They may be willing to grant you permission for free depending on the nature of your project or maybe you can come to a reasonable arrangement in terms of compensation.

What about using samples that are said to be public domain or CC and that are not on ccmixter or related sites? E.g. I’ve found http://soundbible.com/1227-... can I trust the “public domain” claim and use in a remix here?

Hi
Hope this is the right place - excuse newbness. So I want to know whether it’s OK to include tracks in a live stream from http://dig.ccmixter.org/fre... in ‘free for commercial use’ section? I am testing out a streaming service and want some good tracks to use to test it all out, in between some voice recordings I already have. Thanks a mill for any help |

As long as artists are given attribution per license terms, you are free to use the music. In a live stream situation, this could mean either posting credits on the web page where the stream is hosted, and/or a voice over announcement as we do in our podcasts.

Thanks. Yes I set up a page linkable from the live player with a list of tracks and credits. It is a stream rather than a podcast, however. I take it this makes no difference then. |

Streaming is fine as long as you use CC-BY tracks (exclude CC-BY-NC) and Attribute ALL contributing artists for each track. A page with links to each track would likely suffice as the remix history would thereby be accessible and all contributing artists are listed there. The best practice, however, is to list all contributing artists AND link to each song’s source page. Let us know where we can listen!

Can I change the type of license for my work (an a Capella in the public domain) to allow commercial work?
Cheers :) |
|
.
Unless I misunderstand your question, a work in the public domain is already allowed for use in commercial projects.
|
|
|
.
What I meant was is there any way to change the license once it has been submitted? I submitted a piece that I intended to allow commercial work from but I mis-tagged it. Either way I found the place to choose it so it won’t be a problem from now on I was just wondering about the old file.
Thanks for the reply though :) Cheers! |

I’m pretty sure you would need an admin to do that for you. I would try contacting snowflake or Admiral Bob.

Which one is it… Oh Shenandoah? Let me know and I will change it for you.

Did I notice that the license for some TRF songs have change from BY-NC to NC-SamplingPlus?

this shouldn’t actually be possible….?

Like your reply, AB
Good to hear that what I observe is just a finger of my imagination and that license assignment is static. Was worried that the Rock of Gibraltar had fallen into the sea. Attribution does not seem static since source references go away when members remove samples and pells. TRF |

Attribution is static - the license type is assigned to the upload directly. Although the license type inherits at the time of upload through the UI, there actually is hard storage of the license type as part of your upload.
