Thanks so much. What is a CC-BY? And what does it mean that you can do with my sample? Just Curious.

Thanks again

The best place to understand the specifics of each CC license is here, at the creativecommons.org site. In brief, if you release a stem under a CC-BY license, you’re allowing others to share/ use/ modify your work — even for commercial purposes — as long as they credit you.

The way I see it, I’m allowing both commercial and non-commercial users to utilise my work. From the “distribution” point of view, I’m increasing the chances of my work being publicised for me. As to why I’d allow commercial uses, I don’t see it as being exploited. I see it as a quid pro quo: i help them and they help publicise me. Granted, they credit me of course but there’s no guarantee for this even if you release it under a NC license.

Where and Why would u publish it

Not sure if I understand your question. You mean why would i publish my samples under CC or publish your stems which I (hypothetically speaking) would have used?

if your question is the latter, the answer is not everyone would publish it. But I think most would create a piece of work to show at least one other person. If you’re properly credited for your work, that is one more person knowing about your work through cc.
