Dear Mixters,

We have made a small update to our terms of use to give ccMixter the option to advocate for Attribution in some circumstances – for example, when someone outside our community claims to own the copyright to music created by ccMixter artists.

The following sentence has been added to our site Terms of Use.

“To protect the integrity of ccMixter’s library, ArtisTech Media has the option to assert your rights to Attribution on your behalf.”

If you have questions, email the admins or post here.

I myself have had the experience of a YT video I made, using ccMixter music by Kara — and me — getting claimed by an automated music farm that had simply harvested a bunch of CC-licensed stuff and started striking at random.

Hope this can prevent, or at least hinder, that…
