@deadsuperhero AFAIK everything on Vodo is CC, is there a way you could automate a mass import, maybe by arrangement with them? Vodo was founded by film-makers, not geeks, with the goal of helping indie films get funded. I've often wondered if they would be willing to rebuild their site as a PT instance (or otherwise make it PT compatible), if there's a way to do that *and* help them fulfill that very worthy goal.

The #NC clause in #CreativeCommons licensing is both a blessing and a curse. It addresses one of the most common reasons artists balk at #FreeCulture licensing ("but what if corporations profit from my work and I don't?"), and artists that dip their toes in with NC licenses often end up switch to a free culture license like BY-SA. But it also makes it more complicated to explain to people what they can do with the resulting commons of works. Pros and cons.

@switchingsocial isn't wrong. All of that music *can* be re-used non-commercially. But yes, @Blort is also correct that a lot of it can be re-used commercially too.

@deadsuperhero hey I notice the VidCommons doesn't seem to have the awesome #UsNow documentary about crowdsourcing, by Ivo Gormley. I think it can still be downloaded from #Vodo.net or #Archive.org

The full #Paywall documentary is #CC licensed (#BY 4.0) and has just been uploaded to #VidCommons:

Can't wait to watch my first full documentary using an instance of #PeerTube!

@deadsuperhero awesome! I'll give that link a signal boost :-)

@Blort @switchingsocial @funkwhale At least Jamendo folks replied, unlike #Magnatune when I emailed them about the irritating ads that pop up in the middle of songs when you listen on their site.

@Blort @switchingsocial @funkwhale I exchanged some emails with #Jamendo folks about why the specific #CC license isn't displayed more prominently. They see it as a necessary evil, if they are to keep their business afloat, and return some revenue to their artists *sigh*. Their model seems to be a hybrid of royalties collections society, and music-as-a-service provider.

Why are online institutions like the Free Music Archive important? Because they are (ideally) an enduring public record of the work created by musicians who choose a more permissive style of copyright licensing for a wide range of reasons, and often with a level of commercial success that some people may find surprising:

@craigmaloney just went to the #OpenMetalcast site to subscribe using #AntennaPod. Can't find an RSS button or a subscribe link. Am I suffering from domestic blindness?

I think the solution to this is to talk to developers who are applying the Peer Production License to software about the #FourFreedoms, and why #SoftwareFreedom is important, find out what their goals are in choosing this license, and help them brainstorm other ways of achieving those goals. Lecturing them about #OpenSource, I suspect, will not help much.

Applying the #PeerProduction license to software is another example of what Stephen refers to as "hybrid" licensing models, which like the Commons Clause only segment and divide the software commons, and IMHO, do more harm than good.

My apologies @mike I got myself quite confused about what's happening with #Hubzilla. Thanks for the clarification :-) @LWFlouisa

@deadsuperhero thanks #TeamHuman for putting me onto it :-)

@jeremiah @Kelly_NAproducR that said, as a vegan, I'm against the pet industry, and they clearly have their own pro-therapy-animal PR campaign going on. So this is probably an issue I can be fairly objective about. I've started a #CounterClaim page on it:

@deadsuperhero @LPS that makes sense. I guess you don't want people to be finding non-profit commons videos his your site and getting confused ;-)

@Kelly_NAproducR @jeremiah read the linked article. It talked about normal skin bacteria being transferred from human to human within the hospital via the dogs, and that this can be avoided with simple sanitation practices. So the scaremongering, clickbait headline isn't even justified by the content. Another reason to suspect a PR campaign is propagating some key messages.
