Re: [microsound] interesting legal/licensing developments at scene.org [nexsound.org mp3 host]

[Dario Sanfilippo <tirriddiliu@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, that's how it works in most countries, the Copyright Holder is
the creator of the work, unless he/she explicitly transfers his rights
to another person/entity.
And, still in most countries, the Copyright is _full_ by default (All
Rights Reserved).
So what Scene.org thinks to do is a bit absurd, according to me.

Anyway...

Remember that the CC license BY-NC-ND 2.0 says:

"You are free:

     to copy, distribute, display, and perform the work"

That would not protect but would allow Scene.org to keep the files up
(i mean legally CC-licensed files).

Even if i think that CC licenses are a good thing i wouldn't make them
a standard; i guess it's better the approach Archive.org adopted:
you are free to keep your Copyright full or choose the CC license you like more.

Ciao,
Dario.
