Clever Music goes to Beatport

Support your artists!

You might do a gig with 'unpaid' netrelease music for a good fee, would be fair for the producers to see some of that too, isn't ?

Go Clever Go !

I just got pretty peeved at the idea of attempted revocation of creative commons licensing of items that were already licensed. (re-releasing the previous catalog as paid material)... technically it's still creative commons licensed and so regardless of where it comes from (a friend, slsk or beatport...) it's still legal to freely share...

the legal question is an interesting one to ask in this case... the CC licence says that the composer/producer/creator owns all the rights of the tracks; the question is what happens when the producer decides to use his/her work for commercial purposes later on! well, more exactly, what happens to the previously shared copies of this track? I suspect we're in fuzzy grounds at this point... does anyone know whether there's a CC forum where people think about these kinda questions?

anyway, there's some good stuff coming out on the new clever! so watch out!!!!!

Money makes the world go round.
This means I have to be quick downloading the netreleases to save it? (my money)

Everybody who is doing a gig with this unpaid netreleases has to donate to the netlabel, and the rest can still get it for free?

If an artist wanted strictly to make money they wouldn't be releasing on a netlabel... Exposure in most cases is worth much more, and in my opinion, anything more is just a bonus in netlabel land.

The links didn't work when I tried yesterday

Go figure why

Well, I think it's a good idea that people pay for good music.

Yeah, I know what you mean and agree. But there's now like 100000 netlabels and each time I play in a city, at least 2-3 people come to me asking me music for their "new netlabel." I can't keep up with all of that! I used to but now I get discouraged to spend hours of leeching.

So this new mass is almost making the opposite effect and I think the quality has dropped too. I used to have much more music from netlabels in my Finalscratch than now; I actually haven't put anything in a while.

Since I get a lot of demos and can't put everything on 12", I propose to artists to make a paying netrelease and this motivate them. I just hope to give the artists some support.

I agree 100%
