nc lets you do that. it lets us share and remix tay zonday, music on ccmixter, comics from octopus pie and catandgirl (and more,) it even lets us share music from the commercial label magnatune.

“what does nc mean” always confused me. from the legal code it really appears that if you aren’t “putting a door up” between someone and the media (i.e. charging for it) you’re good to go. but ianal either (@lessig is… he’s my hero.)

i should be able to play *nc* music in my store, give people cd’s with ads on the front so long as i don’t sell the cd’s, put them on commercial websites- even websites with pay features- so long as you don’t have to pay to get the NC music!

i don’t- but am i allowed to? i like to think the legal code permits it (and is intended to.) in such a situation i would prefer not to use NC content, but in your situation absolutely, i would. so i hope i’m interpreting “nc” correctly. as for “nd,” i *almost* think it’s evil… meh.

I came up with a better articulation of my two concerns about cc-by after I filled out your survey, and both of them come from scary Flickr experiences.

NONCOMMERCIAL.
If a “blog with ads” is commercial exploitation of a work, as has often been charged in the Flickr forums, then I fear that every possible use is in jeopardy of being called commercial. Aren’t “blogs withOUT ads” just as commercial? Every use of a work, if it is ever displayed, either benefits or makes use of businesses’ properties or equipment. Google shareholders benefit from the goodwill offered by ad-free, “free” blogger.com blogs. Perhaps the only noncommercial use then is scratching it in my skin with a stick, but maybe only if it came from a wild species growing on my own property. I don’t claim to know there is a problem with your license, but there is a problem in public perception.

“LICENSE”
I once used someone’s creative-commons licensed photos and get an angry retort of “Why are you downloading my photos?” When I explained to the person that he gave me a license to use the work, he demured. But I think a lot of people forget that a license is a license. They instead view the CC logo as, “Hey, contact me if you want to discuss terms for using the work.” Again, this fear is increased by the terrible experience for re-mixers at Flickr, where the “Blog This!” was at first defined by the staff as it reads: folks have permission to use it. Later it got turned in to a button you can use after you’ve obtained permission.

IANAL.
