I think I'm missing the point here, it sounds like what has been banned is the use of non-commercial CC licensed music in places which may qualify as commercial sometimes. That sounds pretty sensible. It's either that or go to each individual artist and negotiate a commercial license which sounds like a pain to do.
- zacharypinter 16y agoYep. Seems like the whole issue was blown way out of proportion.
- spot 16y agoNope, they banned all CC works instead of noncommercial ones.
- warfangle 16y agoWell, they had issues with using non-commercial CC licensed music in commercial situations. But instead of simply limiting their use to commercial CC licensed music, they discontinued all CC licensed music. It seems like too sweeping of a measure.
- sprout 16y agoThat's incorrect. Their position is that there's not a significant amount of CC licensed music without an NC attached, and it's too difficult to tell the difference, so they're banning all CC music regardless of whether or not it's CC-NC.
