Vast majority of musicians have no clue about licensing or copyrights or/and do not care, be it permissive public ones or strict ones.
- throwawayinfo 6y agoIf the artists don't know or don't care, then neither should end users.
- analog31 6y agoMost musicians are effectively end users. A relatively small fraction of musicians are actually involved in the production and sale of commercial recorded music.
- mc32 6y agoI think that’s too broad a definition and renders the term near useless (someone who can play an instrument regardless of skill). In this case I’d regard musician as someone who derives significant portion of their income from making or playing music or at least puts in a significant time into becoming the above (practice, learning and playing).
