Unfortunately (from the perspective of a songwriter), a lot of people will take that as wink-wink nudge-nudge. Anyway, a non-profit streaming service that is voluntarily populated only by indie artists that control their own licensing terms (in exchange for revenue share) would a good thing.
- VLM 13y agoA perfectly legal non-wink wink nudge nudge would appear to be private-ish streaming with music from magnatune: http://magnatune.com/info/give http://magnatune.com/info/give So letting the whole world listen would break the agreement, but just streaming to you, your spouse, and maybe a buddy or two would be "OK" or at least well within the spirit of the agreement. Just no more than 3 other people. I'm not exactly sure why you'd stream rather than just share the file, but whatever. Maybe you have purchased gigs and gigs of music licenses and want a jukebox effect, donno. I've purchased rights from magnatune in the distant past, and would recommend them. I like their business model and they did the deal professionally and quickly, and I've not heard anyone complain about them. Good people, basically.

- davexunit 13y agoWhat is "wink-wink nudge-nudge"? Do you think I'm promoting violating licenses? I'm a musician, too. I meant that someone could start a GNU FM service and stream music that has been licensed legally from musicians.

- mattl 13y agoI'd love to do more to disassociate the two. Libre.fm is five years old now. Time for us to break the chain?
