wired creative commons cd

I wanted to mention this because I think the idea rocks. Wired Magazine published a CD with tracks from big time artists licensed under Creative Commons licenses. Even though though the tracks themselves hardly interest me it’s cool to see a good idea like CC is getting some good mainstream media coverage this way. By [...]

free musick

In the digital age where RIAA is trying to sue every file-sharing ass it’s refreshing to see there are artists out there that put full size, high quality mp3 tracks online for download from their own websites.
