Introduction
Creative Commons provides options for artists to license their works in ways that gives them control over how they
want their works to be used. Creative Commons has been proven to be a legal alternative (or addition) to traditional
copyright, and is a major contributor to the culture of sharing. It provides a legal framework that permits – at the very least –
[artist attributed] sharing at the consumer level which drives new supporters and holds an established fan base.
Creative Commons provides various clauses to copyright including the allowing of: Non-Commercial or Commercial
use; Share-Alike (allowing modification, restricted to the same license) or No Derivatives and other limited to Sampling or
attribution. Combinations of these licenses are available or manipulations can be specifically tailored to a particular use.
Traditional copyright does not allow sharing of works, works must be purchased by each new person seeking the work, this
is certainly detrimental to aspiring artists. The marketing alone required to sell enough copies of works to acquire a fan base
would exceed any budget of said artists.
Creative Commons promotes a creativity that is not driven by the desire for commercial success, but by the social success
of supporters. Creative Commons does not damage the commercial worth of the piece which can still reach it’s full potential
because CC can assist with the notoriety of the artist and hence assist with commerciality. Copyright is singularly a conduit
for commercialising the rights to an artist’s work and ignores many of the more poignant artist’s objectives.

The Artist
A brief description of each license, the roll of the label and any options available (as well as the advantages and
disadvantages of a Creative Commons License) should be easily available on the Slow Release website. Artists hoping to
sign with the label would then easily be able to understand the terms of the label and what they will be (irreversibly) doing to
their works.
Objectives
Effective implementation of appropriate Creative Commons licenses which are adopted to respective persons or situations
will guarantee that the artists, the consumers and the label will be satisfied with the end product. If an nd clause is applied to
a work that is decidedly suitable for sampling and modification, the consumer may not be pleased (which will effect both the
artist and the label); if a too liberal a license is chosen, the artist may acquire his or her achievement of some notoriety and
the consumer may use a work commercially for a small or no cost, the label will be compromised; and it will be detrimental
to the artist if the label insists on a contract that the artist is not in total agreement with.
label

artist
consumer 2
Clearly, the 4th option is the optimum objective.
The artist should be well informed that they will be required to license their work with a Creative Commons license and
indeed the definitions of each Creative Commons license. The artist should be explained the recommended licenses and
what options are also suggested. If an artist is fully informed of the options available and has been given sufficient
information upon which to make an informed decision, there is less chance of legal challenge and of artists dissatisfaction
with the contract forged. If the appropriate label is chosen by the artist and the label, the result would fit within the 4th option
of the Venn diagram above.
With regard to items that are for sale and as with traditional Music Labels, upon signing the contract, the label holds at least
some control over the product. However, these contracts often rob musicians of control over their own art, pertinent to Slow
Release, it would likely prove a more effective practice, considering the implementation of a Creative Commons license to
provide a more ‘hands-off’ service. The Creative Commons licenses should cite both the artist and the label in the works
attribution. This would drive more consumers to Slow Release, and ensure more purchases when the work can easily be
shared for free otherwise. If the Editorial Board chooses to force artists to sign contracts for freely distributed works (not
items that are sold by Slow Release), then – as above – the label should be cited in the attribution.

Elliott Bledsoe, the project manager of ccAustralia has made it known that ccAustralia will endeavor to help Slow Release as
much as it can.
Common Licenses
Creative Commons Repositories
Jamendo, an online music platform; Flickr, an image and video hosting website and Magnatune, an independent record label
and music store have all effectively used Creative Commons licenses in various ways. Magnatune allows low-quality by-nc-
sa samples, all files on Jamendo employ a variety of licenses as is the same with Flickr. A more complete list of Creative
Commons labels is included in the appendix.
Overall License Demographics The pie graph 1
by-nc-sa by-nc-nd by-sa demonstrates
by by-nd by-nc the percentage
1% of licenses
9% 8% employed by the artists. As shown, 70% of artists do not wish their work to be
used commercially, and either opt for Share-Alike or No-Derivatives clauses. 2
13% 42% Because the majority of artists (77% of Musicians using Jamendo) avoid
commercial use, contracts should certainly provide the artists the option of denying
commercial use.
28%
The table below lists the licenses of each of the three mentioned websites. 3

1 It should be noted that this graph does not include data from Magnatune. As Magnatune only employs the by-nc-sa li-
censes, including it would be bias towards the other licenses. by-nd and by-nc are unique to Jamendo and Flickr respec-
tively.
2 Music based Jamendo users prefer to allow there works to be modified (with the same licenses), while photo based Flickr
users prefer to not allow this. A complete list of graphs are at the end of the paper.
3 The inclusion of Flickr is given to provide a comparison and to provide statistics of the licenses which artists consider ap-
propriate to apply to their own creative works.

Policy Options
Blanket License
This option would apply a single license to the entire site and all media or products on it. Artist wishing (or asked) to be on
the label would be required to agree to the terms of the license. It is much easier to administer such an option, but this
option is very limited and it may not be very agreeable with all artists.
License Set
Unlike a Blanket License, having a set of strict unmodifiable licenses for different circumstances (free or sold items etc.)
would still be relatively simple to administrate, but still limits the artist, be it less-so.
Licensing Freedom
This would possibly cause some chaos for administration, as allowing users to choose and modify every part of there license
would require a newly constructed contract for every artist.
Minimal Variability
This option is the option I recommend and extend upon below. A set of default licenses with set options for varying the
license (rather than allowing the licenses in any form the artists chooses). This would reconcile with the artist to some
degree, still giving him or her flexibility, but it isn’t a strain on the administration of the label.
Monetary payments to the Artist
If it is deemed appropriate for proceeds of sold items to – in part – be delivered to the Artist (in one way or another), a similar
arrangement to that of Magnatune and Jamendo who both distribute 50% of the profits to the artist and withhold the
remainder. A similar arrangement would likely be the optimal solution.
Exclusivity
I believe it to contradictory to the philosophy behind Creative Commons to force artists to sign exclusivity agreements. Any
such agreements would put at a disadvantage the artist and the labels aspirations of signing Visiting Artists.

Default Site License
Recommendations
These ‘default’ site licenses are the most likely predicted licenses to be used in whichever given category. Ultimately the type
of license would be defined in the contract and by the the artist’s association with the label (staff, student or visiting artist).
The following recommendations have been concluded through research into similar situations with other labels and sites,
consideration of the objectives of the label and thought paid towards both commerciallity, artist rights and consumer
satisfaction.
Online Distribution (general)
by-sa
As a basic model for distribution, the No Derivatives clause should be avoided as well as the Non-Commercial clause. These
clauses can be incorporated later to other more specific licenses. Given that not having the sa clause allows others to place
full copyright on the modified work, I do not believe it is in the goals of the label to allow this.
Website
The label’s website (http://slowrelease.waapamusic.com) should also adopt this license as it’s default (unless otherwise
mentioned) license governing the whole site. Wikipedia, as of June this year is using the by-sa license. Permissions should
be sort from all copyright holders of media on the site to license their works accordingly.
Sales
by-nc-nd or by-nc-sa
As some sort of income is expected from sale of the music (be it commercial or otherwise), allowing commercial use is
almost certainly not ideal. If we denounce commerciallity, those wishing to use it for commercial reasons would need to apply
for it, possibly with higher fees as a result. Mixing and modifying a work is a key contributor to modern culture, Creative
Commons and sharing in general; No-Derivatives is almost more restrictive than nc for this reason. by-nc-sa is the most
popular single licenses overall (42%) and it contributed to 55% of works at Jamendo, it is clear that artists choose this to
protect any possible monetary gain, while still contributing to the sharing culture and exposure of the artist. Given that most
Visiting Artists’ works are likely to be sold (as opposed to free or streamed), either by-nc-nd or by-nc-sa would likely be the
most applicable licenses for this category.
Creative Commons Proposal to Slow Release

10. Slow Release Music - WAAPA
Free
by-sa or by-nc-sa
For free downloads, using the aforementioned general distribution license would be the ideal option. Income isn’t an
objective, so commerciality isn’t a problem. As mentioned, nd – if only for cultural reasons – is not an ideal clause. There is
no relevant reasoning to omit the sa clause, or replace it with an nd clause. Students and staff will most likely be the main
beneficiaries of freely distributed works, either the default by-sa or by-nc-sa would be apposite to the category.
Non-Commercial
Artists that do not want there work used commercially should be given the option to have the nc clause on their work.
Streaming
by-nd
Arguably one of the reasons to stream as opposed to download (apart from it’s increasing popularity and ease of use –
musically.com/blog/2009/07/13/filesharing-down-by-a-third-among-uk-teens), would be to avoid derivatives (as it is more
difficult to acquire a copy to modify). As these will be streamed and likely not as high a quality as downloadable equivalents,
a commercial license will likely not be an issue. Online music label magnatune.com release free versions of its paid music on
a low bit-rate (or other limitations) as a deterrent to commercial use.

11. Slow Release Music - WAAPA
Contract License
Recommendations
These should be considered the default licenses for the respective client categories. Changes should be available on a case
by case basis, for example a Visiting Artist may wish to allow derivatives.
The following recommendations have been concluded through research into similar situations with other labels and sites,
consideration of the objectives of the label and thought paid towards both commerciallity, artist rights and consumer
satisfaction.
Students
by-sa
As students are striving to become better artists and more well known amongst the community, getting their name and their
work into ‘the wild’ has to be one of their foremost priorities. Restricting modification would be detrimental possible to this
primary objective. nc shouldn’t be necessary as having a work commercially used would be of great benefit for the aspiring
artist. nc should, however, be explained to the artist as an option as he or she may wish to use it.
Staff
by-nc-sa
Staff are likely to be already somewhat established in their profession, so absolute freedom in terms of commerciallity may
not be in the best interest of the staff member.
Visiting Artists
by-nc-nd
Visiting artists, by default are well established artists. For this reason, having the most restrictive license will probably garner
more support from the artist. Sharing will be permitted, but certainly no commercial use. Having an sa clause (instead of the
nd clause) should be suggested. The by-nc-nd licenses contributes to 28% of applied licenses, it’s ideally used by those that
are cautious with regard to their creative rights.
Previous Exclusivity Agreements
Previously signed artists may have problems with signing for a Creative Commons Label (moreover, they may not be
permitted to sign to any new label), as their previous label may have a exclusivity agreement with the artist. One possible
work around would be to not sign the artist to the label, but merely have them (the artist) license their own work themselves
and then Slow Release could host the work while abiding to the license explicitly.

Royalties
Artists’ Royalties
Many online – Creative Commons – music labels employ a royalty model that is fairer on the artist than traditional Record
Labels. Magnatune offers its signed artists 50% revenue,4 and similar arrangements are made at other labels. A similar
situation would be beneficial to Slow Release as, regardless of whether the Artist receives the royalties him or herself, or if a
donation of the artists’ royalties (Described below) is administered,the artist would be comfortable with where the revenue is
going and how it is being used.
Allowing the percentage of royalties between the artists and Slow Release to be negotiated may prove to be time-wasting
and administratively difficult. Having a fixed, non-negotiable percentage (50/50 or otherwise) would be the easier course.
‘Donation’ of artists’ royalties
This proposition involved the artists donating5 their share of the royalties to Slow Release. All donated royalties should only
be able to be spent on activities or materials related to the artist donating the royalties, or Slow Release in general. How it
should be spent will still be up the Slow Release itself, but the artists’ royalties should be permitted to be spent on unrelated
(to the artist or the label) activities or material. This should put at ease any non-commercial worries that the artists may have
regarding the use of the money they provided. Publishing the financial statements of the label my prove to further vanquish
any doubts the artists may have. Wikipedia – which survives off donations – publishes its financial statements for this reason.
Both optional and required donations clauses are included in the draft recording contract included in this paper.
Optional
If donations are optional, the artist will need to agree or disagree to donating the royalties in the recording contract.
Requirement
If donations are required, the donations clause will be added to the recording contract to which the artist will agree to.
4 Note: not 50% of profits.
5 For tax reasons, the word donation should be herein regarded as a metaphorical use, not legal use. The the percentage or
royalties with which the artist would normally receive would be kept by Slow Release, but would only be used on the condi-
tion that it’s use would be related to, or in regard to Slow Release itself.

Marketing and Commercial Use
Commercial Use
It is likely that Slow Release will want to use produced recordings to promote itself, its represented artists, its representative
board, WAAPA and ECU. If this is sought from contracted artists’ works that do not have a Non-Commercial clause to it,
there is no concern. If, however, a work that the label wishes to use for promotional ‘activities’, a Commercial Use
Agreement must be acquired before any marketing arrangements are made. This clause is included in the draft recording
contract included in this paper.
Commerciallity of Slow Release
A non-profit organisation status may be a viable option for the label to look more closely at further in the future. This could
help taxation related to the label.

Outcomes
Sold items
Magnatune’s signed artists make an average of between $US1500 and $US4000 p.a. 12 January 2006 and a highest
average payment of $US10.43 for each album as at 11 March 2007. Effective use of the appropriate Creative Commons
license should provide relative results for Slow Release. Jamendo, which offers an ability to donate rather than purchase the
products has had 1,454 donations over the first 22 months with an average of $US14.55 each donation. Magnatunes, which
more closely resembles the proposed Slow Release label has, thus far, been the most effective system of Creative Commons
implementation.
Sales should not decline after a notable amount of sales so long as the label is cited in the attribution (in addition to the
original Artist/s). People, including ‘pirates’ are generally ethical people, thus providing a purchasable source for ‘indie’,
unsigned, lesser known or aspiring artists would keep a steady flow of consumers to Slow Release.
Free Items
If Slow Release is cited in the attribution, free products will likely drive consumers to Slow Release also. The number of sales
relative to this will not be as large as for Sold Items, because with sold items, consumers would in, all probability, go to the
label with the intent of purchasing a product.
Contract Licenses
Staff
Staff would be able to use the label to both promote themselves, WAAPA (and thus ECU) as well as the label. The inclusion
of such high quality artists would improve the reputation of the label, and further its growth. If a semi-liberal Creative
Commons Licenses is applied, consumers will likely return to Slow Release at future occasions.
Students
Chosen students would represent the quality of music coming out of WAAPA, increasing the standing of both. A more liberal
Creative Commons license would provide free and easy promotional opportunities for the student.
Visiting Artists
The reputation of the label, which will likely be improved upon by the quality of Staff and Student works, will encourage more
Visiting Artists to sign up to the label. Semi-strict licenses will reduce any possible concern that Visiting Artist may have, but
would still follow the labels ideals.
