Interview with Magnatune's John Buckman
January 26, 2005
Staccato has podcast an interview with Magnatune's John Buckman.
Magnatune has helped pioneer distribution of open content music. The label's music is licensed with a Creative Commons license, which encourages sharing and copying via the Internet, as long as it is non-commercial.
The interview is noteworthy because podcasting is quickly becoming an alternative to radio for learning about new music. Podcasters should be able to avoid legal hassles by including Creative Commons-licensed music in their broadcasts. Artists and labels can learn from Buckman's experiences and determine if open licensing makes sense for them.
