>Not all CC licenses are free for commercial use, though. In fact, most of them aren't.

Sure, it wasn't my intention to imply that. I'm talking explicitly about music that is completely free to use, and music licensed under certain CC licenses is just an example to illustrate the point.

Thank's for clarifying for other readers though.

It was also not my intention to imply that getting free music is easy. Of course much music is commercial, many people are reluctant or unable to give away products of any type.

My point was only that there are in fact a lot of people creating music and releasing it explicitly to provide music which can be used for any purpose commercial or not, and a variety of websites which catalog this music.

These people/websites are a boon to many, like podcasters who require into/outro/background music.

I'm not saying this movement could not use more momentum, support, etc....the contrary in fact. I'm saying only that it already exists.




Fair enough. I'm just trying to advocate for more music and fewer strings attached. I know that some exists, but, as you point out, things are still far from simple.
