Electric Keet's music? On Bandcamp?
Almost.
I'm planning to dip my toes in by releasing my first three released albums, a.k.a. my only released albums... but I have a big decision to make.
What license should I release all this under? It's presently covered by standard U.S. all-rights-reserved copyright, but I'm trying to decide just how available I want it to be. What I really want it the Hippocratic License – https://firstdonoharm.dev/ seriously check it out – but Bandcamp only offers Creative Commons licenses, so...
Do I want "Non-Commercial"? Not quite. I mean, I sort of do because I'm kinda rabidly anti-capitalist these days and I really don't want anything I do to be used for shit I wouldn't tolerate, but I don't want to say no to whatever small game developer wants to plunk my tracks in whilst also making rent payments, y'know?
Do I want "No Derivatives"? It seems cruel to offer music for use in projects and then say it can't be changed as needed to fit, so probably not.
Do I want "Share Alike"? I don't even know. Are viral licenses cool?
At the end of the day, I think what I really want is for my work to be available to anyone who wants to make use of it, but I kinda want to know who and why first so I don't discover that fascist assholes used "Dream of One" as the startup sound for a kitten-seeking missile or something.
Am I better off sticking with "All Rights Reserved" and telling folks to contact me for free usage only if they think the Hippocratic License is a good idea?
re: Electric Keet's music? On Bandcamp?
@ElectricKeet saying "All Rights Reserved" to Bandcamp and putting a note in the description seems like the best way to us? Like, if you put a CC license on it, you're telling people they can distribute it under that license.
(we also want to distribute our music under a Hippocratic License, actually)
