#fediday... schon wieder.
Aber ich muss es ja mal loswerden:

Mir kommt die große Ehre zuteil, nicht nur am Freitag Abend (3.10.) zum cozy Kennenlernen auf dem Dach der #cbase in #Berlin #CreativeCommons Beats von meinen portablen Kassettenspielern aus auf- ähhh einzulegen (und je nach Stimmung vielleicht auch live was von mir dazu rappen)...

Sondern ich werde am Samstag (4.10.) auch die Moderation auf dem Dach übernehmen. Ich hab natürlich auch schon einen "die Uhr tickt!"-Jingle vorbereitet, falls eine:r der Redner:innen es wagen, ihre Redezeit zu überziehen! Es wird der Hammer. :-)

Allein schon, weil 3 Leute von unserem OrgaTeam sich einen Monat zusammengesetzt haben, um ganz spezifische Fediday Cocktails zu kreieren (ein großer Teil davon auch alkoholfrei - ist mir z.B. wichtig). Und die sind so großartig geworden! Hmmmmm #lecker ...

Und Altaaa, es sind nur so Koryphäen dabei. Etwa der mit hoher Sicherheit eleganteste Mann des Fediverse (der mit der Fliege!!) - @ErikUden und so viele mehr. Und ja, es wird international!

Das Sharepic habe ich gnadenlos aus unseren internen Fediday-Orga-Files gezogen - hab gerade mobil die Zugangsdaten zum @berlinfediday Account nicht, und die Zeit wird knapp - daher direkt von mir.

Eg har satt saman "Veslebror", ei #nynorsk fanomsetjing av Cory Doctorow ( @pluralistic ) sin "Little Brother", ein roman om å slå tilbake mot overvakingsveldet, og ikkje stole på nokon over 25 år.

Releasing music as #CreativeCommons is no doubt the right thing to do…but it’s costly.

The real money made in the music industry is from sync licensing…music that you hear in TV, video games, and movies.

However, the media companies paying out thousands of dollars in licensing fees to artists like me don’t want Creative Commons music.

Here’s why:

🧵1/5

So if you’re interested in supporting #CreativeCommons media, please check out my Bandcamp page: https://megabyteghost.Bandcamp.com.

I’m currently over $50,000 in debt because I tried to start a CC-exclusive record label not knowing that the way record labels stay in business is by sync licensing music to TV, games, and movies.

I’m working with an organization and we’re getting my debt down. I’m on a repayment plan that is about $800/month.

I don’t want to give up on CC media. And I won’t.

🧵5/5

That’s a potential $300,000-$500,000 I’m leaving on the table.

To do “what’s right”.

I will continue to make #CreativeCommons music.

Because it’s the right thing to do.

Art should be in the commons. Especially when it’s essentially free for me to infinitely reproduce a digital file.

No artificial scarcity here.

But you gotta understand: this is not really sustainable.

Streaming pays out, for me, $0.0014 per stream.

If you want CC to exist you gotta BUY IT.

If at any point you ever wonder, “why don’t more artists release #CreativeCommons,” this is why. It hurts our income, which hurts our ability to put food on the table.

Even artists who aren’t interested in making a living from their music still have to buy gear. Gear is expensive. Gas money to play shows is expensive.

I actually do produce music for sync licensing. The pay is usually $3000-$5000 per song.

Right now I have around 100 songs I’ve released as Creative Commons.
