Question for advocates of Creative Commons NC-ND removal: How many creators currently make their living exclusively w/ !CC free? #lazyweb
-
That is the wrong question. Worth watching: http://ur1.ca/a0tcm then think about the question again.
-
Slightly better may be how many creators currently making their living from their independent creations could switch to Free and still do so
-
@zotz I disagree, it is exactly the right question until there is *much* more awareness in the rest of the world.
-
nope, what percentage of creatives entirely support themselves from their creativity using any strategy? writers. actors, musicians?
-
@zotz Wrong. There are creatives who do make a living solely from their art - they do so by !copyright. Ask J.K.Rowling. Ask Bono.
-
@zotz Yes, he's right. Please go look at the !copyright page on anything @doctorow has published.
-
I think that depends on what you mean by "solely from their art". Both of my parents are full-time musicians and they teach. My father is also a composer, but copyright isn't really part of his strategy.
-
@douglasawh I realize most artists don't make a living solely from their art, but there are some that do. They are on the !copyright poster
-
@douglasawh does your father publish work !CC ? I am tickled that my octogenarian composer father has released his newest CD !CC by-nc-sa
-
I honestly don't know when his last release was and if it was post-CC. Tom and I interviewed him long ago...before Tom and I had the passing down for interviews...so it is super-long: http://www.musicmanumit.com/2010/08/music-manumit-podcast-bono-fied-100821.html

our interview with @methoddan was similarly long, but we lost some of the "tape" so not as long! http://www.musicmanumit.com/2010/08/music-manumit-podcast-down-rathole.html
