Featured Commoner: Magnatune 02/01/2005 08:39 PM

Magnatune provides "Internet music without the guilt." Based in Berkeley, California, Magnatune is a record label with a 21st Century business model, offering consumers a unique mix of free and paid music. One of the first for-profit companies to adopt Creative Commons' copyright licenses into its strategy, Magnatune has amassed both an impressive buzz and a large artist roster. We recently spoke with Magnatune founder and CEO John Buckman about the music company's progress and plans, and how going "some rights reserved" can boost the bottom line.

I recently had a chance to catch up with longtime supporter of Creative Commons, Neil Leyton from Fading Ways Music. Fading Ways has been a true leader adopting Creative Commons in the commercial music space, and has even taken to educating others -- Neil is organizing this upcoming music symposium in the UK.

Check out the Featured Commoner interview with Neil, as I'm confident you'll find him to be very insightful.

Magnatune on iRATE radio 04/23/2004 11:09 PM

iRATE radio has placed 3,000 CC-licensed tracks from the non-evil Magnatune label into "rotation." iRATE is a collaborative filtering system for music. The first song new users have the opportunity to rate is Monsters from Magnatune artist Beth Quist.

A future iRATE skin will include CC license indicators in the main display. Here's a sneak preview sent to us by iRATE's creator, Anthony Jones:

Magnatune making money for Creative
Commons musicians
02/10/2004 02:41 AM

Linux Journal has a great interview with John Buckman from Magnatune, the non-evil record label that sells Creative Commons licensed music on a sliding scale. It's turning out to be lucrative for the artists involved, with the average musician taking in $1,500 in royaltes last year and the top artists making over $6,000 in royalties (which are 50% of sales).

While six thousand dollars won't buy you a Bentley or a mansion for MTV Cribs, most artists listed at Magnatune are independent musicians that record at home. Considering that for most Magnatune artists, it means sending a few high quality recordings to a server and later getting thousands of dollars in royalties, it's a pretty good system for the struggling musician. Combined with the services of something like Pump Audio, today's independent artist has a lot of avenues to make money off their music while still letting others share it freely online.

Austin Project Featured at SXSW 03/06/2004 01:49 AM
The Austin Chronicle takes a look at the Austin Wireless City Project's initiatives around the SXSW music festival, which happens next weekend: The project is offering free iTunes music to users of the free hotspots set up by the project. In addition, the IC2 Institute, a research unit of the University of Texas, is making a presentation during an Interactive Conference going on in conjunction with the festival. The institute will talk about how everyday people can benefit from connectivity. Howard Rheingold, who wrote Smart Mobs: The Next Social Revolution, will also speak at the conference. Other coverage of the Austin Wireless City Project's efforts include a story written by its co-founder, Rich MacKinnon. He offers a really great description of all the parties that benefit when a venue offers free hotspots. He gives the example of a free hotspot at an Austin restaurant and describes how a consultancy made money to install the router, a printing company was paid to make new coasters touting the free Wi-Fi, MacKinnon's company Less Networks pays a hosting facility to support the hotspot and a PR firm is paid to promote the free hotspots. He notes that even the big companies make money here, including Kinko's which printed a new sign, CompUSA which sold the access point, which was made by Buffalo, and SBC which provides the DSL connection. The list actually goes on, offering a strong argument for the business case behind free hotspots. [both links via Less Networks]...
