Heya 🤠 Do you publish any of your music without copyright or a CC-BY license? Or if not (yet), then you might want want to keep an eye out for the Creator Contest - just published a note with some preliminary details 😉
Discussion
Hi! I read the note you're referring to but I don't think I understand. I also have no idea about the copyright stuff haha. Do you mean I could propose a track of mine to your contest? And does it have to be a new one or can I pick one I already had?
Mostly, by default whenever you publish something somewhere they automatically assume you have/want the copyright. But on many platforms you can choose to publish in the Public Domain or several Creative Commons licenses (CC-BY is what I would consider the only properly "Open Source" CC license).
As for the contest, it should be a new song / project. The details will be posted soon, but basically the idea is this:
1) We have a prize/commission (200k+ sats)
2) Artists propose what they would (and could) create for that prize/commission - along with proof of previous works (they don't create it yet)
3) People vote on the best idea / artist
4) Votes are tallied up, the best idea / artist gets paid 50% of the prize, they create what they promised to create, they get paid the other 50%
5) The newly created work is published in the nostr:nprofile1qyd8wumn8ghj7cn0wd68ytnvv43hgatjd9n8jtnwv46z7qg4waehxw309a5xjum59ehx7um5wghxcctwvsqzqr5g4trndr2lykpyx7pxqs4nlvazdgfx70v9wcvvddn99204h7s27tcduj Open Source Culture section and the public domain
Hope this makes sense :) If not, more details coming soon! Or just ask any further questions you might have 😉
Thanks for the explanation, this made it pretty clear! Following for future updates!
