Soundcloud announces deeper Creative Commons integration
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 20 August 2010
SoundCloud has announced a raft of new features linked to a stepped up partnership with the dudes behind Creative Commons, the only slightly complicated copyright system whereby creators allow other creators to use their work for non-commercial projects.
Creative Commons-licensed tracks hosted on the SoundCloud platform will now be listed on a dedicated page at www.soundcloud.com/creativecommons, and the site’s search engine will now allow users to search for free-to-use samples.
SoundCloud CEO Alexander Ljung told CMU: “Providing the talented and varied userbase we have on SoundCloud with more options to share and create their own original works is core to our mission. Partnering with Creative Commons is great for our users and any audio creators in the CC community as we look to build a huge library of sounds, samples and songs to inspire more new creativity. These new features will facilitate this process and help to consolidate all the disparate sources of CC audio around the web for future creators”.
