Siae, the Italian collecting society, has accepted to start an Italian version of the Dutch pilot project leaded by Creative Commons Netherlands and Buma/Stemra, in collaboration with Free hardware foundation and Liberius. The project counts several partners like members of Frontiere Digitali network: Jamendo, Wikimedia Italia, Beatpick, Fiordiluna icecreams (the first Italian organic-fair-shop that diffuses copyleft music without paying a collecting society), …

Jamendo is always glad to support innovative initiatives in the sector of the free music and we hope that other countries will follow the example of Italy and the Netherlands.

Cette semaine, nous avons été ravis de recevoir Christophe du groupe luxembourgeois Avastar. Nous en avons profité pour faire une interview/Podcast, ou comme dans les précédentes interviews, nous abordons tous les sujets relatifs à la musique libre mais aussi et surtout l’histoire d’Avastar.

Vous pourrez retrouver cette interview sur Jamzine avec avec qui nous partagerons désormais le contenu de ces interviews.

Un grand merci à Domnukem pour son aide précieuse à la réalisation !

Estamos hoy contentos y orgullosos de anunciar que el periódico malagueño “La opinión de Málaga” nos ha dedicado un artículo en su edición del día 14 de octubre pasado.

El artículo es de Ignacio Atencia, editor de temas sobre Nuevas Tecnologías/Internet.
Tras examinar nuestro portal y interesarse por la gran aportación que este supone para aquellos que empiezan en el mundo de la música como futuros artistas, decidió dedicarle a Jamendo una página entera para darlo a conocer a los lectores del diario.

Desde aquí le agradezco de nuevo el interés y animo a otros periodistas a que hagan lo mismo…

Jamendo has just broken the barrier of 5,000 albums available under Creative Commons licences.
Being able to get introduced more countries everyday shows the growing success of Jamendo and its international community.

A special thanks to all the artist and users for the confidence you entrusted in us.

Il y a une semaine a eu lieu la journée de lancement des licences Creative Commons au Luxembourg.

Voilà les vidéos de Laurent Kratz et de Paul Keller présentant respectivement les liens entre Jamendo et Creative Commons, ainsi que le projet pilote entre la Buma/Sterma société de collecte Hollandaise et Creative Commons.

Paul Keller

Last Monday the 15th the Creative Commons launch day took place in Luxembourg.

Jamendo has been deeply involved in this project and distributed a CD compilation of 12 artists who publish their Creative Commons music on Jamendo.
We have been honored by the presence of John Buckman (CEO Magnatune), Paul Keller who leads a pilot project with the Buma/Sterma in the Netherlands, and Patrick Peiffer ( Lead Creative Commons Luxembourg), and Laurent Kratz ( CEO Jamendo )

During the presentations, speakers and attendees discussed the future and the impact of the Creative Commons licences on cultural works in general and specially on music. Regarding the results of the debates, it seems that, even if we still have a lot to do, artists can be confident in the new distribution model that jamendo and Creative Commons promote.
