The Electronic Frontier Foundation
has devised the Open Audio License
as a legal tool that ``allows artists to grant the public permission
to copy, distribute, adapt, and publicly perform their works
royalty-free as long as credit is given to the creator as the
Original Author.''
``If you are a musician, band, or other artist and you want your
creative works to be experienced by the widest audience possible
and touch the hearts and minds of the greatest number of people
around the world, the EFF Open Audio License allows your fans and
supporters to market and distribute your work through viral marketing
that creates attention and adds value to your identity. You can
also help build a common pool of creative expression that can be
accessed and improved upon by all of society.''
