As I said in a previous reply, I don't see a problem since we're handling free music under (strong) copyleft licenses — when using e.g. a(ny) CC license, you don't need permission to share the work in its verbatim form (unless NC applies and you're using it for a commercial cause). But I'll double-check on it, just in case. > 1) Add an extension to the API which provides an index of torrent and > magnet links.

I was thinking of making this client-side, but there might be a problem with how to check the license and/or if the content is really what it says it is. If the netlables would join in, this would be a lot easier. > This would require buy-in from Jamendo and the Libre.fm project to > confirm whether they want to progress down this path. Are you sure?

Could you kindly explain it a bit more? Cheers, Matija -- gsm: +386 41 849 552 www: http://matija.suklje.name xmpp: [email protected]
