Biomed Central, a publishing house offering free access to over 100 journals of peer-reviewed biomedical research, has recently adopted the Attribution license on all their submissions.

One-man band Brad Sucks recently signed with Magnatune and licensed all his tracks under Creative Commons (and began selling them on a sliding scale on Magnatune’s site). We were delighted to hear that Brad’s song “Making Me Nervous” was recently licensed for use in radio ads and TV ads that played in Canada. Thanks in…

Legendary musician Roger McGuinn of the Byrds is using the new Creative Commons Music Sharing License for all the songs in his Folkden project. You can see the Share Music tag at the bottom of each song’s page, as it’s displayed here for the song

Last featured on CC Remix Music was Funktifyno, a great fusion jam band based in Oregon.
