releasing IDENTITY THEFT under a
CREATIVE COMMONS license means that the band is giving outright permission to other artists to remix their work and release it to the world under their names as long as it is under the same (share-alike) license. An example of this would be
Fort Minor's Remember The Name. Also, check out the whole of
DJ Vadim's Soundcatcher album. About two weeks ago,
Nine Inch Nails released their latest album,
Ghosts I-IV under basically the same license that Drip is releasing their album (NIN uses a
US-ported license; Drip is using a
Philippines-ported license).
DJ Spooky is another well known advocate of
CREATIVE COMMONS. Hope that helps!
