I recently got involved with video again and just released my second music video featuring the track ‘Ein Bild von Dir’ by Gleichschalter [broque018]. Using Creative Commons licensed music in a video turned out to be a bit more complicated than expected. According to a document published by Creative Commons, one can not use music under a No Derivative Works (ND) license. In case of my music videos I got permission, and for some other videos I used music with an Attribution (BY) or Attribution-ShareAlike (BY-SA) license. Most netlabels featured here on Sonic Walker publish their work under a No Derivative Works (ND) license and since mp3 files usually don’t carry any license information, it is not easy to search for music by license type. A good place to find music which you can use and remix is Jamendo. On Jamendo one can search by artist, album, tags etc. in combination with the desired CC license (example).
