Creative Commons Sampling License

Lessig reports on this post from Jason Swartz. Too cool!

Particularly inspiring was [Creative Commons'] new effort to create a "sampling license" that allows musicians to release music with a default license that says you can sample the song without having to ask permission, even for commercial purposes, as long as you agree to only use some but not all of the song. It's an ingenious way to create a huge library of songs that are truly Ready-To-Sample without any FUD -- a true lawyer-free zone.
