Mikseri.net, a very succesful Finnish website to promote new artists and unknown talents has sprung many amateurs into the music industry in a way they could have only dreamt of. See it as the open source “Idols“. However, there’s something very wrong with the site and their logic how they function. They don’t promote CC-licensing at all.

Artists should naturally have a chance to license their music through CC-licenses and thus help spread the music. At the moment the only alternative (after a little detective work) for artists to license their music is the regular copyright law. If you try to grow your business and help the artists, let the music play! I mean they’re already doing it with embeddable music players. Where’s the logic in that?

Mikseri.net – you guys should meet Creative Commons and truly blow your business. You’re artificially limiting your business, because you’re stuck to the old ways of doing things. Innovate, live long and prosper!
