PUR is not a site of censorship backers, pur is a government site that list alternatives for finding, sampling, using, remixing and buying content. It’s the only decent thing the government did in the whole hadopi mess and it’s a shame it had to come together.

To have a CC commons site be pointed by the government as a sensible and responsible use of licensing and a standing example of respecting the rights of artists and users offering free music with unlimited download is probably an honor.

You should see that not as bad thing, but as a good one: the government is acknowledging the potential of the CC-license and of independant promotion and sharing platforms.

Still, is not like jamendo asked to be included there, the government compiled the list by itself, I wish sometimes part of the userbase here didn’t acted so much on their emotions and acted more based on reason.

There are things to be upset? Sure! But not everything is a matter of fighting the man, some are really just misunderstadings, and you’re jumping the gun.

They just stated the following about CC:
The Creative Commons license for each track is visible on the bottom of each track page, but as many users had difficulties locating them, we will move them so they are more clearly presented. Of course, Jamendo is and always was a platform where all content is under Creative Commons.

1) CC content can be licensed blocking Non-Commercial (NC) and Non-Derivative (ND) as it can be seen here:  http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ 2) What they do is that if you want to use songs that are licensed as NC and/or ND  for commercial and derivative purposes, they arranged a easy way to license the music directly for those purposes for a really cheap fee and unlimited use,

I absolutely abhor rip-off companies who exploit their targeted customer-base by deliberately lying to them, and specially when they use such a noble, terrific and FREE service as CreativeCommons licensing =  Grrrrrr.

They’ve always said that even to use a CC BY licensed song commercially, you have to buy a license from them. This is NOT true. CC BY grants you permission to use the track commercially without compensating the artist in ANY way besides providing attribution. And that’s not even the half of it! They also try to get you to buy licenses for ANY use besides home listening, even if it’s allowed by the CC license. In other words, they have downright lied to their users before.

The version and locality of the license is also not specified.

Jamendo used to do this, they don’t any more.
