Hey wow ok this is all fairly new to me... I have been thinking about setting up my own label so as to publish my music.. and as i am currently living away from home i cant quite do it yet. However this "Creative Commons License" which i am familiar with because Flickr provides it on their site for your photo uploads.... if you set up a weblable does this automatically protect your music under Creative Commons? or can i claim that even now without any site or organisation backing it up?
EDIT: Ok i may have just answered my own question...did a wiki on it....
Quote:
"A netlabel (also online label, web label, digi label or MP3 label) is a record label that distributes its music primarily through digital audio formats (mainly MP3 or Ogg Vorbis) over the Internet. While similar to traditional record labels in many respects, netlabels typically emphasize free distribution online, often under licenses that encourage works to be shared (e.g., Creative Commons licenses), and artists usually retain copyright. Most employ guerrilla marketing to promote their work; few netlabels earn money for participants.
Netlabels may have a considerably lower staff count than traditional record labels, in some instances being only a single individual in control of his/her music, maintaining sole ownership. Physical LPs, for example, are rarely produced by a netlabel, relying entirely on digital distribution and means of the Internet to provide the product."

But im still fairly interested in how you plan to use this set up?
