It's an amazing homebrew cartridge and worth every penny. I know others who make more dance-style music use LSDJ. As for the copyright, that's where CC is awesome. You're not giving free license to use your work however, you're licensing under a very specific contract. In my case, that contract stipulates that attribution must be given if you use my work. The cc-by-sa license states that all derivative works must be released under the same open licence. Adding the "non-commercial" clause means people can't charge for your work. There's nothing to stop people from stealing your work, but you can pursue legal action just like you would a classic "all rights reserved" copyright. Personally, I'm doing it for the fun of making music and getting it out there, so if someone made a hit song using one of my tracks, I'd be trading highfives all around :) As it is, many commercial games have used my tunes, and I love it!

I worry about using CC and then having someone sing over it and them selling it for money? Whats to stop them as long as they put my name? :-/ I want to do a similar type thing… two questions, 1: What program do you use? 2: What is to prevent someone from redistributing remixes etc and charging for it?

I wanted to let you know that we have used your music for 'Voxeliens' (a retro game we've just released) and it's perfect! You can read about the game here: http://www.volumesoffun.com/voxeliens/ If you'd like a free copy of the game then just drop me an email and I'll send it to you. Regards, David Hi Eric,

I cannot tell how useful this music has bee for my text adventure, and aside from that I will be listening to it whenever I miss my NES. You will also be mentioned in the credits.
