== What is it? ==<br />
<br />
CC Lookup is a tool to verify embedded license information. MP3 files tagged with [[ccpublisher|our CC Publisher application]] carry information about what license was chosen for the file and a public URL where the license can be validated. If you've downloaded an audio file from [http://archive.org/ the Internet Archive] or a P2P network like [http://creativecommons.org/audio/publish-morpheus Morpheus] that claims to be Creative Commons licensed, this application will verify that for you.<br />
<br />
== Installing CC Lookup ==<br />

Installing the application is as simple as downloading the appropriate package below. Once downloaded simply double click the installer (Windows) or drag the application file to your Applications directory (Mac), then run the program.<br />
