Marking Audio

HOWTO

1. License: Let your audience know what license your work is under in one or more of these ways:
   1. CC Bumper: A sound clip at the beginning or end of your audio stating the license
      • Download a default CC bumper
      • Create your own CC Bumper using these guidelines
      • Browse user submitted bumpers
   2. CC Marker: A graphic or line of text stating the license, next to the file (on a webpage) or in the liner notes (for physical media)
      • Download an official CC marker or use the license chooser to "get the code" for your website.
      • Create your own CC Marker
      • Browse user submitted markers
   3. Metadata: Machine-readable information embedded within the audio file that tells your computer and mp3 player what license a work is under. See Internal (Technical)
2. Copyright Statement: A line of text or audio clip stating the author(s), date & copyright
   • May be part of the bumper and/or the marker
   • May be followed by "Some Rights Reserved"
   • example: © Name 2007, Some Rights Reserved
3. Publish: Guidelines & standards for marking video work on:
