Intellectual Property: Creative Commons and Crowd-Sourced Lyrics
What is the state of things with respect to crowd-sourced lyric collaborations?
I suspect that collaborations on lyric development are far from a novel concept at this point. This post is an appeal for input from those with knowledge and experience.
Besides the ins/outs, wheres/hows and whos/whys, I am interested in the aspect of attribution to collaborators as well as how lyric projects are kept "on theme" in what I assume could be the free-for-all of a crowd-sourcing environment.
Is Creative Commons licensing for lyrics a thing? If so, does CC licensing work? Is it necessary for lyric collaborations to take place under the umbrella a CC-sanctioned environment? Or can a lyrical outline be registered w/ CC and then, say, be posted in this sub-forum of AGF for whomever wishes to take part to join in, w/ the CC registration being periodically updated to reflect each additional contributor ?
