Magnatune is an interesting company. They are positioning themselves as the record company the is not evil. See for yourself on their home page. I have posted before that Magnatune has supplied detailed information on how to give proper attribution to their company and the the artists if you use their music in a podcast or VBlog. My previous post covers the specifics but your podcast or vblog must be non-commercial and provide appropriate attribution. If you do so Magnatune has gone one better. On their licensing page you will now find this:

Podcasts and Video Blogs

If you meet these requirements, you have two options:

Is Magnatune cool, or what? They not only have they release their music under a creative commons license but they are bending over backwards to make their music useful for Podcasters. This is such a refreshing attitude. Other organizations I have tried to work with hold onto their copyrights so tightly as to make it impossible for podcasters to help them spread the word about their product.

All I can say is, if you haven’t checked out Magnatune.com for your podcasts or even personal listening, you are really missing out. They are not an evil record company. Can’t you just feel the love?
