I got in touch with the composer and we agreed to make a song together but when i saw the creativecommons under her songs i was curious to know what kind of license that is.I contacted her again some hours ago and told her that with that license anyone can take her songs and do whatever.It turns out she had no idea about the risk and now if you go in her soundcloud page she changed it.Thanks for the helpBertKoor wrote: Tue May 05, 2020 4:16 pmThat's clear as water, right?noylis wrote: Tue May 05, 2020 1:29 pm I found a track that says All Rights Reserved and then when i click on License it takes me here

Publishing does not require anyone to attach a license. By the 1886 Berne Convention you obtain all copyright at the moment you publish something. But when you do add a license, it better be the right one.
