As I said in a previous reply, I don't see a problem since we're handling free
music under (strong) copyleft licenses — when using e.g. a(ny) CC license, you
don't need permission to share the work in its verbatim form (unless NC
applies and you're using it for a commercial cause).
But I'll double-check on it, just in case.

Cool :)

Getting the netlables to do this themselves or at least offer this data to the
public, would make great sense, yeah.
I was thinking of making this client-side, but there might be a problem with
how to check the license and/or if the content is really what it says it is.
If the netlables would join in, this would be a lot easier.

Are you sure? Why? O_o

I don't quite follow what this has got to do with StatusNet (ex Laconi.ca).
Could you kindly explain it a bit more?
Cheers,
