What, no link to purchase the album straight from this post? j/k
Since so much of the music on Neocha seems to be offered for download, wouldn't it make more sense to release this music under a Creative Commons China license rather than old fashioned copyright?

Actually, 99% of the music is not offered for download on Neocha, it's only the compilations we produce. We contact each musician or their manager to clear the rights for the compilations.
I'd be open to exploring the Creative Commons license although I think it may take a bit of education among Chinese musicians to work.
