The only difference I see with releasing it under that license is that it makes it legal to distribute it for free, and worse someone could actually sell the content for their own profit. Unfortunately we can’t afford to produce and manage the content for free.
I’d be interested to hear if there is a different reason for wanting the episodes under that license.
That’s why I’m asking how much. How much money do you want? As in, total.
The reason is that the pay-per-download model is detrimental for LessWrong’s goals. As DSimon said, we want as many people as possible to be exposed to LW ideas. People who haven’t heard of LW, people who would never themselves pay for such content. But I want your podcasts be played on the radio.
Instead I propose the Kickstarter model—you name your price, the LW crowd raises the money, you then have no problem giving copies away for free because you’ve already been paid.
I’m not sure about Cannibal, but I can tell you why I’d like that: because it would mean that more people would listen to it.
