|description=Bar-Ax Promotions, which promotes Iranian musicians and songwriters worldwide, aims to organise, an outreach event in Istanbul, where Iranian, Turks and Arab musicians and songwriters can attend, to promote understanding and adaption of CC's tools and licenses in their work.


|output=The project should result in a video to introduce CC to a wider audience. In addition, our excellent contacts within the Persian media abroad might result in press coverage about the event.
|community=Bar-Ax targets young Iranian musicians, both men and women, on their path to professionalise their talent, as well as helping to promote, license and share their music globally.
|community relationship=Bar-Ax represents Iranian contemporary and alternative musicians. Our website hosts more than 75 underground music bands. We are providing musicians with recording guides, copyright and legal consultancy, PR, thus facilitating performances and advancing networking. Most recent ventures include an alternative Iranian Arts Festival in March 2010. Another success has been a compilation CD of 14 underground bands in collaboration with Songlines magazine. Bar-Ax is a dynamic and very promising initiative that plays an important role in supporting and promoting the Iranian music community under difficult circumstances.
|measurement=The success of the project will be measured by two indicators: participants adapting the licenses in their work, and participants introducing CC in their video interviews, in Farsi.
|participants=There will be 8 participants in this project. Bar-Ax will sustain their involvement by representing them in other fields-as are provided within Bar-ax- including PR, facilitating performances and distributing their music.
|impact=The overall impact of the project is to increase confidence among Iranian musicians to participate in the global market without the fear of encountering copyright issues.
|tech needs=The event should result in at least one video to reach a wide audience introducing the CC's work, through the words of participants themselves. In this regard there are some tools available to use, such as a camcorder. But a quality sound is important to ask musicians to interview each other about their arguments for and against the use of CC in their work. We need 3 Sony voice recorders, one tripod for the camcorder and a suitable mic for the Camcorder. The assets we bring to the project are a camcorder and the technical skills to film.
|legal=No
