My opinion - this recording is better.

Are the recordings in the public domain? Your website says "Some rights reserved" Attribution 3.0 Unported (CC BY 3.0)

Shouldn't it say CC0 per the Kickstarter which says "We are creating a new digital score and studio recording of J.S. Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier (Book 1), and we're placing them in the public domain for everyone to download, own, share, and use, without any limitations."

Yeah, that's a Bandcamp thing. The Licence file in the download clarifies that it's CC0.

Given that your case is likely to become high profile, you might want to drop them a note to add CC0 to the list :)

I'm only guessing, because I don't have a Bandcamp account, but usually media content hostings have a limited choice of licenses, so people pick whichever license is closest and mention the real one in description. I know this is true for e.g. YouTube which simply doesn't have the CC zero option.

Makes sense, thanks.
