Dogmazic is one of the primary free music download managers in France. Dogmazic was created in December 2004 by the Bordeaux-based Association Musique libre!, a major proponent of the French free music movement.
Dogmazic's database contains roughly 2000 artists, largely but not exclusively from France. All of Dogmazic's music is licensed under terms that permit free redistribution, such as Creative Commons licenses and the Free Art License.
Dogmazic does not carry any advertising.
Launched on 10 June 2004, Dogmazic, called musique-libre.org until September 2006, was, until December 2012, a platform of downloading music under an open license. The site offered artists to spread their creations online, on the condition that these works are covered by one of the licenses applicable to the music. Labels promoting artists in “Freestyle” could also register on the site to discover their artists’ catalogues of music. In November 2011, the full catalogue of Dogmazic included 51,066 pieces by 4,406 bands and 325 labels under 35 different licenses.[1]
The site currently offers a blog devoted to music, free news on culture and a discussion forum.[2][3]
Archive music was unavailable from December 2012 to May 2015.[4][5]
The platform is based on Ampache.[citation needed]
