Dogmazic was created in December 2004 by the Bordeaux-based Association Musique libre!, a major proponent of the French free music movement.
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.
Also, for ethical reasons, Dogmazic chooses to completely refuse any financial support to their company through advertising, instead preferring donations from visitors and self-financing from within their community.
[citation needed] In France, Dogzamic have recently been conflicting with SACEM, who disagree with some of the licensing of the music uploaded to the website.
