I wasn't actually thinking of CC at all. I was thinking of music that hadn't been placed into the jurisdiction of collection societies - or that had been wrest back from it. There would be a silver lining to forcing small-fry Internet radio stations to choose between going off the air, or webcasting purely royalty-free music. Royalty-free music would become far more popular, and the choice of big label+collection society vs self-publishing would become a little easier. So, I won't be shedding crocodile tears that ASCAP et al are pricing their music out of reach of small webcasters. Instead, I'll be hoping Pandora, Last FM, etc. will see sense and instead provide a 100% royalty free webcasting service. After all, now that they've figured out their listeners' musicial tastes based on proprietary music, they know what free music to recommend. ;-) >Thanks for the links to Jamendo.
