i am still undecided about whether a no commercial license on some media works would be an entirely bad thing

if someone makes music and they want to make money selling a cd for example

licensing the music so others cannot commercially redistribute it so that they can make money(or more money) out of the music they created seems fair enough.
as long as people are aloud to share it

its not censoring the music in any way
people can still share it just not commercially

it means though that as they have a exclusive right to use it commercially they could make a decent amount of money selling physical cd's/dvd's or performing live and you could say the same for photographers being able to sell physical copies of there images for example.

as not being able to commercially redistribute media works
in my opinion anyway is not vitally important(correct me if i am wrong)

maby its worth sacrificing the right to commercially redistribute so that artists can get a decent income
as many due to file sharing are struggling to do so
