just in the interests of clarifying something (i doubt it will serve 
much practical purpose here):

it is agreed that, in the absence of any other licensing information, 
that creative works will default to "All rights reserved" ... but out of 
interest, does posting a link with explicit permission to download (ie 
copy) a song, give up any copyrights *in that instance* ? because you 
are, in effect, lifting some of those implied copyright restrictions 
(otherwise it would be against the law to make a copy of it, wouldn't it?).
