Good point Frank.

IANAL, but Creative Commons nc-licenses says that music released with it 
cannot be used commercially without permission.

By uploading your music on myspace or whatever and signing their 
agreement you're giving them this permission. So there's no 
contradiction. And no risks at all, IMHO.

Artist that are still publishing their music with a record label should 
be more concerned, and this is true even for most of the so-called 
independent labels. It's not uncommon that niche artists that sold no 
more than  5000-10000 copies of each album in the past can't publish 
their *own* music on the web because the music isn't their anymore.

Ciao,
