Pro
-exposure for free
-links to your page
-SA stops them to use it where big money is involved. (They'd buy a
license from you instead of putting latest hollywood movies under sa)
-easier to manage for small broadcasters of all kinds.

Con
-Other people can distribute physical devices of your work and earn
money. You better offer these yourself, too. If you can't afford
pressing a cd, that would blockbust the music world... maybe someone
else is going to do it for you.
