Sorry, to bump an old thread, but I want more feedback about this.  With a cc-by-sa, what are the pros and cons of other people selling my music without requiring my permission?

I'm sure a lot of you have experience distributing your music under a Creative Commons license so I'd like some of your thoughts.  My band finished recording a full length album recently, and we are planning on releasing it under CC-BY-NC-SA.


Maybe you should advertise the option to relicense cc-by-sa for alternative radio stations or people publishing compilations. NC can be a showstopper there.

All the best for your band effort!

Our plan is to sell our album with a "Name your price" deal.  But if you choose to pay over a certain amount (like $12 or so) you also get a T-shirt and a sticker (or some other sort of gifts).  We have done something like this in the past with our demos.  We gave them away for free but also accepted donations.  A lot of people paid us nothing, but a few people were quite generous!

How do you make money with this sort of license?  Has anyone done something similar with their pricing model?  Are there other pricing models that you prefer?  What were your experiences, and how were the results?
