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.
