well, if there are answers to your reservations, i

in this section of the "Share Music" license (which at least *sounds*
like a good idea, don't you think?):
"# You may not exercise any of the rights granted to You in Section 3
above in any manner that is primarily intended for or directed toward
commercial advantage or private monetary compensation. The exchange of
the Work for other copyrighted works by means of digital file-sharing or
otherwise shall not be considered to be intended for or directed toward

no payment of any monetary compensation in connection with the exchange
of copyrighted works."
that is really vague, and open to interpretation, and unless you can be
more specific about the ways in which you think your music could be used
by the forces of evil, then i think your concerns will have to go
unanswered ... but the fact that the Beastie Boys have released music
under a CC license should relieve you somewhat (cos i'm sure that out of
any world-renowned band, they'd be so unlikely to expose any of their
music to use by the forces of social/environmental/political evil) ;)
Thanks, I feel better now. That _does_ partly answer some of my reservations.
I thought we were probably talking the same language. ;)
