I value freedom a great deal, and if one of my songs someday 
happens to contain visceral allusions to semen on someone's 
face, or a redneck antagonist killing an Asian character (would 
that make my song racist toward Asians, or toward rednecks?) 
then that's the way it's going to be.  Jamendo can kiss my 
American ass as well.

I don't think impeaching this one service's terms of use 
impeaches the concept as a whole, though.

They can do what they want, but I'd rather just put my music out 
there on the web.  It's not like it's going to be popular enough 
to cost much in terms of bandwidth... I use way more bandwidth 
with my Mandrake RPM repository than any of my bits of music 
have ever used.  Marketing can be done through things like 
myspace or CC music aggregation sites or whatever's replaced 
mp3.com (note: talking about marketing my own music here, not 
marketing free music as an ideal which I think will run up 
against people's actual reasons for listening to music.)
