If MySpace or whoever is hosting your music, then of course they need to be given the right to do just that: distribute your music through their website. If MySpace is ad-funded, they are a commercial company and are basically using the music hosted there in a commercial way: to get people to view their website and the advertisments shown there. But nobody forced you to upload your music to their site, they didn't upload it on their own and so I don't quite see, how MySpace did something wrong? Or didn't they have ads when you uploaded? Ah, the wonders of Creative Commons' "non-commercial" clause... Ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org_ __goto10.org__
