I was talking about distributing it for free while retaining some 
control over the content.  Giving it away forever is easy, just put it 
into the public domain and you've effectively given it to everyone.  You 
take steps to control the content in order to preserve what you wanted 
it to be about.

I'd be very angry if Bush decided one of my songs was going to be used 
in an election ad.  I'd be pissed.  I realize that would never happen, 
but you get the point.

Oh yes, and the sampling licenses are awesome, this is exactly what I'm 
talking about.  Although a DJ specific license would be helpful to clear 
things up as well.
