I agree with you to a point about the ND licenses, but I think NC is vaild and I choose to use it for my own releases.
To me, for the whole debate I think it is important to differentiate between two markets for content: the personal and the commercial. I am happy to release my works for independent artists to remix and for people to share amongst themselves - my plan is that my for sale offerings are compelling enough to elicit sales. Releasing it for commercial use is another story, however. I see no reason why I should give away freely what otherwise I can legitimately charge for?
The problem with personal copyright suits etc. these days is infringements are so hard to prove and enforce that the enforcement is redundant, commercial is completely different and if someone wants to use my song on an ad that will earn them money, then they should not be able to do so freely. If someone wants to use my song in a youtube video i'd like attribution, but i'm happy to release it for that because it encourages personal creativity. I see no reason why I should forgo income to encourage corporate creativity when they're used to paying?
have a look at http://www.ird.govt.nz Here in NZ the IRD (equiv of the irs) has most of its filing online. You guys don't know what you're missing out on to be honest. But yeah, go private enterprise!
