gotcha! here's the exasperating thing:
even *if* i publish my music under a copyleft and/or free license, or
just give it away royalty-free,
the RIAA *will* collect royalties for *all* music broadcast or shared
on the web.
so as an artist you could just give up and collect your money from
them, or donate it to them so they keep screwing the consumer as a
beggar-king, or you could just stop publishing music totally.
