Sorry to hear about that. Of course, misrepresenting your work as their work isn’t specifically about CCMixter…. that’s something they could do with any way they have of getting your material.

There was a music professor named Larry Fritts at the University of Iowa who released a whole bunch of blues backing tracks into the public domain. A few months later he discovered someone was selling copies of his tracks on CD, claiming to be the author.

I always thought if he’d used CC-Attribution he would have been much better protected. He could have sued the pants off his usurper for not attributing to him.

And so I hope you’ll reconsider. Licensing via CC licenses doesn’t make dishonest dealing easier on ethically challenged people: it makes it harder. Since you’re giving many uses of your music for free, they’re harder-pressed to defend the infringing uses.

i know bob, just leaves a bad bad vibe.like i said, this place is cool,with some really gifted folk ..aaahhh just a shame.
