It is not, i licence my stuff CC attribution, sharealike,

non-commercial. So, if you want to use my stuff, go ahead but dont

forget to mention me ;-)

And if you see a chance to make money with it (and i certainly do not

speak about a free beer and a 20 buckaroos or so for a gig, or even

selling a hundred selfmade CDs a year }:-] )

Well now, this is like some stupid popstar, that does not mention the

musicians, that played his recording on the CD-cover.

So if Trent Reznor would take your tracks to illustrate the next Oliver

Stone Movie and would not trow you a single cent (from the  some

10thousends he gets for it) and would not even mention your name but

claim to be the sole creator of the soundtrack that would be OK then...

Not right, for i would not use the corrupt and stupid "copyright" law to

 get my claims in the first place but ask  the user of my stuff for some

respect personally without a lawyer involved.
There really is something between the established industry-slavery and

total unawareness of authorship.
