The following is part of a post I made to the icommons list.

We have licensed several pieces under CC only to find that the artist
we had signed to our label had already registered said pieces with the
Australian Performing Rights Association and in one instance,
publishing rights were held by a large, international company.

In such cases, it's not clear whether CC licenses can be revoked... If
so, perhaps such information needs to be more up-front. Couldn't find
anything applicable in the FAQ <http://creativecommons.org/faq/>.

Is it possible to revoke these licenses? We have had 1000s of
downloads of these pieces now. Tricky!
