So, this is an odd question I thought of the other day while I was thinking of 
other angles that I hope to remember and post about as well. (I think one was 
re BY-NC-SA (hey Greg!)

So, you build on a BY-NC work and register your copyright. You license your 
new work also BY-NC.

Someone violates the copyright on your work. You sue. You are entitled to 
statutory damages right? You collect. Are you now guiilty of violating the NC 
licneses of the works yours built upon?

Is that train of thought clear?

all the best,

drew
