I should add that what I said about opting out only applies to the
licenses that allow commercial use. The NC licenses specifically
preserve the right to collect through standardized licensing schemes.
So, if you're a webcaster and you use only CC works that don't restrict
to NC, then yes, you can stay away from the CRB/Soundexchange system.
If you want to use works that are NC, then the rest of the discussion on
this thread immediately becomes relevant.
This is not legal advice, etc.
