Hi CC mailing list,

I wanted to say something about collection societies and the way i  
see things to CC. The problem looks to be that the contract that the  
artist signs when they join the collection society does not agree  
with the CC one. From what I understand myspace is also in conflict  
with the artist contract. When i look at the collection societies  
website I don't see much bad information about myspace, yet I do see  
some not so good press about Creative Commons. The Jamendo service  
seems to be a far more natural and attractive way to go than myspace.  
Does CC have to be a part of the collection system, isn't the system  
just going to fall apart in time ?

regards,
Jamison
