If I actually wanted to stop all commercial use of my work, that might help,
except for compulsary licenses which I can't touch no matter what I try to
do.

What I would like to find a way to do is to stop, or at least limit as much
as
possible, the use of my work for commercial purposes without payment to me,
by people who "do not play nice."

I don't see a way to get any closer to what I want within the present scope
of
the spectrum of rights that CC let's me choose from.

I do think the additional options I proposed whill take me closer to what I
want though.

I am not even sure I have that option as I have been putting my stuff up at
OpenSource Audio:

http://www.archive.org/audio/collection.php?collection=opensource_audio

http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=creator%3A%22drew%20Roberts%22

IIRC, the agreement I have with them is that they can keep the stuff
published
with the license I first put it up with. I have no great issue with trying to
patch up what I have already done. I will live with it.

Do you know of any reason why SA sould not cover the same uses as NC? Please
discuss if you choose to answer.

all the best,

drew
