I don't know. I'm not as familiar with the music legal technicalities
as the software stuff. Maybe someone can answer the technicalities.

But someone could be selling your song right now on their website as
an individual download. Rhapsody could make it available as part of
their $9.95 a month subscription with unlimited music. iTunes could
be downloading it and charging people 80 cents or whatever they charge.

So stopping aggregates and compilations is sort of like turning the
faucet off on the Titanic.
