Not exactly. It's less of an illogical axiom than a
realization that overly-broad assertions can have the
side-effect of totally undoing the benefit you were
trying to achieve - the devil's in the details
so-to-speak. Jammin' Jenny is not a lawyer so she
doesn't understand the wide-ranging implications of
using the NC license. When she clicks that radio
button she's probably thinking, "Hell no, I don't want
some dude making money by selling MY music!" What she
doesn't realize, though, is that she's effectively
making her music off-limits to the honest webcaster
who can help her music get heard, too.
