An Independent Artist creates a song file, and, say it's an mp3 file. She licenses it with the Creative Commons Project. The code, the
license information is posted to her web site. She then uploads it to a
reputable repository such as www.archive.org . Now, she can alert
everyone as to her intentions by listing those songs she wants on the
Internet. Along with that, is a request for her fans to alert her if
they come across songs that are not on her "approved for Internet
posting" list of material. A rough and ready protocol, that relies on
an infrastructure/architecture that is facilitated immensely by the
wonderful work of the Creative Commons Project.

I do strongly suggest taking advantage of the free-as-in-someone-else-is-paying-for-it hosting, bandwidth, and curation offered by http://archive.org and similar. Most importantly for this discussion is curation -- if it turns out a work shouldn't have been uploaded, the Archive is responsible for removing it.

Note that archive.org also publishes verification metadata as specified by <http://creativecommons.org/technology/embedding> and <http://creativecommons.org/technology/nonweb>, though mp3 and ogg files hosted there don't actually have license claims embedded yet -- soon, long time coming. Not that anyone uploading content to archive.org has to worry about any of this.
