May I suggest?

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.

Ya just gotta luv it, eh?
