Wrong. Wrong. Wrong royal_wee. I do dig the Castles; however, if this article is accurate, then CC should just admit that they disregarded the Creative Commons License, give the credit (or chuck the tracks) and that's it. If there's more to it than that, they should step up and fix the situation if they want to keep performing anything that utitlizes someone's material that they inapproprately used. Just because you want everything to be freely accessible to everybody in any case doesn't mean everyone wants that. I think the Creative Commons licenses are cool, and they encourage sharing of material, but not everyone wants their stuff used for someone else's commercial gain, and at least if the the license says give credit, then freaking give credit where it is due. How hard is that?It's way easier than say, making Paul's Boutique. Dang.
