I’ve heard stories like this where the lawyers and (especially) agents get freaked at the mention of sane alternatives.

Hey, all:
	
I just wanted to introduce myself, and let you guys know
that the archive of this list has been an invaluable
resource to me for the last couple months.
	
'Round about mid-September, I decided to take the
plunge and move the entire catalog of our label to
Sampling+ licenses. What this entailed was getting
yelled at by my lawyer, yelled at by the actual
owner of the label (who is conveniently my wife,
and thus someone I'm used to getting yelled at
by...), getting yelled at by the artists, and just
generally getting yelled at for several weeks,  as
I fought what seemed to be an uphill battle,
trying to explain what this was and why it  would
be a Good Thing.
	
Well, all's well that ends well, and our first two
actual releases under the CC Sampling+ license
are right around the corner. The first record,
called \"in a haze\" by the noise artist s.sturgis,
will be released on Nov. 23rd,  and is at the
pressing plant as I type this. 
	
We will be changing the licenses of all our releases
to Sampling or Sampling+ as each one gets repressed,
unless the artist in question has strictly forbidden it
(and we do have one that won't toe the line).
	
Here's the page where we've put up the info:

And here's my blog entry where I first announced
the initiative, which is similar but more long-winded.
	
So, I just wanted to thank you guys for all your hard
work, on behalf  of my artists and myself. I am of the
considered opinion that, while the Sampling+ license
just legally allows what people are going to do
anyway, it creates a new perception of the label
and the artists on it, and in this business perception
is everything.
