That's exactly how I feel.

It seems that too many of us are willing to use use everybody else's
output in a copyright-free way, but not so willing to give away our
output in the same way.

Our position at Hazard Records

http://www.lanzadera.com/hazard

is to state "NO RIGHTS RESERVED" on our records, so anyone can use them
freely and ever get millionaire with them if they are smart enough. We
know someone can try to copyright our work, since we haven't, but we do
not see who would be interested or what for.

Another position which we could consider is the "no rights reserved as
long as any derivative work does not reserve any rights either". Many
think this is a safer move, but we really do not care much, at the
moment.

Most of the other ways of seeing seem a mistake to us, and one that we
have also made from time to time.

I once phoned in anger a commercial radio station who were making fun of
one of my own records. The program was stupid enough, but calling them
was even more stupid. I did exactly what I was fighting against. Life
gives you surprises sometimes.

I have also seen too many sampling bands (and allegedly intelligent
people) complain for being sampled (and not being credited, for
example).

Sometimes, we should think it twice before speaking/writing.
