One of my pet grumbles is that when I try to contact people who have licensed NC or ND, and who theoretically understand why CC licenses exist, I often even then cannot get a response. I think that one solution is to just license as much of one's own work BY as possible, and to liberally grant permissions when possible. The weight of samples created if only 10,000 people acted in this way would remove the worst shackles of permission culture from creativity. People are too cagey in general.

People are going to remix and repost your stuff no matter what, even without permission, so what do you stand to gain from saying it's ok? The one big thing that artists do stand to gain is that being a decent kind of dude helps create a friendly relationship with listeners. But you could get that vibe benefit just as easily by working at a soup kitchen (on-camera). For artists it goes to the question of what you get for using a permissive license like CC.

Everyone's being cagey until things "get sorted out" (which I don't think will ever happen). For established artists I can understand the hesitance. But for new artists it seems so ridiculous I can't even begin to understand it. Great insight and definitely the case.
