Creative commons for taskboy? Yes!

I'm considering licenses all of the music content on this site through creative commons. It's already free to download and I've never refused anyone the right to reuse any of the material.

Anyone have any thoughts about this? Any hidden downsides to this kind of licensing?

Update: I've updated the licensing on the music page. I've also updated the ID3 info on each file so that there's some link back to this site. I'm the cutting edge of 1999!

Go for it. It's a favor for those who want to download and use the music, letting them know at a glance what they can and can't do without having to ask you about it first. The licenses are flexible enough that you can pick the combo that suits the style of use and re-use you want people to adhere to regarding your stuff. (I use non-commercial / attribution / share-alike.)
not for me

I retain all the rights to my music. Not that I have anything against creative commons, but I am not sure that's what I want to do. So until I am, I don't!
