Mike (and group)

My personal opinion is to decline. Stock credit statement or not, in myeperience your work will be associated with the cause (ironically it mayhave been better if the music was used with NO credit).

As to limiting what can be used based on context and message I would sayan emphatic yes - control (as best you can) what your work is associatedwith.

I talk from experience of having material (photographic, not musical)used trhis way

Just my 2d's worth.

I've been contacted by someone who wants to use my music on one of hisYouTube videos.  Normally I say 'fair enough' and only ask that I amcredited, but this thing there is a slight difference.

The guy is an advocate of views I find ethically repugnant.  Hisstock credit does say that others whose work is credited in his videos donot necessarily agree with his views, etc, but somehow that doesn't seemenough.

Do you think I ought to limit who can use what I produce on the basis ofwhat they are saying?
