Oops, in my post I forgot to deal with your mentioning of the Creative Commons licensing. There are some agencies working with this legal format, like for example Magntunes.com. One issue is that if your music is broadcasted by public service radio, and you live in a territory where that is compensated, a CC license will block your performance compensation income. For me living in Sweden this is a real issue. But on the other hand, a CC based agency, or a production music deal, may sell your music better and generate more dough by the 50/50 split. It all depends. My deal for providing production music is the usual 66 percent, if used here in Sweden, and the usual 50 percent if used abroad (the biggest market). That cut is of the price set by the agency for the client's license to use the music, not to be confused with legally stated performance compensation since both CC and prod music contracts write that off completely.
