art released under cc license

I've decided to release all the art currently on my website under the non-commercial attribution share-alike license from the Creative Commons.

I feel very strongly about copyright law, and tend to go along with the new wave ideals of the internet generation - everything should (and will be since i know where to look) free for the taking. atleast everything digital. and quite a lot can be made digital these days.

So everytime I buy something digital (like my own art work or Photoshop or Audion) it's because I understand that without financial support these products wouldn't exist. Now, software and art are different, and so is music (I only buy cds at shows, directly from the band). Yet the same principles apply- you should pay for something that you enjoy.

I think there has to be someway to make a living and give out your artwork free. Maybe I can be the poster-child.
