-        for any songs prior to this, they were all either released by me (in which case, i honestly
-        don't mind), or in collaboration with chill people who i don't see having an issue with it.
-        do be sure to ask them about it, though!
+        if the song you want to use is <em>not</em> released by me (i.e. under a record label), their usage rights
+        will likely trump whatever i'd otherwise have in mind. i'll try to negotiate some nice terms, though!

-        i love the idea of other creators using my songs in their work, so if you do happen to use
-        my stuff in a work you're particularly proud of, feel free to send it my way!
+        i believe that encouraging creative use of artistic works is better than stifling any use at all.
