Obviously, it wouldn't apply to this particular product. Rubio did not want her products redistributed.

But there are a lot of others out there. And if there were a repository site - one that was well-run, and protected the rights of the artists - people might be more willing to allow redistribution.

I think a lot of Japanese freebie makers have been burned. People collected their freebies on CD and sold them on eBay, or claimed to have made them themselves and gave them away as freebies or sold them. That's why so many of them have restrictive readmes, and are reluctant to allow redistribution.
