So let's imagine that my song gets really famous, and I've used some samples that were Creative Commons or Attribution (and were properly attributed). I've done everything by the book.

But then, an owner of the sound decides to change their license to Attribution Noncommercial, or deletes their account. Now I'm out of compliance with the law and/or my attribution link no longer works.

Is this just the risk we take when using samples, or is there something I'm missing?
