It is important to remember that the value of any licensing service will be in the actual service it provides, networking, connections, promotion and editing will all play key roles in determining how a service is used by both bloggers and by buyers. Let's hope someone can find the right balance. And no, the calls to reuse content are not uncommon at all, I get fewer due to my CC license, but I do get them regularly and see my work on a lot of sites, with attribution of course. Few would have the guts to plagiarize me...
