So what does that mean exactly?If i release a track with Creative Commons License does that mean that someone else can take my track and do what ever he wants with it without notify me first.

Depends which kind of CCL you select. They are different (goes from everything to nothing so to say).

That's clear as water, right?

So what are you planning to do with this specific track you found? And do you think it is allowed? Under what conditions?

In case you are considering publishinf under CreativeCommons, better read this first:

I got in touch with the composer and we agreed to make a song together but when i saw the creativecommons under her songs i was curious to know what kind of license that is.I contacted her again some hours ago and told her that with that license anyone can take her songs and do whatever.It turns out she had no idea about the risk and now if you go in her soundcloud page she changed it.Thanks for the help

Publishing does not require anyone to attach a license. By the 1886 Berne Convention you obtain all copyright at the moment you publish something. But when you do add a license, it better be the right one.

Sometimes I publish little thingamabobs as a programmer. Then I attach the DBAD license :

Being a dick includes - but is not limited to - the following instances:

1a. Outright copyright infringement - Don't just copy this and change the name.
1b. Selling the unmodified original with no work done what-so-ever, that's REALLY being a dick.
1c. Modifying the original work to contain hidden harmful content. That would make you a PROPER dick.

2. If you become rich through modifications, related works/services, or supporting the original work, share the love. Only a dick would make loads off this work and not buy the original work's creator(s) a pint.

3. Code is provided with no warranty. Using somebody else's code and bitching when it goes wrong makes you a DONKEY dick. Fix the problem yourself. A non-dick would submit the fix back.

And that is no joke. Or maybe it is... Well, I'm not a lawyer and I don't care too much for these things. Got more important things to waste my time & energy with
