Maybe more kindly Germans (or Latvians, or Poles etc.) hear your monochromatic post-punk. They get cool tunes, you get street cred in Frankfurt. Everyone wins. But say kindly German is not so kindly! Could allowing use of said song on said compilation result in your monochromatic post-punk song appearing in an expressionist promotional film without your consent? With nary a Euro to show for it?How to CYA?(edited for clarity, and to say thumbs up for ^^^FM's band)If it's not too late, maybe apply a Creative Commons license to your material. There are several different types that allow various degrees of control. My buddy is waaaay more dialed into these than I am, but it could be a good, cheap/free option.
