What are some views on this topic? Is it right to lease a track to multiple artists as long as your upfront about it.

yes it is. It's your work and your right to control it(until the major labels rape you for it). You can "lease" it, just don't sell the rights to it.
IF ANYONE WANTS EVERY SINGLE SOUND ON THE YAMAHA MOTIF OR KORG TRITON(sampled in .wav), LET ME KNOW, MY BOY SELLS THEM......THANKS

The only experience I had with it was with one of the .coms that went bust in the late 90's. They leased 9 - 45 second spots for a CD rom to distrubute with thier product (which was software) I gave them a "buy" price which allowed them full rights and a Lease price which was $1000 less and allowed them to only use the material on the one product and I was able to retain the copyrights.

It's definitely right to do so. If you are going to sell a track, then you should be paid an enormous amount of money because you will no longer be able to receive any future compensation from the track. The new owner can then use it for a number of other potentially lucrative ventures- commercials, websites,albums, publishing, or wherever they choose to make a profit. If you do choose to sell, all of these factors should be considered in your pricing. I have a friend that works for one of the largest ad agencies and they don't lease; they buy but at a handsome price.
