my bottom line is this... if lessig, mansick, and the rest of them think that paying to create content that will be given away for free is such a great idea and growth market, then why aren't any of them investing in record labels, or film production companies?
hmmmmm... because it's a lot easier to take, than to create... and it's a lot easier to give something away that has value, when you don't have to pay to make it...
They haven't, and name one case EFF, Publicknowledge, CreativeCommons, or TechDirt has taken in favor of creators.
Hell, name a case where Creative Commons has stood up for its licensees? You'd think, what if a 16 year old girl put her pictures on Flickr under a Creative Commons license and a multi-national corporation used them in an ad campaign?
Creative Commons position? Sorry you didn't understand the terms of the license, we're gonna try on work on those in the future.
But don't worry, they're working on a new fundraising campaign at the moment to raise a couple more million dollars, maybe they'll cover that aspect of their reverse EULA's for creators.
Bottom line, if you are infringing content, you have plenty of organizations who are willing to help you pro bono. If you are actually helping create content, you're on your own.
