Lessig Proposes "Creative Commons"

Posted by timothy on from the please-resurrect-writenow dept.

cmuncey writes: "Lawrence Lessig's newest effort is profiled this morning in a SFGate.com article this morning. Creative Commons will offer customizable flexible intellectual property licenses that can be used by artists, writers, and others in moving their works from copyright to public domain in a controlled manner. The aricle also cites plans to create a 'conservancy' for what looks like orphanware. This is a joint work of Lessig and people from MIT, Duke, Harvard and Villanova."

    Will y'all quit trotting out this communist crap over and over and over. The damn bolsheviks kept thinking they was all smart and doing this for the greater good, and they just knew they had it all figured out.....

    And it ended up being a blatant power grab. Just like this Free Blah Open Blah Shared Blah will end up (is ending up, if you just open your eyes).
