Lessig Proposes "Creative Commons"

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

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."

    No you're not.

    Finally, an opportunity to burn some Karma and harp yet again on Slashdot's obsession with Lessig.

    For all intensive purposes, "whom" is no longer a word. That begs the question, "who cares"?
