Creative Commons In the News

Posted by Zonk on from the remix-this dept.

An anonymous reader writes "MSNBC is running an article on a new licensing scheme being used to bring civility to the world of copyright." From the article: "Interest in Creative Commons licenses comes as artists, authors and traditional media companies begin to warm to the idea of the Internet as friend instead of foe, and race to capitalize on technologies such as file-sharing and digital copying." At the same time, mpesce writes "Boing Boing is reporting that the Australian equivalent of the Screen Actors Guild, the MEAA, has forbidden its members to work in Creative Commons productions. 'The MEAA Board decided that it could grant none of the dispensations sought by MOD Films, on the grounds that these would be inappropriate.'"

    Nope. You're making the claim, you bigoted twit. Prove yourself right. Actually, I suppose that in the spirit of scientific inquiry we should peer-review your hypothesis and attempt to reproduce your results but ... I doubt anyone cares enough to bother. And frankly, as a conservative white middle-class American engineer whose fiancee is from North Africa, I personally find your comment kind of, well ... stupid.
