Creative Commons License Upheld by Dutch Court

musicon writes "As seen on Groklaw, a recent court decision upheld the the Creative Commons license in the Netherlands: 'The Creative Commons licenses are quite new, so there has been very little in the way of case law so far, so this is a significant development. The ruling rejected a 'the license wasn't clear' defense, particularly for sophisticated entities, and it upheld the license as binding without the licensee having to agree or even to have knowledge of the terms of the license.' You can read successful plaintiff Adam Curry's blog on the ruling too."

Spoken like a true idiot American. Not everyone here is rich. In fact most of us are having a pretty hard time economically because wages haven't gone up in quite a while and prices on nearly everything have skyrocketted. I don't think that's what other countries around the world really want as their model. Yet another example of why it sucks to live in America: the idiocy in the air is thick as pea soup and smelly as rotten eggs.
