Obama Requests Creative Commons for Presidential Debates
Presidential hopeful Barack Obama recently submitted a letter to the DNC asking for the Presidential debates to be licensed under the Creative Commons. This move would give everyone the freedom to share, recut, and edit the debates as they wish. "I am a strong believer in the importance of copyright, especially in a digital age. But there is no reason that this particular class of content needs the protection. We have incentive enough to debate. The networks have incentive enough to broadcast those debates. Rather than restricting the product of those debates, we should instead make sure that our democracy and citizens have the chance to benefit from them in all the ways that technology makes possible."
The last few debates I have watched, the answers were to poorly constructed, or circular, or not an answer at all.... ;)
That'll be because Bush was "debating" in them.
Obama/Osama used a well known Al-Qaeda trick: if you can't have something, destroy it.
Obama actually stole a web page that cost to its owner many hours of his time, please note also that the myspace page was built before Osama decided to run for president and the request to put a price on it came directly from Osama.
Poor USA, if Obama will become president, how many other things will he steal?
Shame on Osama/Obama. Shame on "Mr. Underbridge", your name is your life: you live under the bridge, and saying "the idiot still has his page" makes me understand that you will live forever under that bridge, until Osama or Obama will destroy the bridge, and your life too.
