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."
There's also a lot to not like about him.
Yet to take a stand on any issue
He doesn't even have the balls to put forth his political opinion, and yet he wants to be President?
He's from Illinois politics
Corruption is the way of the government in Illinois. I'm not sure anyone who's been through the Illinois political system has a clean past.
Is liked for no reason
Seriously.
I wonder if I use bold in my signature, people will notice my posts.
I think it's more of a "Sorry, we asked you to make a financial offer, but the price you quoted is too high, so we're going to go to MySpace and have them give us the page for free." But who's counting?
