Creative Commons Responds To ASCAP Letter

Posted by Soulskill on from the you-wouldn't-like-us-when-we're-angry dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Drew Wilson at ZeroPaid has a followup to the story about ASCAP telling its members that organizations like EFF and Creative Commons are undermining copyright. A spokesperson from Creative Commons said, 'It's very sad that ASCAP is falsely claiming that Creative Commons works to undermine copyright. Creative Commons licenses are copyright licenses — plain and simple, without copyright, these tools don't even work.' He also said, 'Many tens of thousands of musicians, including acts like Nine Inch Nails, the Beastie Boys, David Byrne, Radiohead, and Snoop Dogg, have used Creative Commons licenses to share with the public.' Many ASCAP members are already expressing their disappointment with the ASCAP letter over at Mind the Gap. Sounds like ASCAP will be in damage control for a while."

    I got even with my ex-california boss after he did not pay my last week of work. BANG.

    Ooops I've said too much .

    Are you just on a one-man crusade to make all gun owners look like retarded man-monkeys? Because you're doing a wonderful job. Between this and your previous statements about flashing your gun to make sure the cashier honoured the terms of sale that you deemed valid, and other idiotic comments, you should probably be locked up for your own safety before the real gun owners take you to task.
