Creative commons

I think this has definite potential. Many's the time I wanted to use some copyrighted material for some trivial purpose, maybe like advanced clip art, and would have much preferred using something like this to stealing some copyrighted picture.

From the student's perspective, I think--though I have no proof for this--most people would rather do something legal than illegal, as long as it's not too difficult (complicated, expensive). Creative commons can make it reasonable to be legal.

I'm a little concerned about the images at the beginning of the first video. I strongly believe in copyright laws, though I agree they could be more flexible... just as long as the elephant in chains is not depicting all intellectual property. I'm no socialist, and don't agree that intellectual property should be held in common, particularly when no other kind of property normally is.
