A CC First

Posted on Sunday 19 March 2006

Creative Commons Weblog: “The first known court decision involving a Creative Commons license was handed down on March 9, 2006 by the District Court of Amsterdam. The case confirmed that the conditions of a Creative Commons license automatically apply to the content licensed under it.”

Very interesting to read the press release quotations from Paul Keller, Public Project Lead for Creative Commons in the Netherlands and Lawrence Lessig, Creative Commons CEO & Chairman.

Neither of them, or anyone from the CC organization ever contacted me of their own accord, offered support or thanked me for bringing this suit. The thanks I have received from independent artists and producers of intellectual property on the other hand, has been very rewarding.

    I don’t understand this. All kinds of sites are writing about it, including CC and you still want more out of it? I am under the impression that you are using this for promotion more than anything else, right now.

    Also, you have told in an older show yourself that you had no interest to call like the EFF and Creative Commons because of your old EFF ‘issue’ when you were still working at MTV.

    And wasn’t it Lawrence Lessig himself who offered help? Cory Doctorow also responded to that EFF ‘issue’.

    The came to you, even when you said in public you don’t think they would be of any help. Now you want even more?

    Oh stop the BS Adam, you can mark your pictures with “no commercial use allowed” and you will get the same court decision – no big deal here.

    Creative Commons is BS anyway – no one needs it. It was created for the sole reason to justify the public jobs of the creators.

    MP: You should listen to those shows again. I mentioned several times that I wondered why I had not heard from CC or EFF. Corey doesn’t work for EFF or speak on their behalf.

    Lessig told me he was ‘watching’ with interest, but not a peep from him since either.

    The only reason for this post is the irony of the CC press release and quotes from messrs. Lessig and Keller.

    If I didn’t have the resources to follow through on protection of my property, would this press release ever have been written?

    AC,

    Just proves your recent “there are ‘doers’ and ‘talkers’” comment in a recent podcast.

    You did a good thing for the rest of us.

    Take care.

    @ Tuotrams : your missing one essential thing non-commercial + attribution. standard All rights reserved doesn’t cover that. So CC is better!

    @ AC : You know that Cory worked for EFF for years and only recently stoped working there. But indeed he can’t speak on their behalf any longer, but that’s not the point. The point is that people DID respond to the matter.

    Irony I couldn’t find in the piece. What made you think so?

    There is a saying in the North East of England:

    “Shy bairns get nowt”

    Do we think Adam should have said nothing?

    If somebody did a press release concerning a case *I* had undertaken entirely using my own resources, I’d expect them to at least get in touch, congratulate me, maybe even show me the press release before it went out. It just seems a little more considerate that way. IMHO.

    Actually the more court precedent we have (in all countries) then the more credibility CC will have. As the case law history builds…and hopefully in our favor…CC will become a cornerstone we can depend upon.

    AC is correct – if this had been in the US the EFF would be all over it like a rash. The fact that it is in a lower court in a “smaller” country means that “watching with intrest” was all they did. I agree it’s dissappointing. Just watch the first case in the US will be quoting this prcedent left, right and centre. AC was not doing this for self promotion – did he take out full banner ads? Did he issue press releses? Did Podshow? If promotion was what he was after then that’s what he would have done. But no, all he did was talk about it on his own Podcast. And guess what the DSC is all about? Essentially Adam’s life- oh and cowbell.
    Boing!

    Lawrence Lessig once told me:
    ‘Creative Commons is not allowed to represent people legally, but I do know someone who I think would be willing to help pro bono (at no charge).’

    There is copyright infringement with one of my songs. Happened month ago. I am most interested to find the limits of the NC-attribute.

    Adam, I think you were right with does and talkers. And it’s good that you checked whether CC holds up in court, Thanks!

    But there are two things I want to point out:

    + It’s great that CC exists and people can make use of it. It’s great that Lessig & Co (dunno them) have taken the responsibility to give something incredibly useful to the community. Yes, they are doers, too! Soooo, have you explicitly thanked them for helping them in your lawsuit? If so, you indeed have good manners, Mr Curry!

    + Yes, they have not explicitly thanked you. It would be nice if they would have done it. But then again, remember all your listeners who provide feedback, ideas, etc. to you. You know (and I know) that you cannot play or credit them all. You may also hurt people unintentionally by not mentioning their valuable help for your good cause.

    My suggestion to you, AC: Wait a while for a personal note. In the meantime, be happy about being the “podcasting guru” and having curry.podshow,com linked from the press release – THAT is true advertising!

    March 20, 2006 | 4:43 pm
     

    “the resources to follow through on protection ” —- bullshit! Your main motivation – in 99% – was to get publicity for yourself and for your company. Anyway this was just lawsuit in tiny country -and it was unimportant for USA. Publicity was your main motivation, Curry. Stop lying otherwise!

  14.  
    March 20, 2006 | 4:57 pm
     

    Tuotrams : Adam Curry fucked up by editing his wikipedia entry, so by this lawsuit he wanted to get his good karma in blogosphere back. This has nothing to do whether “Creative Commons is BS anyway” or not. It is just for publicity.

    It does seem odd the way that article looks like they were right there with you, when they didn’t offer to get involved or anything.

    On the plus side, you were billed as a podcasting “guru”. :)

    Yo Adam, long time no here. I finally left Chicago and headed west to Seattle. I’lll be in San Fransico March 24th for a weekend trip.

    You got my full support regarding your case….history works in your favor….remember.-Adu Jahmal, Innovator
