Hi Ian
One of the great things CC has going for it (as well as licence terms) is t=
he simple system of badges/flags that people can attach to their work
One of reasons (and it may not be greatest) that people ride rough-shod ove=
r copyright is that they haven't a clue what the license really means. Equa=
lly true of music, literature, software EULAs, video etc.=0A
It won't solve the copyright problem, but if there were a set of (say) five=
 simple badges at least people might understand (or be without excuse)
