I like the idea of Creative Commons, but I am wondering if CC will be as successful as GPL? In my perspective, IP rights are the interest allocation of stakeholders. Free software movement (Open source) supplied another choice for other companies (ex: IBM) to refuse binary use software ( typically called proprietary or commercial software). Therefore, it established a new business model. I can image, like other successful internet website, as long as CC gathers enough supporters and builds a uniform standard, something magic may happen. But there should be a potential business model to support this great idea. Since I don’t know much about how CC works around the world, this class and blog give me the flavor of CC. I will keep my eye on this interesting CC copyright issue.
