"Dan Heller, in a series of three articles, claims to have found a number of
problems with the Creative Commons license, particularly within the realm of
photography. In the first article [1] he states there is a problem with
people relicensing copyrighted work under the CC license and having
subsequent users of that copyrighted work sued by the original owner. In the
second article [2] he fleshes out these ideas and states that there is an
increased risk of being sued if you use a CC license. Finally, in the third
article [3], he states that people can 'game the CC license' for profit, by
suing people who use your CC'd work which you have subsequently revoked from
the CC license. This series of blogs has generated a fair amount of
discussion on several photography forums, and I would like for the Slashdot
community to clarify matters."
