Well, I don't see it this way exactly. I think BY-SA and BY are fine for
important works as well.
I am not so much CC and non-CC. I am more Free non-Free.
We may need to grow in our understanding of misusing someone's words to imply
beliefs on their part which they do not hold.
And we may need to be more sophisticated in understanding that what someone
may think (as in have a thought) and be willing to express as a thought that
they had, may not be what they believe. And that even some things that thet
believe may not be sure, firm, and settled beliefs.
Surely, some real damaging users are happy to do the damage even if they break
copyright law to do so.
How much stuff is supposedly getting passed around the net today that the
owners of the copyrights on the works are supposedly not OK with and yet the
passing around is still going strong? Sometimes I think you can get something
spread faster by getting it banned or such.
Just a mix of thoughts there.
all the best,
drew
