[cc-community] anarchist take on copyright and CC

The joke is an anarchist taking the paper to court over commercial  
use, and the company pointing to the latter part of the license and  
saying, "We don't respect the author's IP claim, so this is free for  
us."

And the court having to figure out if that constitutes a dual license  
or not.

Point being, I think its irresponsible and confusing not to live what  
you preach, so I'd say use CC and respect copyright or claim copyright  
is worthless and don't use anything related to it. I can respect both  
stances, but I can't respect an attempt to straddle them with no  
reasoning for doing so other than to keep your work out of the hands  
of people you've arbitrarily said shouldn't use it -- which is exactly  
the kind of abuse copyright allows.
