Hi everyone,
I am not sure if someone mentioned this already. A popular HK blogger
littleoslo reported a creative commons violation controversy
http://www.littleoslo.com/cnt/home/?p=1053
It was about Virgin Mobile using CC licensed photos for a commercial
marketing campaign. A brief explanation and response was given by CC
Australia http://creativecommons.org.au/node/126
On the positive side, this is an example that if you allow commercial use
of your CCed material, it is possible to be used a sizable martketing
campaign and you can get free promotion through attribution.
On the negative side, if some of your friends like to post group photos
online, You need to know what conditions the photos are licensed under
(http://flickr.com/photos/sesh00/515961023/). If you are the person who
like to post photos with your friends online and you want to CC them,
choose an appropriate license and make sure that your friends understand
and agree with it.

In that bygone, panoramic era, people were so insignificant;
In this trivial era, people are all the more insignificant.
