In case people haven't seen this, Techradar has a good article on CC by Marco Fioretti

http://www.techradar.com/news/internet/web/the-case-for-and-against-creative-commons-527697

Not only does it include some very cool examples of CC use (how had I missed the Some Rights Reserved shop?) - it also has a good rundown of some of the pros and cons of CC in different markets.

Best of all is its excellent discussion of the problems/dilemmas of implementing CC in areas without a strong copyright tradition (Asia, South America etc) - complete with commentary by some of the more prominent faces in the OA international community (you sound very intelligent, Carolina).
