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.
