Development of Creative Commons licenses

[Davide Fugazza <davidefugazza AT mac.com>]

Hi Bram,
sorry for the late reply.
I am not a lawyer, so I can't give legal advice, but I've been working 
on something very similar.
We have a website of free music (mostly CC licensed) where files are 
uploaded by users (registration is required), therefore we needed a 
system to report licensing abuse and to (temporarily) hide the 
"suspect" file.
I don' want to speak about technical issues here, write me off list if 
you are interested.
Definitely, we went with a solution as Glenn and Rob suggested.
See the AGNULA Libre Music website at http://muzik.agnula.org, part of 
the AGNULA project (http://www.agnula.org).
Good luck,
davide
