Interesting analysis.

BTW, the caption says Efroni is a fellow of the Max Planck Institute,
not Standord (it's just a Stanford Law School website).

One thing that confuses me is the commercial/non-commercial references.
Isn't it true that this photo was release CC-By, and then later changed
to CC-By-NC?

So basically, the photographer is arguing that CC should have made clear
to him that the NC term would've protected him (and his subject) from
Virgin's exploitation, right?

I'm not sure that's as baseless as the article suggests, although I
personally feel that using NC to avoid model-release issues is a bad
precedent all around. There really needs to be a different system for that.

Cheers,
Terry
