Development of Creative Commons licenses

[Francesco Poli <invernomuto AT paranoici.org>]

Hi all,
Section 3(a)(3) of CC-by-nc-sa-v4.0draft1 states:

[...]
>     (3) [If You Share the Licensed Work, You may not impose any
>     effective technological measures on the Licensed Work that restrict
>     the ability of a recipient of the Licensed Work from You to
>     exercise the rights granted to that recipient under the terms of
>     this Public License.]
>
>         CC note: This provision is bracketed to denote that it requires
>         additional public input, including further development of use
>         cases. Proposals will be discussed during the public comment
>         period on v4.0d1.
[...]

This is the infamous anti-DRM (or anti-TPM, if you prefer) clause,
probably the most controversial part of CC-v3.0 licenses.
It does not seem to have changed significantly.

As I said previously [1], I strongly recommend that this clause be
enhanced, so that it *explicitly* allows parallel distribution.

I hope this suggestion may be implemented in the next draft.
