that is being resisted but strong commercialism. So the use of a photo
by a local community group in a publication from which they hope to
raise a few quid is NOT the same as the use of the image by WALMART made
into posters or greetings cards. Similarly a band playing a song in a
club from which they get a cut of the door money is not the same as
Toyota using the song in an advertisement.

Under CC BY-NC(-SA) it is.


That isn't the point. Walmart and Toyota know they are 'strictly from commercial'

the local band, and the community group know that they aren't, and should they have any doubts they can fire off an email.






Commercial Rights is not what the NC Commons is about at all.

Such misconceptions about the legal functioning of the license are an
excellent argument to change the labeling of the present CC NC
licenses. And yes, if possible add a new license that fits these
conceptions and which legally works as expected for a sufficiently
free non-commercial commons. But that does not mean that artists
should not also have the option to license under the present NC->CRR
terms: they do allow a (very limited) re-use by private individuals.



Most of us from the NC camp discussing this know very well what the NC license says, what it forbids, and what it allows. We also know that it was written by liberal lawyers, from a Libertarian background and that as such it won't make a perfect mesh with the non-commercial Commons, and that it is unlikely to be fixed for doctrinaire reasons. *shrug* Meanwhile comrade we'll make do with what we have:


Лучшее - враг хорошего


As stated above those working within the non-commercial Commons know what NC means, and don't have any problems with it.
