discussion of the Creative Commons Metadata work

It's pretty cool, although I dont get why the plugin has to access CC's
website - what if it were to go down? Say the GNAA were to crapflood
us, shutting down the server. That would break the plugin.

WOW!  CAROL! What a wonderful contribution!

I'm thinking CD covers, etc., and sounds.  I want to try it with Linux,
and see if it gets us a step closer to making it easy for Independent
Artists to get licensed and ready for uploading to www.archive.org.
Please let me know what steps I take to try it out.
