Ahoy,

I'd be interested to hear people's thoughts on Orlowski's claims that CC is 
redundant because:

- people remix and what have you anyway
- original works are more important (easy to debunk)
- it just creates complicated mechanisms for what already happens

Are we caught up in our own dystopian hysteria, or do we really need CC as a 
bulwark against encroachments on creativity? Is CC a clumsy legal mechanism 
that obscures more fluid social practices?

I'm unsure as to how I'd answer these, so please throw some ideas at me :)

Regards,
Tom
