I, too, support creative common licensing. But, as far as licensing and copyright infringement issues are concerned, the whole matter solely rests on the implementability of the law. In India (that's where I belong), for example, almost all the well-known American and English authors' books are available in illegal paperbacks at a fifth of the label price on shops that spring up on the footpath as you walk by. In China, the Chinese translation of <i>Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince</i> was released (of course not legally) one day before the official release of the same book by Bloomsbury. I remember this because a hilarious picture was there in the morning newspaper showing, on one hand, a highly-secure vehicle which was to transport the first HP consignment, and on the other hand, a vendor selling the Chinese translation. :) I appreciate your views expressed in this article.

It seems to be the best way to protect one's work at this time while allowing it to spread to new readers/viewers/listeners. Great article! I, too, support the use of CCommons licensing.

The internet age has created a bit of a free-for-all in terms of fair use and infringement. I would always like to be paid for my work and credited, unless I specifically state that the piece is up for grabs. With the internet, it is impossible to know if your work has been purloined. Schools, and I am a teacher, do a lousy job of making sure that the younger folks understand and pay attention to copyright issues. I have no idea if anything I've written has been stolen or used without my permission. I also have no idea what the answer to this issue is.

I believe my material has been exploited by various individuals and I want to protect my material too. I have recently applied "page protected by copyspace do not copy" to my front page of my web log www.secondchancetolive.wordpress.com , but I have not figured out if I need to apply that "page protected by copyspace do not copy" to each of my posts to protect the individual posts as well. I have over 134 posts and in the event that I would have to go through each post to apply the seal, it would take alot of time away from my creating. Can you please give me any suggestions my friend. Thank you again for taking the time to write this article. Have a great day. Craig J. Phillips Second Chance to Live Hello CJ Writer,

I myself am a big fan of CCommons because I woke up one morning and found myself googled to high heaven with everyone taking stuff off my site (music reviews mostly) and not crediting me. This is the best way right now of asserting copyright exactly how you desire it. Right, now I'm off to find out why my links have dissapeared! Just wanted to say that, and hello, really. Hello! Simon Hi.
