And please dog no, don't scare me with a posting to /. I love what they do, but the peanut gallery rips everything to shreds ;> It seems like people decided CC was the ‘new cool way’ without actually taking the time to figure out what it meant.

Also, your comment "It’s funny because at first they are unknown and go CC to help spread their waork much farther than if they copyrighted it. Then when they are famous they no longer want to share the same content anymore." really hits home for me Ted because I've been doing a lot of music recording lately of taper/trade-friendly artists who permit non-commercial trading of live fan recordings. Most do this to get the word out, just like you mention here, but there have been numerous cases where once the acts got bigger, they yanked their open taping policy. Which is so ironic, because it was the open taping policy that often helped them get a wider audience. But some bands totally get it, and remain cool with it even after they become huge, Dave Matthews being a prime example. This has all the makings of a /. story if it already isn’t one.
