I built this website. From scratch. Including the servers.
I have already promised my eternal undying love to this Apple HAL - because it gives me goosebumps.
But back when I was a young ad-pup, the Guardian Points of view was the ad that made my heart beat faster.
I think the creative commons is a great idea for everyone who wishes to use it - but I have also seen is abused. I've had to point out the errors of bloggers who have reposted images without asking for permission - which were not under any public domain/CC license. By re-posting the images they had no right to, under the CC license , they made the images available under the CC license. Clearly, not the right thing to do [tm] as only the photographer of said images has the right to change the image license, and it undermines (or sabotages) the effort of the Creative Commons.
I was about to post a response there to a fella named Jake who had posted something like (paraphrasing here) "A small webpublisher can't (won't?) pay $250 for a thumbnail. J is only tryng to work out a way that is fair to everyone..."
I had to change my reply a little, deleteing a few cuss-words, and while I reloaded I saw that Leslie had replied to that, much better than I ever could, explaining in a few words that theft is still theft, and "fair" is to not steal. Then I changed what I was writing again to work better with that, and at yet another reload - I find three comments (the two mentioned included) have been deleted.The comments weren't particularly inflammatory, just the normal misconceptions that I wanted to adress, so I don't know why they were deleted, but I see now that you've already posed that question directly in the comments Leslie.
