Luis, Verification is optional and I don't see anyone disputing this. There is indeed a need for verification because that is what people want. There are many different contexts for the word "need" and I think you are assuming the legal context when I mean a communal context.
I remember Mike saying in a previous email, in this discussion, that the CC provide verification because people want it, not because its legally required. If clients want something, that becomes a need to the community and it's just like someone including their email address or website with their GPL license. This was only meant to be a loose example and nothing more. I suggest you read the MP3 license specs here: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/MP3 and take special note of this: " *If* "verify at" exists in TCOP, everything after it must be the metadata URL and the preceding link must be the license URL. " Back to my first email, the issue of optional verification has already been resolved with MP3 licenses.
