You give away rights when employing a CC license. You don't *gain* any rights you didn't already have. This is an important difference. In Josh Wolf's situation he'd have an even stronger case against the TV-station had he not employed a CC license (not that it mattered since even the CC license was violated). If you want protection CC doesn't matter. Don't do anything and all your rights are preserved. If you want to open up your work so that others can re-use/distribute without having to ask you for permission then CC licenses may be able to help you. The mantra to remember is: Creative Commons licenses gives you less protection that traditional copyright (which is automatic), and that is a good thing. -- Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen <URL: http://www.solitude.dk/ >
