@silner the problem is most of today's media is so fragile #DRM will ensure the loss of far more creative work than !copyright ever did -

@silner …if for no other reason than it's a step away from "all rights reserved" which is a step toward freedom. Ideas take time !copyright -

@silner Until we get to !copyright abolition, we have to live with !copyright monopoly law. I think !CC NC is better than © ... -

@zotz !Canada is most insured country in the world, and probably most !copyright-collectived. #explains vibrant #Pirate Party of Canada -

@zotz Not sure; something recently about increasing the !copyright tariff for DJs at weddings... maybe if people dance to music it doubles? -

@zotz in !Canada venues w/ live music must pay !copyright collective even if artist does only original work because infringement is assumed -

@zotz I think so, actually... !Canada is bulging with !copyright collectives ... street buskers have to pay up front #InfringementAssumed -

@zotz Big penalties give you show trials, all the better to frighten people -

@arnebab Even cc by-nc-sa sounded radical when explaining to my octogenarian father why he should release his CD with a CC license -

@arnebab good point: I don't know when radical became such a bad word -

@arnebab The very idea of Creative Commons licenses is radical next to !copyright -

@zotz Really? how much active infringement is there really? I can promise you most of the people that I know do not infringe !copyright. -

@zotz that is what so much of this comes down to; finding ways to engage people who don't think any of this matters :) -

@zotz I have heard BY-NC-SA included as copyleft; though I have opinion, it's not my decision. Most of the world thinks BY-NC-SA radical. -

@zotz lack of consensus is an issue, but I think more of the problem is it isn't less re-defining phrases as learning what they mean. -

@zotz many people see no distiction between "open source" and "free software" ~ I know it took me a good while to understand that -

@zotz Is Creative Commons even a decade old? Tho GPL is older, still, this is way WAY out there for people who have not thought it through. -

@zotz !copyleft is radical thought that flies in the face of "accepted truth" (people also think !copyright is a right, not a #monopoly) -

@zotz You've been in this far longer than I, but what I see is most of the public still buys the centuries of propaganda: !copyright is good -

@zotz it says "All Wrongs Reversed" on my @NinaPaley T-shirt
