[Imc-g8-2005] indymedia picture archive

[Anarcho Babe]

I still think the Creative Common License is a nice and elegant way to  
solve the copyright problem on indmedia.
We have got a tick list on Indy Scotland where people can choose their  
licences - I quite like that - also the mainstream press likes it, because  
if it is posted as "public domain" they know they can nick it - and so  
far, the Creative Common License seemed to be respected by them, too.
Usually they just seem to nick the ideas now, and write and try to  
research their own stuff later, such as with Paul's article about his  
visit to Gleneagles, which was even posted as public domain.

my 2 cents.
