"Here’s a supreme irony: the Creative Commons licenses were invented to enable
a culture of legally safe sharing, spurred by the legal terror campaign waged
by the entertainment industry, led by a literal criminal predator who is now in
prison for sex crimes.
But because of a small oversight in old versions of the licenses created 12
years ago, a new generation of legal predator has emerged to wage a new
campaign of legal terror.
To make matters worse, this new kind of predator specifically targets people
who operate in good faith, only using materials that they explicitly have been
given permission to use.
What a mess."
