Creative Common sense

a note.

I'm confused (which, admittedly, happens far too easily).

It's about the licensing of images of that other (lesser) photo sharing site, Flickr.

I assign Creative Commons. Some guys do 'some rights reserved', others 'all rights reserved' and others have taken the Getty Images route.

Any input on the merits or otherwise of Creative Commons licensing vs the other?

Thanks in advance.

    I don't know 'bout the other — but, I think there is only two: all rights reserved and 'creative commons';

    but, I choose creative commons because I suspect regardless of what one 'slaps' on an image — I pre-assume it will be stolen; so I'd rather not chase down some 17 year old kid in a basement somewhere in eastern europe for using my 'graph as an inspiration for his rock-band.

    When I do apply: all rights reserved: I never publish the 'graph in any platform — only on print to be seen in person.

    that's my take.

    I am for Creative Commons, but lazy to to drop down and select it, cant say i know the legal meanings that well, but i know All Rights Reserved is pretty self explanatory, even though i know pple will use ur stuff anyway, especially for non commercial purposes.

    @jeff you set 'creative commons' to be your default 'copyright': http://75.co.za/jeff_rikhotso/edit
