In addition to CC, we might want to worry ourselves with the “nigger” comments on this board. Now there’s a reflection of the world we live.

“Anyone who believes in Obama’s “change” is a fool. Appointing criminals and traitors to positions of power is the only change you’re going to get. Same car, different paint job.” – ’nuff said.

Have fun in the “civilian national security force” (i.e. a draft), dumbfucks.

“Appointing criminals and traitors to positions of power is the only change you’re going to get. ”

Change?

No, dear. Appointing criminals and traitors to positions of power would be more of the same.

I think you’re confused about what the word “change” means, or maybe you’ve been living under a rock for the last… What, 100 or so years of Presidential history?

The problem with changing copyright is that obama must go through congress, which of course means he needs enough votes to get the bill through. And you can be sure the copyright industry will be lobbying all senators and calling in markers. And as we all know, most senators have a proclivity for bribes.

The previous pres appointed criminals and traitors too so that won’t be “the change.” Black people have always been putting bling on something a white guy did and reselling it at higher cost to their own people like with clothes(FUBU), sneakers, and music. For example,a white guy invented rap in the vaudeville era.

@5 bleh, 6 pink panther
I agree with the fact that this hardly signifies that they support CC. They are just using it.

Moreover, CC is nice and all… but what does it entail for all the things that are copyrighted and not under CC? Surely the fact that they are not under CC is a problem. Everything should be under CC, after all – and the usage of CC in no way entails that everybody else should use CC as well.

As much as we would love to see some proof that Obama will be a friend to net neutrality/file sharing, his site’s shift to Creative Commons is a very long way from being hard evidence as to his true thoughts on the subject. Most likely, he wasn’t even involved/wasn’t even aware of the change.

seriously dude, “a president can’t make unpopular decisions”.

bush has been in office for 2 terms, and he has made a littany of unpopular(and bad) decisions.
in fact, i dare you to point to a single popular decision he has made
(yes i know that the majority was pro-iraq-war at the time, but only a few years later, within his term this turned out to be an unpopular decision)

but that begs the question, why would you think copyright reforms would be unpopular?
Most people are consumers, a very large majority in fact, if he strenghens the consumer and weakens the industry why would the majority(the consumers) hate him?

remember he has harnessed the awsome power of the Internet to raise the monye for his campaign, instead of relying on the industry for contributions.
That means he owes them nothing, and us everything.

GOBAMA!

To pink panther (#6):

The number of people creating versus the number of people enjoying is always going to be skewed. Not everyone is a software developer or networking specialist (and not every one of those creates instead of utilize), and I’d hardly expect a senator or House representative to be one.

At any rate, using a product or service is similar to supporting it (and the market ideology is that you promote ideas or services by ‘voting’ with your dollars, but in this case it’s a matter of using as ‘voting’).
