Curry wins for Creative Commons
A dutch judge has ruled in favour of Adam Curry after a smut magazine published photo’s which were marked with a creative commons license from his Flickr account to illustrate an article . The license forbade commercial use. The standard fine for not adhering to the Creative Commons Public License Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 was set to 1000 euro’s for each abuse with a maximum fine of 20.000 euro’s. He was not awarded the settlement money he had asked for the publishing of the article itself though.
