When one takes into account that Creative Commons’ data represents only a fraction not only of CC licensed works, but of *all* works released outside traditional channels, it’s clear that the current copyright regimes are now completely inadequate. The blindness of the EU authorities to this fact is just another example of the huge breach between politicians and the people they are supposed to represent.

Incidentally, I find disheartening to see Communia mimicking the “pirates” rhetoric instead of trying to find more realistic terminology. As has been demonstrated time and again, most “pirates” are just common people sharing, say, their favorite film or the songs that made them sit back and smile (or cry!). Comparing them to bloodthirsty criminals is not the way to go. Heck, how is that saying about stones and houses of glass? Who hasn’t got a tape that a friend (or lover;-) ) recorded from a disk by that band that .. ? (Tapes? Yeah, I’m _that_ old 🙂

Anyway, keep the good work and let’s fight for justice.
