Matt sez, "Some interesting titbits in a UK report by Openbusiness.cc and the Arts Council of England on artists utilising Creative Commons licensing in the UK, and their thoughts on copyright. I think it's interesting artists seem to be using CC licenses on instinct, even if many haven't thought through how that can really apply or feed through into their work, other than through network effects related to distribution."
Often the artists that are using CC have chosen to do so almost on instinct. They believe strongly that traditional copyright has not succeeded in providing the promised financial incentives and protection for artists themselves and see CC as a way of limiting negative effects without completely losing control over their work.
(Thanks, Matt)
