Creative commons digital metatag would be set up for allow to do this or that
with a work, by the controller of the work (who has the CC licensed work).
With a digital metatag could then set up filters, and/or monitors of downloads
etc of files where a warning system could be put in place to want computer users
of download activity on their internet account, and if over a certain amount
then the controller of the CC licensed work gets notified (could send a nice
email or contact about the use and preferred use of their works, with
"please" being the key word and also "thank-you").
Remember - the DMCA protects the digital metatag from being altered (a violation
of the DMCA, well, that is a felony, not a good thing as it no longer then would
be "copyright infringement, it would be a serious crime) - So anyone who
tries to stip the Creative Commons work's license (metatag) away, they get
looked at really carefully by whatever is needed for that (ouch)?

We may have to wait many years for new leadership to emerge before
Hollywood starts to act in a rational and sensible
manner.
Roughly 600 years ago, Rabbi Meir ben Isaac
Katzenellenbogen (1482–1565), engaged in the first discourse about the concept
of "copyright law". An interesting discussion of this, and other aspects of
Copyright Law from before The Statute of Anne in 1709 can be found in
Maharam of Padua v. Giustiniani: The Sixteenth-Century Origins of the Jewish
Law of Copyright,
http://papers.
ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1066285.
That is a lot of time
in which to develop myths about why copyright should be viewed as a "natural
property right".
From the origins in Katzenellenbogen’s discourse,including
Master Salamon Rossi of Mantua's decree in 1623, copyright has been purely an
economic measure for distributors, and reproducers of creative content. Creators
have always gotten the shaft.
Requesting Hollywood and the *IAA to no
longer steal from those whom they alleged, but demonstrably do not, protect
economically, and in other ways, is akin to requesting a pedophile to change
their ways. They are psychologically, physically, and intellectually unable to
do so. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Alan - I really appreciate your enthusiasm and
optimism but I am afraid
your solution won't work. Even worse, I don't have a
better solution to
offer. Sure, a few content creators have made out
good on a voluntary
payment system. For example, 9 Inch Nails.
Unfortunately, I feel this was
only due to the novelty of the idea.
Human nature goes against you. Sure, people will pay
for awhile, but bit
by bit, more and more will "cheat" - with the rational -
"I'll send a
payment later", only later never comes. Why would it,
with no pressure,
no sence of urgency?
