Not absolute truth
[edit]I added a hat note as warning, because of statements like this:
- If it is easy for people to behave honestly and legally, then they will. Straightforward licences like CC or FAL make it trivial for reusers to comply with the terms
CC straightforward? Give me a break. People are not even directed to the licence proper but to a deed, because the licence is too complicated.
It might be more easy to understand than some other licences, especially some commercial ones. Closing loopholes may need quite complicated text, but the issue remains. Using CC licensed media in a safe manner is not trivial, other than in some cases (and figuring out whether your case is one of those is part of the problem).
