It is nice to see how people can come together and force the legal community to follow their rules.  People should have the right to allow the use of their works how they might like.  The laws are for the people and should be by the people, so creative commons seems to be a nice area that allows some "free play".  Because the laws can be so rigid that we become locked into a relationship-less world, we need to make sure that there is always the ability to connect with each other.  There also seems to be the need for others to be able to recreate using the already created of others.  The question that comes to mind is "why can't we all just get along?"  We should give credit where credit is due and trust that others will do the same with our work.
