most non-profit organizations are not using any aspects of free-culture
Jamison, Oslo (Norway) · 4/11/2007 20:42
Example: I spoke to a lady at www.regnmakerne.no ( a site that explains environmental issues to children) every aspect of the project was protected under standard copyright and has been paid for by an extra charge on the electricity bill of each person in Norway. All the animated characters and story could have been created partly by the community (using CC licenses). This would have created more awareness, could have been sent out with the power bill and been done online.
What might be cool would be to create something similar to bound by law, yet more "how to explain creative commons" http://www.law.duke.edu/cspd/comics/ . I have noticed that all the Non-profit organizations that create negative stuff about creative commons mostly have boards of directors that are involved in the publishing industry. A kind of Q & A in cartoon format with an explanation of CC could really get a lot of people in Non-profit organizations to understand "what" and "why" creative commons is.
