Adam Curry to Sue over CC Licensed Images
Adam Curry, former MTV DJ and podcasting visionary, announced in episode #320 of his Daily Source Code podcast, that he will be suing a Dutch Tabloid based on the misuse of Creative Commons licensed work.
The tabloid “Weekend”, on Wednesday, ran a frontpage headline article about him and his family which included pictures which were taken off his flicker photostream.
Apart from suing the magazine for endangering his (15-year-old) daughter by publishing the address of her school and other personal details about her, Adam is sueing the magazine for copyright infringement by breaking the Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike under which the photos in question were released.
Is this the first time the Creative Commons license will be taken to court?
