Stan you took the words right out of my mouth. A typical symptom of that
paranoia is that you start knowing things better than your lawyer. Even if the
lawyer was involved with the local adaption of the Creative Commons license.
This was the case when we wanted to do something about Ramas picture used in a
newspaper. But let's stop talking about this.
The point is that I do *not* have a lawyer, precisely. :)
But I fail to see where I would know things better than a lawyer. I will cheerfully admit that a lawyer knows better than me how legal matters work. And you surely will return the favour admitting that I know better than you what I want to do with my time.
You are welcome to engage in legal crusades yourself if you have time to lose; you are also to offer to recruit me if you see it fit. But you are not entitled to draft me into one.
Another symptom of the paranoia is that the patients start looking around for
other reasons why an image could be unfree if they can't find a copyright
paragraph. What about personality rights? And moral rights? Religious feelings?
The paranoia patients will find a reason for every image why it's forbidden in
one of our globes countries.
