Re: <nettime> Creative Commons enforced in court

(NB: usual 'ianal' diclaimer applies!)

Mmmmm... My 'kits reactie' (that's Afrikaans) is that this merely reflects 
Dutch 'copyright' law - basically French 'droit d'auteur' 
law, afaik - which states that you cannot republish without permission 
when you are a publisher yourself (not an individual person), public or 
not (when the author is an individual, aot a publisher or entity). And of 
course, that you have to exercise due dilligence at all times. 

I won't hold my breath yet re: CC has been upheld in court.

just my 2 former Dutch cents
