...not everyone welcomes the growth of Creative Commons. Besides media companies, many ordinary people have no use for Creative Commons, when they don't openly fear them, especially in Latin America and Asia. I interviewed many people around the world about this, and the result is my report on the Tragedy of the Creative Commons in issue 116 of LinuxFormat. The article is fully readable online, in HTML format at Tux Radar.

This article has got lots of positive feedback for its complete, impartial coverage of the topic. Here are some examples:

• "excellent and concise round up of the wide range of perspectives towards the Creative Commons and copyright generally"
• "Best of all is its excellent discussion of the problems/dilemmas of implementing CC in areas without a strong copyright tradition (Asia, South America etc)" - J. Coates,Creative Commons Clinic,Queensland University of Technology
• "excellent overview of all the issues raised by the success of the Creative Commons license" - M. Bauwens, P2P Foundation
• "I'd just like to say a very serious thankyou for opening my eyes...It's given me a lot to think about "

The last comment is just the beginning of a very interesting discussion on this article at the Linux Format Web Forum on the Tragedy of the Creative Commons.
