his argument that copyrighted works are relicensed under cc is true of copyright works too. just look at all the movie clips that go on youtube. you think non-cc photographs are somehow exempt from that? the claim that there is an increased risk of being sued if you use cc is an interesting one. i don't see how you are any more or less likely to be sued using something under cc. if it is wrongly licensed then yeah, you might be open to being sued. but hey, if you use any all rights reserved material without permission you are very open to being sued. at least cc, when used correctly, gives certainty. and the final point, about revoking a of a licence and then suing: any legal use of the material under the licence that was on the work IS STILL PERMITTED. simply because the licences are NON REVOKABLE. if you wish to stop offering a copyrighted work under a CC licence you can remove the licence notification. but any use of that work that was done under the licence is still legal. so you can't sue.
