THE ARCHDEACON GAZED AT THE GIGANTIC EDIFICE FOR SOME TIME IN SILENCE, THEN EXTENDING HIS RIGHT HAND, WITH A SIGH, TOWARDS THE PRINTED BOOK WHICH LAY OPEN ON THE TABLE, AND HIS LEFT TOWARDS NOTRE-DAME, AND TURNING A SAD GLANCE FROM THE BOOK TO THE CHURCH,--"ALAS," HE SAID, "THIS WILL KILL THAT."

Criticism• Political - CC does not ensure ideological control

• Common Sense – its too complicated

• Pro-copyright position - CC not viable and undermines copyright by fooling users

• Anti-copyright – its broken! Don’t fix it.

• Confusion – do we need another license???

• Community – licenses do not create community (or lawyers are bad people)
