OAL All-Or-Nothing? 

Brett Glass critiques the EFF's Open Audio License. [Scripting News]

I'm not a lawyer, but this looks like a valid critique.  The gist is that the OAL is too all-or-nothing.  The lack of flexibility could hurt artists who adopt the license without understanding the full legal ramifications.  That makes sense to me.

Question is, does the Creative Commons do better?

Anonymous Dose Of Sanity 

University to challenge copyright laws. Duke University's law school receives an anonymous $1 million gift to fund advocacy and research aimed at curtailing the recent expansion of copyright laws such as the DMCA. [CNET News.com]

Wow.  I'm just dyin' to know who's behind this.  James Boyle, Duke law professor: "We see the system getting out of control, out of balance. This is a way to restore the balance."  Amen!
