I actually came across your "Ms Adventures in Italy" blog today - my partner and I just spent 5 months in Italy as part of the long-term-motorhome-lifestyle thing we're doing. As a software developer I was curious about your tech blog too and as a photographer who's partner is an artist I appreciated your article on creative commons. My partner often finds it frustrating when she wants to include a painting from an artist in a blog article but needs to get their permission first - most times she just won't bother to write the article at all! So the vast majority of artists our there who are still using the old "no-reproduction without artist's permission" thing are actually shooting themselves in the foot! Don't make it difficult for people to share your work online and thus give you some free promotion! If anyone's interested, here are a couple of links to artists talking about why they use an "Attribution Non-Commercial Share-Alike" creative commons license. http://gapingvoid.com/2007/09/15/gapingvoid-licensing-terms/ http://www.stuckincustoms.com/2010/05/24/savannah/ Hi Sarah!
