Creative Commons Enforcement
1) Creative Commons licenses have been enforced in courts in various countries, including Belgium, Israel, and Germany. In these cases, authors sued for license breaches when their works were used without proper attribution or for commercial purposes without permission. 2) Community enforcement of Creative Commons licenses also occurs, such as when a far-right political party used an image without attribution and the author sought an injunction. 3) The document argues that while legal enforcement is important, over-reliance on lawyers could undermine the Creative Commons movement. Instead, Creative Commons should focus on building databases and improving licenses to make them more user-friendly, especially for institutions.
