Abstract In this paper the use of Creative Commons (CC) is questioned. That is done by concentrating on the following question: what is CC, in which circumstances is CC useful and what are its drawbacks? Does CC solve any problems or is there a need to change copyright laws and treaties to accommodate this use of copyright? Keywords: copyrightfree contentlimitations Notes P.
