Stopping splogs
Doc Searls writes on trying to slow the rise of splogs and has adopted a Creative Commons license for his blog. I have had the same licence on my blog for several months. Clearly the ‘problem’ is likely far more acute for a blog with Doc’s popularity and readership, however I’d be interested in his thoughts on how (in an ‘enforcement-is-nine-tenths-of-the-law’ context) he believes this can make more than a symbolic difference? It just seems to me that the people behind these splogs aren’t likely to be put off by a CC or even a ‘C’ (Copyright); maybe I’m mistaken in that assumption. I mean what is the likelyhood that many (any?) bloggers would actually have the time and resources to pursue infringing sploggers?
I usually don’t write or comment about blogging but I think this kernel is important enough to try to help turn it into a snowball. Time to harness the wisdom of the ’sphere.
