mp3.com拒绝Creative Commons

Joi Ito昨天post来自mp3.com的Legal Department邮件回复:

"Nothing replaces the legal protections provided by registering a copyright with the US Copyright Office--most certainly not your “free license”.
This email is formal notice for you to cease and desist from further contacting our artists through our web site to solicit for your product/services, which are not sanctioned by us.

是大公司财大气粗的表达?还真的是民间"草根文化"难登大雅之堂?我倒更愿相信mp3.com是出于自身战略的考虑.不管怎么说,CreativeCommons受到了推行上的挫折;看来要在中国推广,更是难上加难.
同时,我也想起了Isaac谈到的中国缺少NGO活动,其实运作与实施就是个很大的难题.
