I especially enjoyed your use of the phrase whack-a-mole as it is usually relegating to use of defining carnivals. There is one big factor you referenced in the post I think needs more attention. As Mike Seyfang wrote "What I do crave is recognition (not fame)." For the concept of CC and free to be successful, the producer of work must recognize the value of building recognition and (ultimately) gaining respect over fame and fortune. Thoughts?
