Don't steal

* the law @ 11:15

In the first test of its kind, a court in Norway has ruled that a Creative Commons license is legally binding. Apparently a gossip magazine took some pictures off Flickr that belonged to a former MTV VJ without permission. They thought they could get away with using the images, but since the use was commercial it violated the license and infringed on his copyright, and now there's growing caselaw for CC.
