That's not what it is, though — it's not a negative answer. I might lock my door when I leave my apartment because I don't want everyone in my neighborhood to come in, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't invite you in if you knocked. Wear a short skirt & hell it's almost a guarantee.

I don't think the creative commons licensing system is perfect, but I think for the most part it does what it sets out to do — to give people creating things an easy means of stating, in a clear and up-front way, what permissions they are comfortable granting.

The creative commons licensing system is not an alternative to "traditional" copyright. It's just a nicely-packaged, digestible, template-ized set of licenses presented in a way that is easy to use online (or wherever).

The practicalities of Person B using Person A's music (or other types of creative works) has always been something managed via two things: an up-front recognition / acknowledgement of ownership (Person B recognizes Person A made the work, and therefore it's theirs) and a negotiation of permissions and terms of use (a license).

Creative commons licenses are just a very, very stripped-down set of licenses presented for people to use if they like, because it very, very, very much streamlines the communication of intentions and conditions between rightsholder and the party interested in using the work.

The ND option is not meant, I think, to placate copyright conservatives, but instead is presented simply because different people have different levels of comfort with how their creative work is used and by what parties. (This, in my view, is something that's worth being selective about, lest one day you find your music has ended up as the soundtrack to some neo-Nazi video or something maybe less implausible but similarly abhorrent to you personally.) And it's worth keeping in mind that the ND option doesn't prohibit anything at all — it just doesn't explicitly grant permission up-front. For parties interested in using a piece of music in their game, remix, funny cat video, etc., the option always remains for them to contact the artist directly to arrange for permission.

This concludes my report on the Creative Commons licensing system.
