Copyright (from Wikipedia):

It appears publishers, rather than authors, were the first to seek restrictions on copying printed works. Given that publishers now obtain the copyright from the authors as a condition of mass reproduction of a work, one of the criticisms of the current system is that it benefits publishers more than it does authors. This is a chief argument of the proponents of peer-to-peer file sharing systems.

So copyright is a modern convention. P2P is a postmodern convention. Creative Commons is an emerging integral convention.

I wish I-I would create a CC integral glossary. They are the authority. They just don’t look like it.

Sneezers like me are waiting for I-I to catch up. Do I have to create my own AQAL glossary and risk misrepresenting the ideas? Do I have to assign integral authority to someone else? Or do I have to use a postmodern convention and steal one?

I want the top “integral glossary” search result (not to mention “AQAL glossary”) to come from I-I. I’ll help too.
