yeah...this is a good project that Chris spearheaded at WGBH: http://lab.wgbh.org/sandbox The problem is that the watermark makes the video less attractive to use. If i'm making a video, and then use a snippet of an eagle with the WGBH watermark...it might kill the mood im trying to create. Imagine if all of us put watermarks on our videos. it'd make for some crazy mash ups. are yu finding people who regularly use the WGBH library of video? its WGBH's decision for how open they want to be with their material. Creative Commons is a smart licensing system, and all these little outbursts are helping people realize that we actually have to respect CC in our own work. it's an interesting time.
