Creative Commons Licenses Upheld In Dutch Court

“The first known court decision involving a Creative Commons license was handed down on March 9, 2006 by the District Court of Amsterdam. The case confirmed that the conditions of a Creative Commons license automatically apply to the content licensed under it.”

In Adam’s own words:

“Regarding the copyright claim, the judge ruled in our favour, and ordered the mag not to use my copyrighted pictures again. If they do they will be fined 1000 euros (about $1200) for each photo they use without permission.

Obv[i]ously the Dutch court does not value new media property and ownership very highly, but the creative commons copyright does hold up!”
