Concerns About the Current Direction of Creative Commons

Andres Guadamuz has a new post on the state of the Creative Commons community. Guadamuz indicates that he is feeling “temporary disillusionment” regarding the direction of the community. From the post:

Another problem that I felt (completely centred on my very subjective and limited perception), was that the movement was becoming way to “cool-centric” for its own good. I could not help but feeling that in some instances substance was being sacrificed for image. Perhaps in order to bolster its own credentials with the more fashionable end of the Web 2.0 revolution, CC played up this cool image that might turn some people off, and may have been the source of detractors accusing Creative Commons of being mostly hype, or a fad.
