So definetly Creative Commons licenses workshops to all media users weither they are fond of blogs or not!

The bloggers need that too! I can tell you from the experience of Bangladesh that the media are only starting to recognize blogs. Earlier they used to plagiarize from the blogs (they still do!) used image without permission and only bothered to put a footnote saying 'from Internet'. I think they do it because they fear that these images will be costly. When they will learn more about creative commons and the content owners start to use creative commons licenses the situation will improve. Creative Commons workshop for the media sounds great!

But there was also another type of reaction : when media and webistes were starting to litterally using their contents without giving credits to the authors. Do you think we need to give a Creative Commons workshops to all the media users in our countries? we ve experienced while working with avylavitra and diana that more and more people were interested in their work not only because they provided something different in a very professional and committed way.
