How is it easier to add theirs as opposed to typing my own? Sprig, it's simple. I DON'T HAVE TO TYPE MY OWN. I can let people smarter than I am in these areas deal with it, and I can just slap the CC license on and not have to worry. Yes, it's lazy--in the same way that buying my burger is lazy compared to killing my own cow, grinding the meat, and cooking it on my own.
CC has been tested in courts, has proven wildly popular with people who have been offering their work for free, and gives me peace of mind. Plus, I look at it this way.
On one side:
Spriggan, suggesting that you ignore the lawyers whom you pay to pay attention to things like this--and calling you mindless for listening to their advice.
On the other side:
Tor/St. Martin's Legal Department, your editor, and the president of the company all suggesting that it would be more legally sound to go with the cc license.
Hum....
Regardless, this is a thread to deal with comments on the chapters of WARBREAKER, not a place to argue about the copyright issues. Sprig, I'd be happy to continue the conversation if you wish to make a new thread.
Otherwise, let there be new Warbreaker! I will post another chapter soon--either tonight or tomorrow. Huzzah!
