[...] CC’s officielle svar Dette er naturligvis helt forkert forstået af ASCAP, hvilket også understreges af Eric Steuer, Creative Director og talsmand for Creative Commons, i CC’s officielle svar til påstanden fra ASCAP (frit oversat): “Det er utroligt trist, at ASCAP fejlagtigt påstår, at Creative Commons arbejder for at underminere ophavsretten. CC licenser er copyright licenser – helt basalt – og uden copyright ville disse slet ikke fungere. CC licenser er juridiske værktøjer, som kunstnere kan bruge til at tilbyde særlige rettigheder til offentligheden, mens de beholder andre rettigheder selv. Kunstnere og pladeselskaber som ønsker at gøre deres musik tilgængeligt til offentligheden til afgrænset benyttelse, såsom non-kommerciel deling eller remixing, bør overveje at bruge CC licenser. Kunstnere og pladeselskaber som ønsker at beholde alle deres rettigheder selv bør derimod ikke bruge CC licenser.” (kilde: webmagazinet Zeropaid). [...]

It would be great if they did take on the OSI or something – that would be the death of them. Big businesses are now entrenched in the open source lifestyle, and challenging it directly would bring the wrath of multi-billion dollar companies upon them, and their highly paid legal teams (I realize as you do that their broad challenge to copyleft automatically extends to open source, of course).

Some companies are two-faced about their open source support and actually want to kill it, like Microsoft that tries to undermine it with their own “open” licenses that are crafted to be incompatible with existing ones (Microsoft Permissive License. Michael Tiemann, the president of OSI, said it was crafted for “maximum incompatibility) but there are a lot of big companies that now see the legitimate business sense in open source, and of course there’s powerful non-profit foundations that deal in open source exclusively, and can fight back and crush them (Mozilla foundation)

I don’t care if they apologize, their opinion is forfeit forever. They’ve shown their true colors: They’re a criminal cartel that seeks to smash freedom in order to lock in more control for themselves.
