Luis,
Verification is optional and I don't see anyone disputing
this. There
is indeed a need for verification because that is what
people want.
There are many different contexts for the word
"need" and I think you
are assuming the legal context when I mean a communal
context.
I remember Mike saying in a previous email, in this
discussion, that
the CC provide verification because people want it, not
because its
legally required. If clients want something, that becomes a
need to
the community and it's just like someone including their
email address
or website with their GPL license. This was only meant to be
a loose
example and nothing more.
I suggest you read the MP3 license specs here:
http://wiki.creat
ivecommons.org/MP3
and take special note of this:
" *If* "verify at" exists in TCOP,
everything after it must be the
metadata URL and the preceding link must be the license URL.
"
Back to my first email, the issue of optional verification
has already
been resolved with MP3 licenses.
