Zueri-Berlin case settled

:: Zueri-Berlin case settled ::

"Zueri-Berlin" is a blog [1] by Sarah G, which is
licensed under CC- 
by-nc-sa [2]. She found her observations on language
differences  
between the two cities printed in "heute" [3], a
gratis, but  
commercial newspaper published by the media house Ringier
[4]. In  
September 2006, at the Wizards-of-OS conference [5] in
Berlin, she  
asked the RegisteredCommons [6] team for support. We
discussed the  
case with her and involved colleagues from openlaw [7]. The 

publishers were astonished and answered with the swiss
copyrights law  
article 25 [8], that they consider a blog as a citation.
Finally, the responsible journalist could be convinced
respecting the  
rules of CC licensed content in future. The happy end [9]
is, that in  
November 2006 the line honorar (CHF 50.-) has been donated
to the  
Creative Commons organisation in the US [10].

Thank you so much, Roland. I have blogged about this case in
Italian in 
<h
ttp://noimedia.iobloggo.com/archive.php?eid=66>,
quoting your message 
and Angela G's post as sources. In the hope that the info
will be enough 
  to avoid a potential similar misuse. More about it if it
does not work.

Best
