Eric Steuer of Creative Commons addresses the future of copyright and answers questions about the future of journalism from a copyright perspective:

A recent controversy has been raised by some legal scholars, including Richard Posner, David and Daniel Marberger and columnist Connie Schultz, who have all proposed tighter copyright restrictions for original online journalistic content. What is your reaction to those proposed restrictions, and what is the future of copyright in general?

What type of new commercial model would you propose for online news sources, with the idea of embracing looser linking and broader syndication policies?

Copyright has moved from all rights reserved to Creative Commons already; what comes next?
