This is pretty phenomenal – Taloussanomat, one of the largest business papers adopts Creative Commons licensing in their articles. Hooray! They apparently began to license all their articles with CC: BY-NC-ND license.

I’ve been a strong supporter of Creative Commons ever since learned of Lessig and the movement. Later on I helped the US Freeculture movement by designing a logo for them. It seems that they still use it – I piled the three legos on our dinner table and snapped a photo of them, little did I know it they would be so famous :)

Anyhow, correct me if I’m wrong but this is the first time in Finland that a major news company adopts a Creative Commons licenses. A good day for Finland, a very good day.

Update: They still Copyright news from STT – ironically I found this out through an article discussing piracy/copyright criminals.
