OK, for a perfect example of the absurdity of not looking before legaling:
Lawyer writes a blog about trademarks.
Lawyer includes not for commercial use Creative Commons licence.
Lawyer notices that people can read his entire blog reformatted in Bloglines.
Reaction: lawyer goes batshit (new word stolen from Jeff) and sends cease and desist to Bloglines and posts about it.
Suggestion: perhaps not having syndicated full content RSS would have been simpler.
