Creative Commons and Business Models

Chinwag wrote that: "Going on the premise that business models will 'just emerge' isn’t sufficient motive for many start-ups, nor comfort to their potential investors. But neither is the solution simply always about scale (ie. traction plus 'eyeballs')."  More here.

Now consider kishkish's lie detector, an add-on to Skype. 

Sophie Nicholson reports that:

"Since signing a deal in December with Internet telephony giant Skype, the company's server has crashed five times after tens of thousands of web users rushed to download the lie detector, offered for free."

Just my humble opinion: "Desire line is where the rubber of Creative Commons meets the road of Business Models."
