Key: GUI-23
Summary: Like "What's New" but for legal downloads.
Type: New Feature

Status: Open
Priority: Major

Description:
Maybe to encourage legal file sharing.

You should have filters to only show Creative Commons Licensed files, and have links to creative commons, and on how to sign files as a creative commons files... (I'm wondering if then people will just sign all their copyrighted mp3s as CC, hehe)

Also, something like "What's new" but, "What's Legal"

I'm really curious to find out honestly what's legal on the network.

The problem with this networks is that you don't know what to look for, unless there's a site that acts as a directory.

I love the what's new feature, and the porn filter, why not have an "ilegal filter" then? probably search results will be dramatically reduced (to zero) but it would encourage people to share their own creations.. we'd start to see new famous faces out of the internet thanks to things like this.

The question is not so much stupid. But using such proposed filter would
only expose legal files that have an explicit CreativeContent licence.

There are tons of legal files that don't have CreativeContent licences,
starting by domain-public files, and almost all files created at home by
users themselves. So such a filter would not expose them, and the results
would be too much restricted for now.

The absence of a CreativeLicence does not mean it is illegal. And also the
presence of such licence is still not a guarantee that the file transfer is
legal (there may be abusive licences appended to copyrighted files, or the
content may be illegal in some regions even if the licence is valid).
