>>> Copy-art.net is a copyright-free website,

No it isn't. Creative Commons licenses are Copyright licenses. If it
was copyright-free it would be public domain.

This project would be so much more radical if it wasn't NC
(noncommercial). As it is, it doesn't challenge IP at all, because it
leaves commercial sustainability to existing IP regimes. The first
shared project to go BY-SA will be the *real *challenge to IP.
