DMS- The Pros & Cons
Pros: One is happy to share his/her product to let another artists creativity to create more products.
Cons: Not every artists wants to share or lyk people refine their works, they prefer it to be copyrighted.
My opinion is that some of our works can be shared through CC but some may not, its depends.
