Subject: Re: [cc-devel] Interesting problem

It indeed looks like the scraper needs a thorough rebuild to be

properly used in todays internet. One solution to bypass this is to create
a tool that works on the licensor page, not on the deed page. That way we
would be able to use the info on that page and not look for referrers.

Yes, that's the idea behind client tools, I guess the latest iteration
of which was OpenAttribute. These days, or rather for many years now,
javascript the publisher could include on their site would be nice.

Which you could argue is something the Creative Commons should perhaps

never do in the first place..

I did, long ago, and eventually gave up. :-\

You are right on the attributionURL, but from a practical position it

makes it more difficult to have a license in the footer of your page right.
Because now I need to add logic instead of some static line of code.

attributionURL=""
Empty string is the current page. It does work with the scraper.
This is my favorite kind of enhancement -- gained by only deletion.
Mike
