Creative Commons licence upheld in Bulgarian court

Veni Markovski tells us that a Bulgarian court has ruled that the terms of a Creative Commons licence are valid and must be obeyed when distributing the work in question.

The Bulgarian blogger Elenko Elenkov filed a lawsuit against the newspaper
"24 hours" for having used one of his photos, licenced under the
CreativeCommons BY-SA, in one of their edition on 20 September 2007 on the
cover page and on page 3. The picture did not mention the author or the
licence used, but rather attributed the photo on page 3 to "The Internet".

Ouch.
