Arguments: 1. However the internet means that maps could easily be regularly updated online by enthusiastic users and volunteers as things change on the ground if those maps were available under creative commons .
2. This is why applications like openstreetmap or google maps -LRB- which is not creative commons but can be easily built upon by creative commons projects -RRB- are now much more successful than traditional mapping and has often forced government map providers to follow suit such as the UKs Ordnance Survey making many of its maps free and downloadable .
3. It is important to recollect that those operating under a creative commons license still maintain control of the marketable aspects of their work and can enter into deals for the commercial distribution of their works .

5. The nature of the internet and mass media is such that many creators can benefit from the freedom and flexibility that creative commons licenses furnish to them .
6. Creative commons provides vast benefits in allowing a creation to have life after its funding has run out or beyond its original specifications .

4. This is because people see those earning the least struggling to pay a fine , whilst the rich are able to pay that fine easily , without making any significant sacrifices .
5. Consequently , if people deem law-enforcement to be unfair in one regard , they are less likely to trust it in other circumstances .
6. Third , it is important that the justice system is seen to be impartial , rather than favouring any particular group , because it is only under such circumstances that its designations of acts as crimes can be seen as a true reflection of what you ought and ought not to do , rather than just what would be in the interests of a given group .
7. People would then see the law being applied in such a way as to punish all , not just certain sections of society .
8. This will improve perceptions of -LRB- and consequently , relations with -RRB- the justice and law enforcement systems .
9. It is important that justice is seen to be done , as well as occurring -LRB- sometimes referred to as the Principle of Open Justice -RRB- , for several reasons .

7. This growing problem shows that education is not enough to incentivize people to control themselves .
