Cultures that are based on knowledge sharing or where an artist’s reputation increases when he is copied have a hard time when western copyright regimes are introduces. This happens typically via trate-related treaties (like TRIPs) and not via Creative Commons licenses, as his essay might suggest.

This is a well discussed topic mainly in the open source world, see e.g. Daniel F. Olejko, “Charming a Snake: Open Source Strategies for Developing Countries Disillusioned With TRIPS,” 25 Penn St. Int’l L. Rev. 855 (available here: http://www.ivir.nl/courses/icl/materials2007/Developing%20Countries/DevelopingCountries.html).
