Another step in the right direction (you almost think we'll get there some day): a search engine that indexes only Creative Commons licensed pages. Of course, this is only a step - such a search engine would not be useful for many purposed; copyright information needs, in the long run, to define a search field or a type of search, not a whole search engine. And in the search results, the copyright icon should not dwarf the link title. But, the main things is, people are now using copyright information as a search parameter. One step forward. Meanwhile, also check out BlogDigger blog serach engine, which provides search results in RSS. Something like this, I think, will eventually remove weblogs' dependence on comments.
