Is Creative Commons bad for Copyright?

While skimming through the articles I read some interesting stuff. The whole Obama picture copyright was pretty cool. You can track most people on Google images because of certain social networking sites. Most sites will let your pictures open to the world, meaning Google images. When someone found Obama's original picture on Google images, it's amazing how it was copyright already. That being said, other people probably found photos on Google images of famous people and edited their photos. Do you think it's right to take someone else's photo and edit it? Honestly, if it's not a picture of me, or someone in my family, I'm not going to edit it. It would be stealing. Now is Creative Commons bad for Copyright? I would have to say that Creative Commons and Copyright are two separate things, but that doesn't mean that Creative Commons is necessarily bad for copyright policy issues. Yes, I skimmed through the other articles, but the fact that someone can take a picture off Google images and edit it, was pretty interesting to me. Does that mean if someone found my picture on Google images, they can edit it? Or does it HAVE to be a copyright picture?
