Comment on What is the Anti Commercial-Al license and why do people keep adding it to their comments?

  Likely because it’s blatant misinformation and very spammy. Licences permit additional use, they do not restrict use beyond what copyright already does. I imagine there’d be fewer downvotes if they didn’t incorrectly claim licencing their content was somehow anti-AI. Still spammy and pointless, but at least not misinformation.

  Imagine if someone ended every comment with “I DO NOT GRANT PERMISSION TO LAW ENFORCEMENT TO READ THIS COMMENT. ANY USE OF THIS COMMENT BY LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR ANY REASON IS ILLEGAL. THIS COMMENT CANNOT BE USED AS EVIDENCE AGAINST ANY NON-LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONS IN RELATION TO ANY CRIME.”

  A bit silly, no?

    Thanks for this; this is now my signature line when dealing with one of these people.

    As a lawyer, what’s your opinion on the CC BY-NC-SA v4 license?

      Ironic, considering you are undoubtedly not a lawyer and have evidently never even dealt with copyright issues.

      CC licences are handy copyleft licences to allow others to use your work with minimal effort. Using them to restrict what others can do is a fundamental misunderstanding of how copyright works. If you want to restrict others’ use of your work copyright already handles that, a licence can only be more permissive than default copyright law. You can sign a contract with another party if you want to further restrict their use of their work, but you’ll generally also have to give them something in return for the contract to be valid (known as “consideration”). If you wish to do so you can include a copyright notice (eg “Copyright © 2024 onlinepersona. All rights reserved.”) but that hasn’t been a requirement for a long time.

        How is it ironic? I never said I was a lawyer, nor did I ever say I was giving legal advice, nor have I ever spoken with authority on the subject.

        You however… can’t see the irony of your own statement.

    Its not, and feel free to block people who ‘spam’, vs. trying to format the whole Internet to look just like how you want it to look.

  A lot of this hate feels a bit manufactured because I can’t honestly think of a good reason why so many would be so against this.

  At this point I’m pretty sure its AI model creating astroturfers desperating trying to get people to not license their content (comments).

  If its instead just anti-social people being tools for corporations, then I weep for the species.
