    It shows up in many of the threads he’s in, and judgments about his little signature dominate over anything he actually had to say.

    Yep, yep. Like right here for example. And this was going on 9-10 months ago too, its a bi-daily thing.

    A single line of text that is a link to a Creative Commons license really shouldn’t be pissing off so many people.

    I mean, do people also get pissed off when they scroll down the bottom of each and every Wikipedia page, and see the CC license there? Or read an news article that has a license footer at the end of the article?

    To be tinfoil hatty about it for a moment, I really do believe at this point that I’m being attacked repeatidly (every 48ish hours) by a bot brigade used by someone(s) who really doesn’t want others to start doing what I’m doing, licensing their content, by harassing me off of Lemmy.

    My licensing is not just to tell for-profit entities that they can’t use my content for free, its to tell non-profit open-source projects that they can use my content for free.

    I agree, but not in a “this guy is an idiot” kind of way,

    Yeouch. I thank you for the support, but damn that hurts too.

    For the record, I truly believe that the Safe Harbor laws, and that Laws trump ToS, means that I truly own the content that is being posted here (and so do you and everybody else who posts/comments, for that matter). Even if its not being inforced today, the laws are on the books, and this will come to a head a some point.

    I mean, look at whats going on right now with Mozilla/Firefox and their ToS changes. Corporations sure are not shy to use licensing of their content to the best of their abilities.

    Why should only corporations avail themselves and be protected by the law? Why is everybody else so quick to surrender the little protections under the law that they have, and to ridicule others who try to use the law to their benefit?

    Take a moment, and really think that one though. Its like there’s a Corporate version of Order 66 going on or something. 😜

    By the way echolalia@lemmy.ml, while I started to reply to you directly, the above is really a response to everyone who would be intellectually honest in judging my actions and take a moment to think it though before replying to me.

      When you wear a tinfoil hat out in public, the people snickering aren’t trying to tap into your brainwaves. Well, I mean shit, maybe they are. Depends on the drip.
