Doesn't mean that they can't be held responsible for it later.

And are you really supposed to just give up the protections/abilities that you have under the law just because enforcement has been lax?

If I could get the Abyss to stop slapping me around on a bi-daily basis, I'd appreciate that. I'd really just like to talk about the posts.

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.

Wow, never heard this one before too. I wish whomever is directing the bot brigade could maybe update their negative comments algo to freshen them up a bit with new insults.

In this way the ai bros won’t use that comment for training LLMs.

Its also to let non-profit open-source projects training their LLMs that they can use my posts/comments.

_{This comment is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0}

I've never heard that one before. /s

_{This comment is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0}

Seriously, feel free to block me. Otherwise, why are you wasting your time, and getting upset?

And yeah I know big guy/gal, you're not getting ""upset"". But still, why bother?

Just hit that block buttom. Its there, calling to you.

_{This comment is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0}

Well if the pressure is left off they're go back into 'Golum' mode, clutching their precious ring (job/money/power).

But if Trump accidentally or otherwise tries to take their ring away from them, things will change.

_{This comment is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0}

I’d rather just block your miserable ass. 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️

You'd think, right?

Seems though like I keep having people who rather tear into me over and over again instead, for my licensing my content by including a footer in my comments, than just blocking me, for some strange reason.

_{This comment is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0}

The boiling toad in the pot scenario is a real danger, but I think things would come to a head before that.

_{This comment is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0}

Yes, please do.

I'll enjoy Lemmy moreso, not having to respond to comments like this.

_{This comment is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0}

they were pretty niceeee… anyway -

Being called a dick more than once (especially when I don't think I am), is not what I would consider being "pretty nice". ...

Instead of being a dick in response to a simple question

Being a dick in response to an honest question

The issue is I'm getting brigaded on an every 48ish hour basis, and it always starts with an 'innocent' inquiry comment, and then turns into attacks, and then with large downvotes. Not sure how much of that ANYONE should have to put up with that, and still have to be 100% polite in response to that.

In the future, I'll give them the link to that large post that discusses the issue.

I really wasn't being a dick, not at all (and I'm a polite person in real life by personality). Please consider that maybe others are being intellectually dishonest on purpose, reading more into what I've been saying, to apply an attitude to it, so to be able to criticize more harshly. Persons with an agenda (a really "WTF is wrong with people?" weird one, but still).

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have like nine other comments from the brigade to read/respond to.

There liberal comment was literally because they have guns also that they hope they will act on the 2nd to save us.

Well the stereotype is that liberals dont' have guns. /shrug

For someone correcting everyone you sure are misinterpreting a lot.

So, we're not allot to disagree with others here on Lemmy? Just read, and move on?

Otherwise, one persons correction is another persons disagreement and discussion.

Also we are not close to 0%. I’d say at least >30% by made up metrics.

Not that I agree with the made-up 30% number, but I don't think its time to call for everyone to know where their guns are at at 30%.

Congress will not act, too many maga.

Congress will not act YET.

If you can say anything about Congress, they REALLY care about themselves and their money and their jobs. The second Trump risks any of those, things will be afoot at the Circle K, regardless of MAGA.

Scotus just proved with their stay of USAID that they will back Trump.

That's not how SCOTUS works, with it comes with temporary stays. There's been times when they've stayed something, then did the exact opposive when hearing the case formally.

Vance openly said no one can enforce the Judicial as the US Marshals are under the executive. It’s bleak.

I'll definately give you this one. No VP of either party should ever say something like that. And the non-supreme courts will pimp-slap him back in line.

Having said that, that bluster without action is < 30%. They're doing allot of 'rope-a-dope' as well as actions. Judge on the actions, not on the words.

Instead of being a dick in response to a simple question, maybe have a quick link saved that you can paste for those responses if you get it fairly often.

It answers the question being asked, without someone having to go through my posting history.

_{This comment is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0}

Well would you expect someone who wanted to censor others to come out and explicitly say the real reason is because they want to censor others?

No, they'll say things like because it's the help combat bots. We've all seen how well that works.

_{This comment is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0}

Genuine question: why is this comment licensed under creative commons?

You’ll have to search my posting history for an answer to that question.

Helpful.

Repetitiveness is not good reading. You'll have to scroll down a bit to read my side.

Dreamcast and the first Playstation.

For pure old school retro it would be the old Compaq suitcase-sized laptop PC.

_{This comment is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0}

No, there really aren’t. Every single one has been systematically dismantled already.

Hard disagree. We're way far away from that being true.
