I know what the Creative Commons is but not this new thing or why it keeps popping up in comments on Lemmy

    The CC requires copyright holders to contact companies that violate the license and give them 30 days to remediate.

    I highly doubt:

    • people who put the CC-BY-NC license in their comment will troll AI bots to see if their specific comments are being used
    • those same people can prove to the company that their comment was used
    • the company will actually take them at their word and remove their comments from their training data
    • even if all of the above are true, can afford an attorney let alone sustain that attorney through the case
    • even if all of the above are true, prevail in a court of law

    I think people adding the license is fine. It’s your comment. Do whatever. I don’t think it’s as harmful as sovereign citizens using their own license plate for “traveling”.

      I’m retired, and have money, so you never know. 😇

      Plus also, it’s also about future legislation, and putting a stake in the ground now. As it is, corporations are fighting each other over their content being used freely to program other corporations AI models, so I’m expecting a lot of lobbying money flying around in Washington just about now.

      And finally, just because enforcement might be difficult, doesn’t mean a license can’t still be used.
