I know what the Creative Commons is but not this new thing or why it keeps popping up in comments on Lemmy
ITT, a lot of ai bootlickers
My simple understanding of the idea is it forces AI companies to have to avoid taking those comments. If they did, they would need to provide attribution to the sources etc.
Time will tell if it works

That’s my understanding as well.
And yes, I can’t force them to be legal and to honor the license, but I can do my part, and hope those who are coding over on their side are open source minded, and are willing to honor the license.
Generally speaking, just because someone else may break the law doesn’t mean I can’t use the law to try to protect myself.
It doesn’t work.
By default you have complete ownership of all works you create. What that license link is doing is granting an additional license to the comment. (In this case likely the only available license.)
This means that people can choose to use the terms in this license rather than their “default” rights to the work (such as fair use which is which most AI companies are claiming). It can’t take away any of their default privileges.
If they even notice it, they will say that the website TOS is the relevant license.
Eirher way, they will just go ahead and use it. None of us have the resources or perseverance to prove anything and take them to court in a meaningful way.

Does Lemmy World’s TOS state that I do not own the content that I upload to their site?
It says nothing, so you have copyright on it.
Adding a restrictive license to it only means as much as you’re willing and able to police it yourself and take others to court and argue that they can not assume the same freedom of use of your comments that they can with the rest of the site.
As an individual, for comments of two sentences each, this is not an option.
What is the website ToS for different Lemmy instances, and does it really permit commercial use in AI?
As far as I can tell, they don’t prohibit it. Couldn’t find any mention of it in Lemmy.world TOS
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.
It’s the internet equivalent of a sovereign citizen putting a fake license plate on their car.
The ones they’re trying to “protect themselves” from do not give a shit.
By reading this comment you have entered in to a binding agreement to pay me $1000 per word.
I am not reading your comment, I am simply traveling through it with my eyeballs. Also your comment doesn’t have gold fringe and therefore lacks jurisdiction.
A personal request, based on this subject.
I would very much like to not be astroturfed/brigaded every 18 to 24 hours because I’m licensing my comments.
Usually the first comment is someone asking me why I’m using a license, then the second comment replying to the first comment is someone else chastising my intelligence and my usage of the license and saying I don’t know what I’m doing, and then explaining the completely wrong terms why I’m licensing it, and then the first person from the first comment replies with the third comment saying how dumb or silly or funny I am for doing that, rinse / repeat.
(A funny aside, the pattern I described above, the third comment was identical text, with days separating the two occurrences, and then later on someone went back and changed the third comment on the second most recent occurrence to be worded slightly different, after the fact.)
Another one is I get someone who goes on very very long diatribes asserting law and legalities (even though when I ask them if they are a lawyer they never answer, or they say no), using many paragraphed comments to tell me in every way why I’m wrong, but then finishing their diatribe off with how they really don’t care about the subject, but are just giving a friendly explanation to me why I’m getting downvoted, when I didn’t ask, and when voting wasn’t even being discussed.
And finally, the 10-15ish downvotes on every comment I’m making. (The one that really made me laugh was the one where I reply with one word, “Thanks”.)
Just leave me the f alone. If you don’t like seeing my comments with a license link, feel free to block me.
It’s really becoming harassment at this point.
Thank you for reading.
Yeah all of this hate just feels unnecessary. I’m sorry that @onlinepersona@programming.dev and you are going through this.
Just for the heads up I support you guys.
Thanks for the support 💗
I’m not very affected by it, honestly. It makes me chuckle that people get so offended about a link in a comment. Sometimes I respond, but quite often I block and move on.

You look through my history in the last fiveish days, you’ll see an excessive amount of people attacking me for using the license/link. You can only block so much before admins really need to and should step in and ‘tend to their garden’, especially if its being done by astroturfers and it borderlines on harassment.
Plus blocking here doesn’t keep them from seeing what you post and replying to it, only you seeing their replies. So I don’t consider it as actual blocking.
Just for the heads up I support you guys.
Thank you, its appreciated.

Its so, irrational, for a single link in a comment.
I’m still of the thinking that its astroturfers trying to prevent licenses from being used (which if true, would REALLY like Lemmy.World admins to start handling the astroturfers). Either that, or its the non-‘touch grass’ anti-social crowd, which seem to rule here on Lemmy.
Never expected this level of a Spanish Inquisition. /queueMontyPython
Its gotten even more aggressive today, both in this community, and in other communities that I’m posting in. Its following me around.
Well I think you could do a few things.
A) Talk to your admin about harassment and ask them to look into this when they can.
B) Start posting in communities that have a higher intolerance to this kind of behaviour (I’m thinking Beehaw communities)
C) Make a post on !anticorporate@lemmy.giftedmc.com and see if you can get even more people doing it.
I’m actually thinking of adding these to my posts as well now just to see more people’s reactions. Do you know of a way to automatically add it to the end of your posts?
