Ive seen that pixelfed and peertube have the ability to add a licence to content. I think this would be great for everyone so we can get ahead of threads and have collective bargaining power when they inevitable put our content between ads.
Heres the pixelfed duscyssion on the issue: https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/13 Here is mastadons discussion: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/20079
Im not sure if lemmy has a discussion yet i may create one later if one doesnt already exist.
Really how is using my content to get people to view your ads not using it for commercial purposes?
They’re not using your content they’re using their own websites screen space
So a licwnce forbidding the showing of content on a page with ads would solve this problem?
Unlikely that any of us can answer this question properly unless we happen to know detailed laws for every country in the world. If we want a real answer we can trust then we’d need a statement from someone like the EFF otherwise our “licence” is barely more than one of those chain-letter comments saying “I do not give Facebook the right to do X”.
Your comment could not be googled either. You’re aware of that, right?
Also: Welcome to fair use, the amazing provision that got snuck in the DMCA which is otherwise a shitshow. Not only does this allow English Wikipedia to use copyrighted movie posters in articles about those movies, it’s also the backdoor used legitimizing reaction videos. People could quote your comments, make a reaction around them, boom, fair use.
