@CAAP rajouter pour les canadiens les termes "usage loyal"

vitrinelinguistique.oqlf.gouv.

mais qui est remplacé par "Utilisation équitable" dans la législation canadienne.

Et aussi important pour les canadiens: "exceptions au droit d'auteur"

@hack , I've been using a "license where you're not allowed to attribute the original author and must pretend that you wrote it yourself" (of a sort) on a non-software work, my personal FAQ (linuxmafia.com/~rick/faq/), for decades.

I wanted to permit either verbatim replication with attribution, preserving my views intact, or unrestricted CC-style remixing and morphing of my personal views but with blowback towards me from third-party changes averted by the altered work being required to be asserted to be someone else's. So, the wording is:

"Copyright (C) 1995-2023 by Rick Moen. Verbatim copying, distribution, and display of this entire article (page) are permitted in any medium, provided this notice is preserved. Alternatively, you may create derivative works of any sort for any purpose, provided your versions contain no attribution to me, and that you assert your own authorship (and not mine) in every practical medium."

federate.social/@dmarti described this licence (when I concocted it in the '90s), as "bastard reverse copyleft", and wisely cautioned about legal uncertainties owing to its novelty. (/me nods to teh.entar.net/@spacehobo)

We sued for peace in the Copyright Wars, and millions of us turned the battlefield into a garden.

#CreativeCommons #CopyrightWars #Copyfight

Those of us who were weary of grinding trench warfare of the Napster Wars saw peace in our time, as the number of works in the Commons ballooned, first to millions, then tens of millions, then billions, then tens of billions.

We turned the battlefield into a public park, and people from all walks of life and every part of the world came to that park and planted a garden. It was a true Commons, open to all, carefully tended. In a world of selfishness, greed, belligerence and enmity, the Commons was a beacon of civilization.

Creative Commons’ success was a sign that the internet could be a place of cooperation and collaboration, not just a Big Tech hydraulic press that crushed our social relationships, our creative efforts, and our hopes and dreams until every drop of juice had been extracted, leaving shattered and dry husks behind.

Giving away your copyrights is harder than cancelling an internet subscription.

#CreativeCommons #Copyfight #Copyleft

For a creator who wants their work shared, copyright is like one of those sleazy internet subscription offers that you sign up for with a couple of low-friction clicks, but which you can only get out of by spending an afternoon being wheedled over the phone by a customer service rep in a distant call-center.

Actually, it’s worse, because in this case, the “customer service rep” is a copyright lawyer who charges you thousands of dollars just to give away the thing you didn’t want to own in the first place.

Worse still: every person who hopes to make use of your work needs to hire their own copyright lawyer to hunt down hidden gotchas in that license and ensure that you have a well-founded basis to take the creator at their word when they tell you that you’re permitted to use their work as you see fit.

That’s where Creative Commons licenses come in. Anyone who wants to release their work for public re-use need only visit the Creative Commons website and step through a simple process to choose their permissions. Do you want to grant permission for commercial use, or restrict permission to noncommercial users? Do you want to limits re-use to exact copies, or will you permit remixes (“derivative uses,” in copyright jargon)? Can the people who integrate your work into their own creations release them under any terms they chose, or must they also release them under the Creative Commons license as you (“ShareAlike”)?

Since I've been here for a bit now.

I've been directly and indirectly involved in designing software user interfaces since the late 1990's. I'm currently working in the design team at Sainsbury's in the UK.

Also: playing (see bio), , the , networks and culture, and . Have shaken the hands of two serving US presidents. Speak reasonable Japanese. I own more hard drives than I have shirts.

On Doctorow's website, he shares a link to this article as a good look at some takeaways from the book:

1. Copyright is all about locks
2. Copyright law is privacy law
3. Copyright law weakens security
4. Copyright law is surveillance and censorship law

I recently read through "Information Doesn't Want to Be Free" by Cory Doctorow (with forewords by Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer!), and many mentioned instances of tech overreach are stuck in my head. Not to mention success stories of creators and non-DRM creations.
