@marjoleink !Copyright law grants creators exclusive monopoly control. Your !CC license is your exercise of that exclusive control.
-
@lauuerlrusswurm I still disagree with 'monopoly' in this context. There is NO market I control...
-
@laurelrusswurm ...but I agree that I have the tight (granted by my author's right) to use a CC license - or any other license.
-
s/tight/right/ - I should go to bed!
-
@laurelrusswurm even so, here people have the right to make personal copies and I have NO control over that (nor do I want to)
-
@marjoleink You control the market in your work...
-
@robmeyers once again (ad infinitum) that does not constitute a 'market' as others can compete with me even if my work is unique
-
@robmeyers my 'market' is defined also by the buyers, not solely by what I, as an individual, produce.
-
@marjoleink people here used to have the right to make personal copies, and our new copyright law allows this, unless there are TPMs (DRM)
-
@marjoleink one of the worst things about !copyright law is that it changes depending on who lobbies the hardest
-
@marjoleink I don't have a right to choose a !CC license for *your* work~ that's your monopoly; you can choose © emancipation ~ as you have
-
@laurelrusswurm I do not have any monopoly for anything - but I do have a right to choose a CC license
-
@marjoleink of for the love of $DEITY, will you PLEASE check the definition of monopoly? you - the author - are the ONLY supplier of a
-
@marjoleink particular commodity - that being your particular work. whether or not you are willing to sell it, and somebody is willing to
-
@marjoleink buy it, is irrelevant as far as the definition goes. copyright gives you - the author - a MONOPOLY on selling YOUR work.
-
@marjoleink you have the *power* to stop others from using works you authored, and the option to give it up (couldn't sleep; retrying)
