It is not, i licence my stuff CC attribution, sharealike,
non-commercial. So, if you want to use my stuff, go ahead but dont
forget to mention me ;-)
And if you see a chance to make money with it (and i certainly do not
speak about a free beer and a 20 buckaroos or so for a gig, or even
selling a hundred selfmade CDs a year }:-] )
Why else would I want to protect my IP other than making as much money
as possible from it?
Because i want to keep my personal expressions linked to my name.
Art transforms over time through the application of
skills and knowledge
learnt. If we get precious about other artists incorporating our work
then we are just trying to stop a natural process of evolution. From my
POV that is absolutely 100% pointless.
Well now, this is like some stupid popstar, that does not mention the
musicians, that played his recording on the CD-cover.
However, if you want to make money from your art and
you want make sure
that others who make money from using your art are forced to share
their profit with you it makes sense to license your work with very
strict conditions.
So if Trent Reznor would take your tracks to illustrate the next Oliver
Stone Movie and would not trow you a single cent (from the some
10thousends he gets for it) and would not even mention your name but
claim to be the sole creator of the soundtrack that would be OK then...
That way you can sue if the money is worth it and keep
another industry
ticking over too. Plus you get all the other benefits like being able to
say your suing "XXX" for theft of your art work while your rubbing
shoulders with lesser mortals at the next society event. And if you are
really lucky the person you are suing will be there too and you can get
really artistic and have a drunken fight or break something... I mean if
you are going to have the airs of being and important artist you might
as well revel in it... Right?
Not right, for i would not use the corrupt and stupid "copyright" law to
get my claims in the first place but ask the user of my stuff for some
respect personally without a lawyer involved.
There really is something between the established industry-slavery and
total unawareness of authorship.
