If I decide to self-publish a book what happens to the copyright? Is there a way to prevent others from claiming copyrights for a book published autonomously? Are there OS licenses specifically tuned for books?

    It’s useful as it makes it harder for AI to use it. Derivates can still reach out to ask to be allowed to sell it

      We shouldn’t throw humans under the bus just to thwart AI. This is not the way.

        I’m fine with making people email me if they want to sell derivatives of a creative work tho

          And if you’re dead or incarcerated or otherwise uncontactable?

            copyright will eventually expire after your death

            and cc nc does not prevent derivatives, just profiting off of them without explicit permission, which is not that big of a deal

              It is a big deal! Its the difference between starving and not

                  Making income from open licensing is the only ethical option, though.
