Yes, missing possiblity to set proper CC-copyleft that was one reason beside others why filmoj.net dried out. Even translation of some blog content (and movie subtitle, too) could be copyright infringement.

Alkanadi: The benefit for you is that people will copy your blog. Then they will link back to you. People will copy it in a plethora of ways.
I wouldn't want that. If someone likes my blog, they can simply link to it, they don't need to copy it on their site.

It is up to you. Maybe a better example would be a translation of your blog rather than an exact copy. Or, someone may take the written text and turn it into a podcast. I won't do any of these things but I just wanted to suggest it.

It can help spread your message further and help with SEO as well because people are forced to link back to the original source.

You don't need to publish under a Creative Commons license to have people link to your stuff and read your blog.

Isn't that stating the obvious?

erinja (Montri la profilon) 2016-junio-14 16:15:21

Right. It's obvious that people can link to the blog without giving special licensing permissions. Therefore there is no point in giving special Creative Commons permissions, just so someone can copy your stuff and use your content to drive traffic to their own website rather than to yours. Fortunately there are a million ways of promoting your work and driving traffic to your blog post without telling people that it's ok to go ahead and copy your stuff.

With all due respect, I don't think you understand how Creative Commons works. You didn't even know what a Non-Commercial license was until I showed you. If you don't know anything about Creative Commons then why are you making assertions about it?

Well I know exactly what they are, in their different iterations, I have used them when distributing software and documents in the past. And it was me who made the initial objection.

There are loads of news organisations, as an example, who tolerate republishing of articles so long as a link to the original content is made. That's enough really. The strictest of the CC licenses is basically offering the same thing, but why bother when you have that anyway since a blog post is auto copyrighted and you just allow republishing with a link?

I'm not against CC licenses at all, but I don't like parasites who are salivating in the wings over content created by someone else's hard work; so they can use it for a quick repackaging job for an easy commercial opportunity. It also means that your content can easily turn up in places you might not want it to be.

Then use a Non-Commercial license like Ted Talks does.

1- I have no intentions of using this particular blog, or any Esperanto related blog. Just in cause you were thinking that.

2- These salivating parasites can be used for your own benefit. It is like an internet megaphone to get your message out to a broader audience.

3- These salivating parasites can help you build legacy for your work. Your work will never die.

For your personal interest, check out Kevin Oleary's story about how he become a billionaire. I suspect you won't like it but it is something of interest.
