Yastreb, wow. That escalated quickly. It’s a bit sad, that such a carefully chosen phrase (what are those planes even...) ended in such an acidic encounter.
I’m conflicted about adding licenses to "works" I publish. I’d like to say "use this in whatever way you want" or "use this however you want but mention that you used material of me" in a way that is both assuring for other artists and not overly in-the-face for non-artists. And my perfectionism wants to be certain that it is somehow "legally waterthight", which I can’t really guarantee myself, because I don’t know these legal stuffs very well.
How about this: stating a license is a guarantee for the "user" of the "work" that the creator won’t sue them. So when I intend to share something under e.g. CC0 or
CC-BY, then it doesn’t matter whether the way I mentioned the license is "legally waterthight", since I won’t sue them (as long as I don’t think the license is violated), "wo kein Kläger, da kein Richter". I probably will never sue anybody about any work of mine, ’cause I don’t expect me to create anything that anyone else would want to plagiarize etc...
What am I getting all worked up about this? I didn’t even create
much. Probably my perfectionism and the "publish nothing without a license" of programming which combine. I could well do with less of the former.
So thanks for playing rubber-ducky. I settled on attaching "License: CC BY 4.0" or similar to the music-scores I make. I’m not so sure about texts & pictures...
Have other people here ever broke their heads about this? (Dunno a better english version of "sich den Kopf über etwas zerbrechen", which means thinking very hard about something)
P.S.: It’s great how one can do time-travel on the forum. I found a
post/time where Haiz wasn’t feeling well. And I thought: wow, this person is very much like me. ~20, never had a job, no driving license, some difficulty studying (my difficulty is different), living with the parents. Well, the last point is different starting today. I moved. So stressful & tiring I tell you, but hopefully worth it. Nothing I did was physically tiring, but I was just hit with waves of feelings that made me tired & stressed. Also, the feeling "very spoiled and privileged" I can also feel very much. I’ll be reading more into that time-period after finishing the edit.
Is this whole forum a place where people can come to talk, like a bar or "general meeting place" or "shared living room"? Because I so much long for something like that. I so much miss (just) talking to people and not having to think thrice about what I say, as I often do when writing.
It seems weird to me, that this is all bubbling up in me. I think I’ll go to bed soon, today was stressful. And the near future will be a little stressful as well. Well. Be well everyone.
P.P.S.: Ooh, forgot to mention: I already saw Haiz’s art and posts and thought "that’s a nice person making nice art etc.", and the above-mentioned post made me think "if this person is/was so similar to me now, I think I can be nice as well etc.". For some appropriate definition of "nice" of course.
And note, that I didn’t read the earlier description of Haiz’ experiences before the above linked post before writing the above. They seem a bit more dissimilar to mine.
