Alright, y’all. Follow-up on this poll as promised…

Creative Commons published it. Afterward they shared their perspective on AI vs CC content. In short, “to get a sense of the various views on this question, we launched a Twitter poll where nearly half of respondents said, ‘it depends.’ We agree.”

They made some questionable comments about it…

“Source code provisions” are an essential aspect of copyleft licenses — even for those designed for non-software works.

Much work remains to determine how to draft a “source code provision” for non-software. Copyleft-next hopes to get there eventually. Maybe #CreativeCommons could help!

The two previous pages were erased somehow. So I am going through the text again. They will be up again soon.

Take heart, I think our top is about 51°C in Australia, wild fires burn hot enough to create tornadoes & throw fire trucks (1000°C+). The other ½ the country is frequently underwater. And,
It's only just begun!
If we stop now, #CC will keep escalating for 100-200 years or more but it'll slow down and we might even get down to +1•5 again at some point.

lets be real. just like in meatspace, there will be no law or regulation that is going to fix this issue. we need dirtier tactics. a world that is safe from climate destroying, anti-social ai is a world that rids itself of it.

404 Media · Websites are Blocking the Wrong AI Scrapers (Because AI Companies Keep Making New Ones)Hundreds of sites have put old Anthropic scrapers on their blocklist, while leaving a new one unblocked.

okay fedi, i finally caught up a little on the #cc #creativecommons #signals thing.

so like... there just isn't going to be a CC-NFAI (No Fucking AI) option? CC's idea of being proactive is helplessly embracing this shit and then asking the owners of AI scrapers to pretty please give credit and maybe some money based on *their* financial means? I wouldn't say this to a fellow human under normal circumstances but with respect to AI scrapers, how about fuck your financial means, you should have asked the price before you stole my shit?

Also, maybe I'm misunderstanding the whole thing, so feel free to clarify anything I stated incorrectly.

Creative Commons · Introducing CC Signals: A New Social Contract for the Age of AI - Creative CommonsCC Signals © 2025 by Creative Commons is licensed under CC BY 4.0 Creative Commons (CC) today announces the public kickoff of the CC signals project, a new preference signals framework designed to increase reciprocity and sustain a creative commons in the age of AI. The development of CC signals represents a major step forward…

I understand that Creative Commons is just a licensing framework. I don’t expect the organization to champion my art, to recognize the value of my work, or to offer thanks — that's never been the point.

But if CC becomes a label that, through initiatives like these "signals", effectively tells the world, "These are the artists who are fine with being exploited", then something has gone terribly wrong.

Exciting new horrors for us to confront: the #CreativeCommons organization has decided, inexplicably, to roll out some kind of "pro AI scraping" signals in web requests - based on an expectation of "good faith" from those doing the scraping (????)

This is such a boneheaded decision, and I hope everyone rightfully blasts them for it. CC has (had) a purpose which it fulfilled admirably. It should continue fighting for the rights of its users, not bending to AI companies and rolling out the welcome mat to rampant theft.

Ich habe zwei Fragen an Menschen, die sich mit #Urheberrecht, speziell #CreativeCommons auskennen:

Ich finde, dass diese wichtige Publikation hier eine große Reichweite bekommen sollte. Sie ist unter der #CC BY-ND 4.0 #Lizenz veröffentlicht. Damit ist ja eine Weitergabe nach Veränderung nicht erlaubt (ich verstehe gut die Intension dahinter).
Aus Gründen der Zugänglichkeit würde ich den Text aber gerne sowohl ins deutsche übersetzten, als auch die grafische Gestaltung vom Satz her überabearbeiten und ein barrierefreies PDF daraus machen.

  1. Wie verhält es sich mit Übersetzungen bei Werken unter CC BY-ND (Namensnennung, keine Bearbeitung)? Gilt übersetzen als unerlaubte Veränderung?
  2. Verstoße ich gegen die Lizenz, wenn ich den Text in neuer Form gestalte/setzte (als Grafikdesigner z.B. Schrift, Farben, grafische Elemente und Illustration verändere)?

ZenodoThe Anti-Autocracy Handbook: A Scholars' Guide to Navigating Democratic BackslidingThe Anti-Autocracy Handbook is a call to action, resilience, and collective defence of democracy, truth, and academic freedom in the face of mounting authoritarianism. It tries to provide guidance to scholars navigating the growing global trend of democratic backsliding and autocratization, in particular in the U.S. To this end, it sets out how autocracies often follow a common playbook, built around the “3 Ps”: populism, polarization, and post-truth. Leaders present themselves as voices of “the people” against “corrupt elites”, inflame societal divisions, and undermine facts to avoid accountability. This leads to a cascade of dangers for scholarship, including censorship, restrictions on funding and research collaboration, and even violence. The Trump administration serves as a contemporary example, with policies that curtail international scientific cooperation, revoke research grants, and suppress studies related to public health, climate change and minority issues. Because open inquiry and dissent are central to science and academia—qualities antithetical to authoritarian control—academia is often among the first targets of autocrats. To help scholars resist authoritarian developments, the handbook highlights both historic and contemporary measures aimed at attacking scholars, their institutional environments, and their scholarship. The handbook also sets out a framework for action based on personal risk level—low, medium, high, or extreme. This is designed to help scholars think about their own risk and purposefully choose actions in line with it. The handbook considers tools for enhancing digital safety and highlights the importance of ongoing documentation, preserving imperilled data, and creating distributed archives as a defence against erasure. It also calls on scholars to tell their stories—publicly or anonymously—to inspire others, maintain accountability and preserve a historical record. Accompanying the handbook is a living wiki that will continue to incorporate new developments and provide updates on global efforts by scholars to push back against authoritarianism and safeguard the democratic foundations that enable free inquiry.

This 2018 interview with Emily Richards (aka #MadameSnowflake), highlights a range of issues #ccMixter have had with CC-license compliance on YouTub. Things I hadn't thought of too, like how to detect posting other people's CC music as if you're the creator;

Makes me wonder how all this could be handled on PeerTube servers, and other media hosts in the fediverse, to make the experience better for both artists and hosts.
