Let’s Reform Copyright. With A Sledgehammer. Into Smithereens.
For all the wonderful conversations that Creative Commons has started, I remain convinced that the only license they’ve put out that’s actually useful is CC0: the one that releases your entire work into the public domain. I love CC0, actually. I’ve found it to be a very effective anti-piracy technique; it literally makes it physically impossible for people to do anything illegal with my work.
Like the author, I love Creative Commons work, but outside of shaming abusers, there is the requirement for the appetite and resources to litigate.
There’s always the WTFPL.
