replace lemmy.world with whatever else you think is a better choice for it

Clarification: reposting here refers to reposting done by another person who was not the original poster

        Do you think that people generally need to ask permission before reposting something (non-OC, anyhow) that was shared on a public forum?

          I reckon that this topic is - at least partly - about my desire to not have my OC insta reposted by them. So it is about OC.

          I don’t mind the normal cross post, but this half automated reposting, with the stated goal to reduce the already measly interaction i get posting niche stuff, that i don’t like. But apparently, at least according to @SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world , I need to see a mental health expert for taking issue with that.

            1. They did not falsely claim to be the OC creator, and they credited you.

            2. This is a public forum. If you intend to make money off of it later, you shouldn’t be freely posting the images publically without any watermarking. I don’t know what jurisdiction would apply here on this federated forum, but to give an example of one of the most litigated jurisdictions, the USA:

            Copyright exists automatically in an original work of authorship once it is fixed, but a copyright owner can take steps to enhance the protections. The most important step is registering the work. Registering a work is not mandatory, but for U.S. works, registration (or refusal) is necessary to enforce the exclusive rights of copyright through litigation. Timely registration also allows copyright owners to seek certain types of monetary damages and attorney fees if there is a lawsuit, and also provide a presumption that information on the registration certificate is correct.

            Copyright registration also provides value to the public overall. It facilitates the licensing marketplace by allowing people to find copyright ownership information, and it provides the public with notice that someone is claiming copyright protection. It also provides a record of this nation’s creativity.

            Perhaps you should register your works if you are serious about it.

            1. Crossposting doesn’t re-upload, it still links to your original image. This is essentially someone finding your website, and admires an image, then share the link to the image. If you go to your profile and delete it, its also gone from the crosspost.

            2. @cm0002@lemmy.world For news articles, links or even c/asklemmy questions, its totally fine. For OC content, I’d probably just try to not piss off people. Like it’s not morally wrong or anything, I get that you intent is just wanting to share, but like… if the original creator explicitly asked you not to… I’d just not.

              Thank you. I certainly don’t have the ambition to make money off off my content, I just want to share it and have fun without being bothered by this person and have my content dragged into political obsessions. That’s it. It would be nice if they could just leave me alone, but they don’t.

                  I may cross post whenever I see fit, sure, but I have no interest to have my content in our no-life-bot’s toxic repost cloaca.

            FYI, it’s not automated, the most automation I use is notifications. Everything else is done completely manually. And crossposting is easy, a notification comes in and I can take care of it in most cases right away wherever I’m at because, ya know, smartphones LOL it just takes me a few minutes lmao

            Also, you’re slinging insults at or about mods, comms, admins and whole instances that have nothing to do with it so maybe that’s where they’re coming from on that lol

              I said half automated. I am slinging insults at you, and the mod, not instances wtf, that is your life’s mission. I sling insults at you because you ignored my polite requests to not please repost my content there.
