I completely understand where you’re coming from, but let’s be real, it doesn’t matter. Copyright is for corporations to protect their assets, not for individuals. The legal system is set up in such a way that it can be weaponised by the wealthy, but is basically unusable by the poor.

If some company started selling your comment printed on a T-Shirt with no attribution, there is nothing you could really do about it unless you could get the story to go viral.

If a corporation wants to include their comments in an AI training dataset, it will. It won’t matter what license the comment is released under.

This is why I am pro-piracy, particularly against large corporations - because corporations don’t respect the copyright of individuals, so why should we respect their copyrights?
