Blogging Alert: Must Have Tool to Prevent Copy Infringement
Ok. An article came out about this a couple days ago but I was waiting for my invite to come through and it just came through! The new program is called FairShare and it does a lot. Basically it lets you attribute your work and it’s pretty simple to use. First you need an invite. You can try to be one of the first 1000 beta testers and you can read the original article here. Sorry, I meant to get the word out to let more people in on this but I didn’t have much to say unless I could try it out. They might allow more than 1000 people too, it’s hard to say.
Ok, like I said this is about attribution of your work. You can learn more about licensing your work here. (I do want to say one thing first. I think all information should be shared freely. I don’t think anyone should be able to turn a profit off someone else’s work but in the digital age we need to find some middle ground. I am sick and tired of seeing people suing other people for so called copy infringement. They are some people who are preying on others who simply don’t know any better. I think it’s ok to ask someone not to copy your work and if they refuse, sure take some recourse. But this isn’t open hunting season either. There are photographers who are taking crappy pictures and basically waiting to pounce on the next person who uses them on the web. This is sick and wrong. Art is meant to be shared freely. The same goes with information.)
It’s up to you to decide what license you choose. I am sticking to my guns. If someone draws upon my ideas then they have created their own idea in my opinion.
Ok the plan was to show it in action but apparently it takes 12 hours to populate the list. Please stay tuned for part 2.
The other big reason why this thing is so great is you can track who is linking to your articles and who is publishing your content. It’s not always a bad thing for your content to be republished and it’s why I am giving my stuff away as long as they send me a link!
