I am not a lawyer. Need a lawyer to figure out how to make it so we can prevent klones that blatantly ripoff NXT community's hard work.
For graphics, text we write, etc., it should be easy to put copyright and that automatically limits theft.
Something wrong with all these discussions about licences. This is a world of cryptoanarchy.
So you think is OK for FC to copy paste and then rip people off?
I want to prevent that. it is bad for NXT to be associated with ripoff artists
I won't talk about pictures and videos, I don't know how to protected them. But Nxt code is protected against frictionlesscoins. Right now if FC launched his coin based on current 0.5.11 binary, I would be able to kill this coin within 24 hours using a small java program and my notebook. This is how protection works in cryptoworld.
Makes sense. Then we just need to put copyright notices on all artwork, text, etc. That automatically provides legal protection from theft. I just want there to be a non-technical deterrent from thieves. As NXT gets bigger and bigger, it can't help but overlap the real world more and more.
Knowing identity of carlos allows credible legal threat to stop his nonsense. He doesn't care about actually running a coin, so your protection doesn't work. People will still get scammed and then might blame NXT.

Copyright is automatic at the time of creation. You just need to be able to prove you made the first copy. That's how it works in creative works.
Also, it depends on the artist/creator what to do with it. Maybe they wánt CC.
Not trying to put a downer on it, but in this niche (crypto), adding a (c) to things would probably be very much anti-marketing. I would be very hesitant to do it at this point.
If someone like FC tries a stunt like that again, I would again invade his thread and first ask him to stop using the video's without permission.
Only after that, I'd use copyright.
As you can see in this thread, the word copyright and legality raises all kinds of red flags immediately.
No problem with protecting Nxt, but shouldn't we also think of more creative ways of doing it?
In short, it doesn't sit well with me.
