Ive seen that pixelfed and peertube have the ability to add a licence to content. I think this would be great for everyone so we can get ahead of threads and have collective bargaining power when they inevitable put our content between ads.

Heres the pixelfed duscyssion on the issue: https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/13 Here is mastadons discussion: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/20079

Im not sure if lemmy has a discussion yet i may create one later if one doesnt already exist.

They can place ads under CCBYNC photos though. It just would mean people cant sell the photos themself not the space around the photos

Really how is using my content to get people to view your ads not using it for commercial purposes?

They’re not using your content they’re using their own websites screen space

So a licwnce forbidding the showing of content on a page with ads would solve this problem?

Your comment could not be googled either. You're aware of that, right?

Also: Welcome to fair use, the amazing provision that got snuck in the DMCA which is otherwise a shitshow. Not only does this allow English Wikipedia to use copyrighted movie posters in articles about those movies, it's also the backdoor used legitimizing reaction videos. People could quote your comments, make a reaction around them, boom, fair use.

It depends. If the photographer uploads the photo to a platform, the photographer gives that platform permission to use it under the platform's EULA. The platform cannot legally crawl the web for NC images and then make money off placing ads around them.

Do you think the following would fly in a court? "We, the Walt Disney Corporation, do not profit off the non-commercial assets used in the Avengers movie that we found on an asset store. We profit of everything around those assets. Those assets are distributed free of charge, the movie around those assets isn't."
