Frankly, "then don't put your content on the Internet" would have been the response 20 years ago. But that conflicted with making money over an ultra-low-cost, global, distribution medium so something had to give-way.
The early days of the Web had a real new-frontier feel, as if the common man had finally found a platform for communicating with the World. It was heady and thrilling.
But DRM, and content restrictions in general[0], is a rude reminder that the Web nowadays is primarily commercial and centralised and is run for profit, not enlightenment or sharing, and that creates an emotional response in many people. Perhaps that response is irrational, but it's widespread and deeply-set.
A closing question: why do you want to put photographs on the Internet but also want to control what people do with them? Why not just keep them on your NAS, nice and safe?
[0] I consider anything like -NC-ND to be content restrictions.
- tunap 10y ago"Perhaps that response is irational..." No argument to your points, but the quoted sentence deserves a response: It is not irrational to expect a product/service that is, and has always been, advertised as open & shared to be open & shared. False advertising, data sequestration and shady patterns are antonymous to the claims.
