Would it work to just put your blog under a permissive distribution license (Creative Commons or the like)? I know nothing about the German legal system or the exact phrasing of this law; could someone with more domain knowledge comment on how this would interact with licensing terms?
- Tichy 14y agoI don't know the exact phrasing either. Also not sure if everybody wants to put their content under CC. I think the government could make this messy enough to even foil the CC plan. For example they could set it up like GEMA for music - there would be an entity distributing the money and collecting it on behalf of the content providers. Besides, is there a standard way yet to announce CC content? That would be necessary to make it work for search engines.
- atuttle 14y agoAFAIK this is the way to go: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Marking_works http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Marking_works
- zmmmmm 14y agoAnd then when your blog quotes or links to some other site (let's face it, a huge amount of blogging is discussion of news stories ...)? - they can't put that under CC and they might even be asked to pay for the privilege of linking to the story - they basically get hit both ways.
