I've seen a lot of concern on the #Fediverse about how AI companies and (of all organisations!) the Internet Archive are engaged is massive plagiarism and content theft.

The problem here may, in fact, be in how #copyright itself works.

So, I'm proposing a new form of (optional) copyright that creators can apply to their works that will protect them from what they see is theft by these companies and organisations.

You're all free to copy this proposal and bring it to your legislators to see if they will build the legal framework.

A new form of copyright, where only you will ever be in control

copyright is automatically applied in the US to created works. No action needed.

Normal copyright, yes. My new special copyright would require registration to allow the creator have these additional controls.

(also, while the U.S. automatically grants copyright, I understand it requires the copyright to be registered before filing a law suit claiming infringement)

My new #copyright will be available only to individual creators. Corporations will have to stick with the current system:

As this new copyright will be non-transferable, you will not be permitted to assign it to any other person, or to any corporate entity. Corporations will not be able to access this new form of copyright, and will continue to use the current regime.

Creativity is a personal act; this new right will only ever vest with the individual person who created the work, if that's their preference.
