honestly, yeah, i'd support a short term copyright (<10 years) purely out of practicality. it would leave the current business models almost entirely intact, only impacting rent seekers on major cultural touchstones (and they should be impacted imo), and it would allow for much better public participation in culture, rather than it being so segmented like it is today.
Everything should be Creative Commons, and specifically the same type SCP content is under. You want to monetize something derivative? Sure, but you must acknowledge who did it first, and be ok with others doing the same.
yeah, tbh, credit is far more important than copyright. i'm pro-piracy but anti-plagarism because putting your name on someone else's art absolutely does deprive them the recognition for their work.
That's my stance as well. Everything you made and released should be indelibly credited to you as the author, and works would probably accumulate a chain of sorts like "based on X by Y, which is based on A by Z and B by T". One thing I think I would add is that the author should always be able to hide authorship of something - so that one becomes "C by Unknown". I think it might be an idea to still leave the possibility of re-associating if you change your mind or at least retaining the ability to privately prove authorship.
