If I decide to self-publish a book what happens to the copyright? Is there a way to prevent others from claiming copyrights for a book published autonomously? Are there OS licenses specifically tuned for books?

We shouldn't throw humans under the bus just to thwart AI. This is not the way.

I'm fine with making people email me if they want to sell derivatives of a creative work tho

And if you're dead or incarcerated or otherwise uncontactable?

copyright will eventually expire after your death

and cc nc does not prevent derivatives, just profiting off of them without explicit permission, which is not that big of a deal

It is a big deal! Its the difference between starving and not

Then I won't be suing for copyright infringement
