I used to want to CC-BYing with Death my works.

When I saw Audrey Tang making her works CC-0, I started to consider the option of CC-0. I thought “CC-0 with death” was a good idea, since it is unlikely that he would exercise his rights based on CC-BY after his death.

Since Audrey has been CC-0 since she was alive and does not seem to have any problems with it, I began to think that the “with death” condition was also unnecessary. Then I added “If you don’t want to die, die now.” and “You may not have the ability to regret it when you die.” and realized that it would be easier to do that action as if you were dead while you were alive than to implement a mechanism to do the action after death. I realized that it is easier to do the action as if you were dead while you were alive than to implement a mechanism to do the action after death.

Today is January 1, 2024, and since it is a close date, I am declaring my work on this Scrapbox CC-0 as of today.

However, users need to understand that CC-0 does not mean “everything is free”.

  • About “Citation
    • Under Japanese copyright law, the rights of copyright holders are restricted when making quotations. - Anything published can be cited.
    • Therefore, there are some articles on this Scrapbox that cite the works of others X.
    • Even if the article is CC-0, using only the “X’s copyrighted work” portion of the article could infringe X’s copyright.

I would like to make “all my works” CC-0, but at the moment I cannot make books CC-0 due to a contract with the publisher, so I am restricting it to “my works on this Scrapbox”. We would like to expand the scope of CC-0 in the future, but it is possible that new non-CC-0 works may be created depending on the situation.
