in reply to SO and AI

If you wanted some sort of compensation for your posts (contributions) on this site, why didn't you say so? I mean, it is understandable that when you post either on Facebook or your own website or X or anywhere on social media or a forum that you're not charging money for people to read your post. Most of the time just the opposite is true. People WANT their content to become read and be popular for free. So, I don't understand this mentality of "Hey, if someone is selling my posts, then I want all of them deleted right NOW!" Lol If someone wants to sell this site's content, so be it. If they want to feed it into AI's brain (which I think, has already happened), then let them do it! Who cares? Why bother? I don't understand your concern. Besides, there isn't anything we can do to stop it. It's like the grass on the side of the highway. If somebody wants to get out of his car and harvest the grass and sell it as hay, why worry about it? Let's look on the bright side--they're mowing the grass for free! So, if someone wants to sell all of PerlMonks data, it has advantages too. We will all be famous! Haha

      Ok. Let me quote him. This is what he said: "I have not been notified nor paid for my small contributions."
[reply]
        You are not quoting from the post you replied to, and he didn't say that he wants to be paid.

        He wants to keep control that his contributions are used in the same spirit.

        Why he's dragging his dispute with SO to us is beyond me.

        I suppose that SO has a disclaimer that is taking the rights of the authors...°

        AFAIK, PM restricts rights only in terms of deletions, because otherwise they would render whole threads useless.
