       Folk understandings of copyright are so curious.  People upload whole albums to YouTube (and good on 'em) and then write "No copyright infringement is intended" in the video description.  This is roughly on par with stabbing somebody in the face while yelling "No murder is intended!".

       @solderpunk I write something similar, to the effect of "It's easier to ask forgiveness than permission; copyright infringement is acknowledge but not cared about unless you make me."

       @solderpunk I've also often seen that shortened to "No copyright intended", which is actually kind of cute in a way.

       @solderpunk Also "I don't own any rights on this video".At least we seem to have got past the days when people thought writing "This is for educational purposes only" would keep them out of trouble.

       @squaregoldfish Aah, I kind of miss that one, though, it's nostalgic. :)  Besides, even if it might not be valid as a legal defense in all circumstances, it's at least a coherent statement about the relationship between deed and responsibility.  That's much better than simply stating a lack of intent to do precisely the thing you have just done.

       @squaregoldfish But I find the whole notion deeply interesting, that the legality or illegality of an act can be entirely unrelated to the act itself and instead determined entirely by the uttering a magic incantation at the time of said act.
