A Bug in Early Creative Commons Licenses Has Enabled a New Breed of Superpredator

January 30, 2022 / Cory Doctorow / Articles, News, Podcast

A hand on a multibutton mouse, the body behind it is blurred and out-of-focus; a larger 'DANGER' label in red, white and black, has been superimposed over it.

This week on my podcast, I read a recent Medium column, A Bug in Early Creative Commons Licenses Has Enabled a New Breed of Superpredator about my experience with Pixsy, a new kind of copyright troll that targets Creative Commons users.
