You say it's a copyright license, and I think that's exactly where I'm struggling with this. My understanding is that this is a license for something copyrighted or otherwise protected. Copyright protects things from their creation. A copyright license provides certain people action that would otherwise be denied by copyright. So are you saying that your understanding is that what we write here on Lemmy is copyrighted, with authors holding the rights? That would be helpful to know because that has not been my understanding of copyright (and I know country plays an important role here), so that would be interesting to look into.

Yes, that's exactly it.

Services often do have:

you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, distribute, and display such user content

But, I don't know how that plays out in different jurisdictions, which license those services redistribute the content as, and so on. That's for the copyright lawyers to figure out.

Dude you are living in a dream world. You have the same thought process as sovereign citizens.

Ah gotcha; that's helpful. That's not been my understanding of this content, so I'll have to look into that, thanks.

I may be wrong as I'm not a lawyer, but that's just my understanding 🙂 Who knows. Have a good day!
