i wonder if there's a way to change the copyright licence of a work in a will? i'm guessing not.
On the off-chance that i made something that became popular, i'd be perfectly happy for people to make derivative works for free. There's no higher compliment. As far as i'm concerned, the laws are there to protect small businesses from having their ideas stolen, not to protect things that are sufficiently commercially successful on their own terms that they inspire derivative works.

See, I mostly feel the same way, but I see kind of a dilemma with that.
If writing were to become my livelihood, I would need to at least exert enough level of control over it to make sure I have an income. As much as I would love to be able to give stuff away for free, if I'm doing it as a full-time career, I'll still need a way to support myself and my theoretical family, you know?
i guess if it was your full-time career i can see how that would be a problem.
i wonder if there's a way to retain exclusive rights to reproduce a work itself while freely allowing derivative works? That's what i'd want to do, i think. At least at first, i wouldn't mind relinquishing the rights later.
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
I feel kind of hypocritical saying this stuff, considering that I am using an avatar of a Disney character and that one of ABC Inc's favorite things to do is buy up more copyrighted material

Maybe release the characters and setting into the public domain while holding onto the stories proper?
Ideally i'd want to also permit the use of snippets longer than (specific figure) x words but shorter than (specific figure > x) y words, but that might overcomplicate things.
Taking the time to draft an elaborate licence like this seems like it would be rather presumptuous...

I was thinking that, too.
I'm sure that, given enough lawyers, you could make it work. :P

Weird confession: At some point I would like the opportunity to direct traffic.
'Course, I really shouldn't do that, since I've never been trained and as such I'm not qualified to do it safely.
And yes, I am THE METAL GUY. Fuck you if you hate it.
I tried to like it once, I really did. I listened to several black/doom/etc metal bands until I realized that what I was listening to was noise accompanied by some guy doing his best to destroy his vocal cords
Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
Listening to a podcast about old video game systems and the mention of how something like the Atari 7800 was something your well-meaning but clueless grandmother bought you back for Christmas 1986
"Atari? That's what all the kids like now, right?" and then all your friends at school mock you mercilessly while they trade tips about Castlevania and Super Punch-Out
Anyway that reminded me that this sort of thing actually has a market now what all with Branscome International and all their horrible Pixar knockoffs

What happened was is I was still pretty new as a Marine and I radioed in, "Do I salute the Governor when he passes by?" and I got the reply to do so, so I did
then I heard someone yelling at me back all DID YOUR STUPID ASS SALUTE HIM
yes gunny
ARE YOU IN THE NATIONAL GUARD
no gunny
so that day I learned only the Army National Guard for that state salutes the Governor

This kind of thing pissed me off back in the day, now I am just sort of amused.
We actually did get an NES at our house, but not until Christmas 1988.
Also, I looked up Branscome International, and it turns out they're just a distributor; the films in question were made by Video Brinquedo in Brazil. Incidentally, probably the funniest thing about the English dub of Ratatoing is the voice work; the same dub crew that did Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! for 4Kids worked on it, and it's just as hammy as you'd expect.
She opened her eyes. The sea glowed red in the setting sun. They used to come here all the time, before. She had thrown herself into combat in a bid to forget. But, in the end, it never worked. Seven years, and yet her mind was still clouded with regret. With anger. At herself, and at her. She had let her leave, let her abandon her. Maybe it was irrational. But by now, it didn't matter. The choices that had lead to this point were long since past. Closing her eyes again, she whispered two words. "I'm sorry". She jumped.
Spontaneous acts of storytelling. Truly a terrifying epidemic.

For some reason I'm thinking of Dan Green's Knuckles voice
It always reminded me of Spike from Tom and Jerry for some reason
You know, my inherent boredom with my humdrum schedule (that, and my intense inner hatred of it) has given me new insight as to why people like stuff like Call of Duty.
It's mindless, yes, but it's an escape. That's what all gaming is for the most part but really, why else would we make such booming, bombastic portrayals of war the norm? It's such a way away from the 9-to-5 most of us are used to, or the 7:25-to-2:18, in my case. (In other news, whoever came up with the high school schedule for Raleigh is... well, let's just say they don't possess a valid comprehension of the teenage mindset.)

You think that's odd? I was out on an exercise at zero dark stupid one morning and the Marine next to me was all "man I can't wait to get back to the barracks to play some more Halo"
Also from what I understand, several places nationwide are considering having school start at 9am because they say that student's brains are more awake by then, but that just means they'll sleep in later. My day starts at 3:30am every day because mornings are nice and quiet
Marines playing Halo, eh? Curious. (Understandable that it isn't Call of Duty though, I could imagine that those would probably be laughed off or thrown out of windows.)
Also, that'd give me a valid excuse for staying up until 3:30. :P

i wouldn't mind so much if it was the original creators who owned the rights, but it usually isn't.
But personally i feel that ideas ought to be free anyway, as far as possible without disincentivising new creators.

I'd say maybe 5% of the metal I've listened to I've found incredibly interesting and atmospheric.
The rest is well....yeah.
I imagine it's like trying to get someone into hip-hop and the first record you give him is Kool Keith's Dr. Octagonecologyst.
Also, I should have slept..but I couldn't since I was too depressed.
