Existing copyright law already entails that anything you write is automatically "all rights reserved" by default. Slapping an explicit license on it merely means granting exceptions to that default. So, for maximum perceived legal control, you need do nothing more. > what i intend to do is to protect my personal writings and make > organizations like the nsa to choose > between respecting or breaking the law. Isn't the verdict on this question already crystal clear as it is? It seems absolutely futile to me to expect an organization like the NSA to care one way or another. They are engaged in much larger scale illicit activities than merely storing your personal writings against your will. Kind regards, Arto -- Arto Bendiken | @bendiken | http://ar.to
