| Ah! Genericide! My own weakness! |
Sometimes one does self-publishing gigs within the Discord, and gets accused of freebooting for not crediting creators. Despite the self-evident benefit of the doubt, high status users here and low status product 'content' creators.
Its not good enough.
Yet is it oneself or is it the lack of brand recognition?
How to respond or react to what feels like snide legalese and courtesy, a clown within a suit? (It may not be, internalising such a response is the first step.)
- "This is what happens, when somebody accuses of freebooting and does not check the artist's profile and body of work, which explicitly states the ownership." (React and act high status, bite back with more snide legalese.) Or..
- "Oh, this ain't my fault or his, merely dismiss the as ignorant and misguided. Merely be polite and continue, because one needs to go back to work." (Respond with the status role if no status role.)
The latter sounds more civil, simply because. Time spent on copyright and ownership, treated like real estate, will ensure that nothing gets done. Note the status role games are being played here, then go ahead.
Which legalese should I say to make it apparent? You'll notice I'm still spending time on this.
- To the moderators, this is Couch Gregorian Brand certified, as described in the Cough Gregorian Brand of a shapeshifting couch golem by the signature in the top right/left. A circle, a couch, and initials with the date. 🛋️™️ To further verify, check my profile description of my body of work. Where nothing is non-commercially told and verified within.
- This is Couch Gregorian, one and only certified 🛋️™️
- This is the one and only Couch Gregor'd
"Thank you, I'll make creditation of the couch Gregor brand more obvious."
Middlemen persist, better or worse.
I could cut out all the formal talk altogether and then.
Sorry [moderators or moderator], I'll try to make my self creditation clearer.
Yet, what defines good creditation? Where are the gatekeepers who prescribe the rules now?
Regardless, this is the business signal for a freelancer that he needs to find better clients, if the clients simply don't care enough to do their job of treating the freelancer as the one and only with his brand. Then that's not a positive sign you're serving the right clients.
Vote with one's feet, one way to avoid these pointless legalese/formal negotiations within the commercial arena is to walk away.
