It's Not Really Sharing When the Default Is Not

For me, as most people know, the default is to allow sharing (not reselling - that's a different thing altogether - but sharing) So I am sympathetic with Alan Levine's point here. Though I would hardy single out SlideShare - there are far worse culprits. Meanwhile, after this post, I think I should give Levine a pink pony and urge him to calm down. It's OK if an occasional Bryan Alexander slideshow is marked 'all rights reserved' by accident. These days, when someone asks me what my license is, I say "I don't care." Because, honestly, life is too short to spend worrying about copyright and licenses. Getting all heated up about these things benefits only the lawyers.
