Don't go NC. Authors should be able to sell their work (and derivates too)
The original author could sell their work anyway.
the author can still sell the work, the NC prevents other people from profiting off of it without explicit permission (this does not prevent exemptions, work can still be sold under cc-by-sa as an exemption)
It's useful as it makes it harder for AI to use it. Derivates can still reach out to ask to be allowed to sell it
We shouldn't throw humans under the bus just to thwart AI. This is not the way.
I'm fine with making people email me if they want to sell derivatives of a creative work tho
And if you're dead or incarcerated or otherwise uncontactable?
Then I won't be suing for copyright infringement
copyright will eventually expire after your death
and cc nc does not prevent derivatives, just profiting off of them without explicit permission, which is not that big of a deal
It is a big deal! Its the difference between starving and not
There are other ways of creating income you know.
Making income from open licensing is the only ethical option, though.
