Years ago I'd read that Gumroad was embracing AI or some such and I intended to close my account, which only included one self-published novella from 2013, which rarely sells any copies. But I had $4.50 in sales and you can't cash out until you hit $10. The book was set to pay-what-you-want and most people paid $0. The book is #cc0.

Now I'm getting solicitations from clearly AI-written emails for book promoters and someone with a questionable gmail address just downloaded a free copy. I'm kind of thinking of finally trying to close out that account to end the nonsense (the book is online elsewhere).

Does anyone have any thoughts? Is it worth just staying on there? If Gumroad is as ethically questionable as I recall, should I try to cash out?

If the latter option is the move, then I need presumably at least two people to buy a download of a weird indie novella released under #FreeCulture terms, for about $5 each. Any takers?

#PSA: #CreativeCommons is NOT synonymous with #FreeCulture. It’s only an overlap.

#CC paradoxically has licenses that are anti-Creative or anti-Commons. Any work under a NonCommercial or NoDerivatives restriction can NEVER be part of #FreeCulture.

CC0, CC BY, CC BY-SA (any version) fall under free culture/software. Other CC licenses don't.

Many ppl new to the scene make the beginner mistake by choosing -NC and/or -ND and falsely believe they contributed to free culture. They didn’t.

#PSA: If you want to release anything under a #CreativeCommons license, like CC BY (Attribution), ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS specify the version.

This is very important because each version is a different #license. If the version is missing, this creates a needless legal uncertainty for people who want to use your work.

Same goes for platforms that allow to select a license.

Example: CC BY 3.0 and CC BY 4.0 are two different licenses.

Obligatory IANAL.
