@kent_eh exactly.

The alternative is “if you want your content to be private, share it privately.”

If you transmit your content to anyone who sends you a GET request, you lose control of that content. The recipient has the bits.

It would be nice to extend the core technology to better reflect your intent. Perhaps embedding license metadata in the images, the way LICENSE.txt travels with source code. That’s still quite weak, as we saw with Do Not Track.
