feel like i see an uncomfortable amount of artists posting on social media that things are allowed/disallowed "because of copyright" when nobody with an even slightly decent understanding of how copyright law actually works would claim that

i think this used to a problem but platforms don't really feel like they can get away with anymore. now yeah, it's mostly things required for hosting, distribution, usually a fairly open-ended clause that they can "use" the work without renumeration but NOT giving full copyright

It doesn't help that people tend to invent ways they think it works themselves, and use words that mean totally different things interchangeably.
