    I think your first idea is very interesting. It essentially turns public domain (with attribution) into the default. I wonder whether you have to opt-in to copyright before sharing, or if you get a small indow to opt-in after sharing. For example, a creator shares something online that “goes viral” unexpectedly without specifying the work is copyrighted. Do they get a period (say 60 days) to specify “wait, this is under copyright”?

      I was thinking “lifetime opt-in but no retroactive effect”, but a “grace period” could be interesting for viral cases, yeah!
