for the record

I'm unreasonably irritated by people who make derivative art going from something that is under normal copyright, and then CC-license their derivative work with a NO DERIVATIVE WORKS tag.

Just sayin'. It's lame.

I'm not sure irritation at that is actually unreasonable.

I was just about to say this.

Hm, maybe not so much the irritation as the DEGREE of irritation. I mean, I'm still irritated by the specific example just thinking about it now.

I'm entirely with you on the twitchy, frothing irritation. For me it's particularly about people helping themselves to photographs, and the wide-eyed innocence that follows when you call them out on their appropriation and re-licencing. Fuckers.
