@dang: Can we change the link from Aeon to original website? It looks like Aeon re-published/re-shared without the permission, and are just enjoying the ride.

Creator's request to Aeon: https://twitter.com/RichardMisek/status/1647622806899765251

Original project link: https://www.ahistoryoftheworldaccordingtogettyimages.com

I agree that the original source is probably better and that permission and attribution would be the best thing for Aeon to do (particularly as a sizeable publication), however he did intentionally publish it as CC0.

I suppose things like this are why people hesitate to publish under CC0: it sounds great from an ideological perspective, it's much more difficult when you realize how little control it leaves you with.

Public domain and now issues an informal takedown? About this topic? That's seven layers of irony.

Yup, agree that attribution might have been more ethical thing to do, even if not required legally.

As far as I understand the author wanted to release it as CC0 after the summer screenings i.e. few months. Due to which the video isn't really available for download on official website.

Anyways, it was a fun read about CC0 after reading your comment. :)

there is attribution if you scroll down

I went to the "original" site and the video doesn't see to be available for viewing. Whereas it is available on Aeon.

Moving the link back to the creator's site will make user experience worse.

You might want to email hn support for that request.
