If they write a story that says 'RockyMcNuts says' and a couple of paragraphs of fair use, I'm cool with it.

If they put a whole blog post up on their site with my byline and a linkbait headline, they're getting a lawyer letter, and a lawsuit after about 72 hours.

If you have a license that says "you may reproduce, reblog, and modify my content, but you must provide proper attribution," then that's what people are going to do.

And if you have a license that says they can't, then you can take the steps to stop them. Maybe it's a pain to have to ask people to respect your rights, but with some people that's what you have to do.
