Just fyi, if something is unlicensed, then other people can only use it under fair use. You’re the copyright holder automatically upon publishing and retain all rights. If you intend to let people do anything, then you need to explicitly put it in the public domain or use an appropriate license.

It’s very unlikely they can legally do what you’re describing… but it’s up to you to enforce it.

Most people wouldn't enforce it.

Thousands in legal fees, chasing someone across different timezones and the sheer amount of work isn't worth it unless it's a legit business.

Copyright laws really fail for those without money.
