Yup, I think so, too. They could facilitate contact between publications and their writers. Failure to do so is either an oversight or something I'd rather not name.
Copyright is incredibly hard to enforce and across national boundaries as is possible via the Internet, the enforcement is even harder. The Fashion Industry has to rely on Logo covered merchandise and their Trademark to have even the slightest chance of stopping a copycat. Writers really don't have a way to protect their words.
Blockchain when connected to a story is a proof of ownership tool. You can use the blockchain to trace the origin and prove that works were authored by certain people. It is basically how NFTs are created.
Yeah, History of Yesterday has been hit before. Last time it was a Japanese outfit. We can't do much because the countries they operate out of don't have laws that protect our content. The worst part is having our names removed.
Maybe we should, and maybe Medium should make it easier for publication owners to contact their writers. I’m kind of wondering if I should write about that…
Yes, you probably should write about that. :)

Happy Birthday! (in advance)
Thanks, Sara :)

Maybe NFTs/blockchain might be useful after all.
I followed right up to the end. How might blockchain help?

Yup, that's the worse for sure. One guy on Medium suggested putting our name in the image alt tag. Wonder if those would get stripped out, too
Happy Early Birthday, Linda! (It's never too early or too late to celebrate ;-)).
Thanks, Marie! It's tomorrow, so it's not too early. Glad it's on the weekend this year so I'm not working. :)
Many blessings on your b-day tomorrow, Linda! 🎂🍾🥳
Thanks, Linda. :)
Happy Birthday, Linda!!!!!
Thanks, Jeff
Yes, you should as a type form & only for communicating about the publication. People are weird about their email.
Yup, agree it would only be for the publication. But would be good to have when needed, for sure
Happy Birthday Linda🧁
Thanks, Margie

I'd love a way to contact individuals.
Hi Linda, I hope you had a wonderful Birthday! Thank you for being you.
Belated happy birthday wishes. Re "What a world we live in, where theft is okay if it doesn’t rank first in Google."
You LOL-ed. I want to sob...but your response is healthier.
