Now that people are able to export their collaborations for potential review by publishers and the like I am asking if we should change our story license policy to a more restrictive copyright so that you retain more rights as joint authors?

This is our current license. Should go back to standard copyright protection for our authors? I really don't know much about this.

So, I have some chapters that are public viewable. And some have been viewable for quite some time. Say random "X" person comes along to read but gets some ideas of their own and decides to c/p the work my writers and I have created, changes some names, etc, and ultimately does something with it without our consent. How does said mentioned copyright cover us in that circumstance?

The copyright even the CC license we currently use, provides you protection from people using your content outside the agreed upon usage. Meaning they can't legally take your material and use it for commercial reasons or with out attributing the original source material.   

Now it's up to you to protect those legal rights.

Of course, I wouldn't expect anyone but myself to clean up my own mess.

Alright, so having read the fine print, what is the difference between SC's current copyright and a standard?
