As a many-times-published author, I *do* understand the problem.
The way copyright law works, *if you don't enforce your copyright, you lose
it*.


That was my first thought...but according to this site
https://www.plagiarismtoday.com/stopping-internet-plagiarism/your-copyrights-online/3-copyright-myths/
That though applies to Trademarks, not copyrights.


Copyright is not like trademark. Copyright has a set period of time for
which it is valid and, unless you take some kind of action, you do not give
up those rights.


To be fair, the level of enforcement or protection you’ve provided a work
can be a factor in how much damages are awarded.
