"There are those of us who do not agree with Copyright and would gladly suffer the negatives to be rid of it."
And most of these people are not people who are trying to earn a living from their works.
- Spivak 11y agoThe problem with this argument is that the underlying assumption is, "I have a right to make a living through the sale of information." This is a popular idea to say the least, but it's a positive right which is why I disagree with it. I do not think that people should be able to own ideas and information. > And most of these people are not people who are trying to earn a living from their works. You could make the same argument to a person who wanted to abolish slavery. Just because someone is earning a living by doing something doesn't mean it's right.
