- golergka 9y agoWe can have a debate about what is reasonable in terms of music too. But once the copyright owner, be it a musician or a software engineer, decides on a license, we can't just violate his decision, even if we decide that it's unreasonable. Speaking as a musician, I have posted my tracks on Youtube and supplied a link to download them for free on Bandcamp. But when I released a music with a label, I delegated all the distribution rights to that label, and they made a decision not to offer free downloads. I may disagree with their decision, but it's theirs to make since I signed the contract.
