I guess this quickly becomes a very broad topic with many many sides and nuances, but I'd like to add another question that bothers me:
Why are creators of popular public statues or significant landmarks treated differently than, for instance, music composers or book authors?
They get a one time fee for their creation and, with some exceptions (e.g. no unauthorized pictures of Brussels' Atomium), that's it?
- BearGoesChirp 9y agoAnother interesting question, what is the role of libraries in all of this? If I check out a book I want to read and read it, my likelihood of buying the book drops significantly. Some libraries even allow this for movies and games.
