I know these aren't your arguments but I can't help but respond to them. > Saying “I was respectful!” often doesn’t fly. I think there's a big difference between works that are mockeries versus work that seeks to make something beautiful & useful that's obvious to most people. > It seems unfair when an impoverished people creates something beautiful but gets little economic benefit from it, while someone from a richer country/ethnicity comes along, reproduces it, and then makes a lot of money. I can understand this sentiment if the derivative work is nothing more than a copy. However this is an argument that's similar to the ones that proponents of extending copyright forever make. It's just another form of gate keeping and monopoly. Ideas should be shared and used. It helps promote and continue innovation, and in this case share culture.
