Perhaps there should be something in between the current system and no copyright at all.
For example, the law could be changed to give the creator of a work certain rights to use it even if they sell the right to commercialize the work.
- asdfasgasdgasdg 7y agoSure, but we'd expect that to decrease the value of the rights that they sell proportional to the value of those work rights. I guess that's a trade that artists/legislators could choose to make. OTOH, they could just negotiate such deals today if they considered it important. Maybe this is a case where the law needs to account for the human tendency to discount hyperbolically.
- true_religion 7y agoAs far as I know, the studio is happy to let her perform the work non-commercially, but that’s not what she wants. She wants to be able to be paid for a performance.
- thaumasiotes 7y agoAgain, why does the compulsory cover license not satisfy this?
- true_religion 7y agoBecause she sold the right to commercialize her work. It's part of the comment I'm responding to. Adding a compulsory non-commercial license won't help an artist who wants sell commercial licences when they are getting started, then unilaterally renege because they are popular enough to do it all themselves.
