nit: we created copyright to ensure the content creators receive compensation.
What you said is technically correct, but let's be clear that authors are creating something and they deserve to be compensated.
- kethinov 7y agoNo, that's wrong. Copyright was not created to guarantee you compensation. It was created to guarantee whatever money your work makes goes to you and nobody else. If your work makes no money because everyone chose to consume it for free at a library instead, then you need a better business model.
