Title 17 wasn't written as an MBA business plan template... it was written as law.

- hashtagmarkup 6y agoBeing in or out of jail is boolean.
- bawolff 6y agoWhat's your point? All events either do or do not happen. Are you suggesting that risk management only applies to events that are not boolean?
- hashtagmarkup 6y agoI am suggesting that you keep bringing up risk management out of nowhere while I try to teach you how laws work.

Specifically, copyright supports some businesses where the cost to create the first item (e.g., book, music, video game) is very high, but the cost required to replicate the item is very low. Copyright law gives options to rights holders that they can consider using to enforce their rights. In cases where infringers are clearly interfering with their business (e.g., selling or giving away copies of their work), then the rights holder may choose to sue for infringement. In the case of streamers on Twitch where the infringement may lead to increased interest in their product, they may choose to do nothing.
