Well authors also want to make money, so we have to choose between having high quality writing that people get paid for or free low quality writing that people don't get paid for.
- matheusmoreira 6y agoPeople with something to say will write regardless of whether they get paid. People wrote books before copyright and will continue to write books no matter what happens. The internet itself proves this. I have no doubt they'll find other ways to make money through writing. Maybe authors will be able to set up a patreon or something. An artificial 100+ year monopoly on the data they create is nothing but rent seeking. It's also unenforceable in the 21st century.
