Well put.
This feels like some bizarre end game of "information wants to be free" where instead of railing against content owners expecting to be paid for content people are railing against the idea that content creators can have any control over their creations whatsoever.
- tomc1985 5y agoBut they can't. Once the work is out there, any control that the author is given is an affordance. Trying to fight it is why we live in a world of draconian DRM and licensing-not-ownership To be clear: an artist's control of a work ends once it is in the hands of their audience.
- sincerely 5y agoWell, the work in question is not "out there".
