- Taywee 4y agoCopyright doesn't punish incidentally matching content. It's specifically right to copy or transform content. To make a case for copyright violation, you have to make the case that it was actually copied. If you want to make a point about things that incidentally match making people who independently reinvent the same thing, you're criticizing the function of software patents, not copyright.

- colechristensen 4y agoNo, it was published to be read. It was not published to be freely reproduced without adhering to licenses, etc. You don't need to acquire rights to read a newspaper (other than say, paying a dollar), you do need rights to copy articles and sell them.
